My dad was a driver with massive experience in driving all kind of vehicles for the Arunachal Police. Gypsy was the first vehicle where I learnt how to drive a car. It is a solid reliable car even if it is malfunctioning. My dad drove a gypsy for months with a very bad steering play which no one had the expertise or time to fix the issue. The officers only allowed my dad to drive it coz only he understood the extent of play in it. If anybody else would have driven that car then most likely they would end up in a bad accident. I have many good memories with it as a kid. My dad used to drive the car and I would shift the gears.
Quality video as always 👌 . But can we take a moment to appreciate the Editor?? That "phuuli hui hatchback" edit was seamless 🤣

Maruti Suzuki Gypsy will always be an iconic SUV in India. This mountain goat has served our Warriors faithfully and many of them retired in the hands of civilians who love and take good care of them.
I'm a proud owner of a Retired 2002 model Gypsy.
My Dad served in army for 19 years in army medical corps where his trade was mt he drove gypsy,Nissan Jonga,sml,shaktiman etc mainly he used to drive gypsy bcoz most of the time he used to do officer duty and at the time of his retirement in 2007 there came ashok Leyland ls ..And in 2012 my father got recruited in kolkata armed police and till now he is driving gypsy ..and I also learned driving from kolkata police gypsy..its fabulous car ...
Recently we purchased a second hand waganor of 2012 model blue eyed version awesome mileage low maintenance cost excellent after sales service and easy to find spare parts and super reliable engine...I am maruti fan ..maruti an emotion of middle class..
Gypsy king was use by the Indian Army for 31 years and still going🤯.. That itself says everything about this Iconic Vehicle🔥 So yes 4th gen Jimny is a worthy heir to the throne..
Yess 35 years of trust...
Still they are using....
It's gypsy legacy
As an Army brat myself, and ridden those gypsy only when I was with my father around the country. Must say the gypsy was like an icon for the Indian army refined smooth and reliable. Until the safari showed up, I personally think Indian Army's budget should be used more on armoured vehicles as most of the attacks on UT of J&K happen nowadays in a broad day light and frequent blasts. I really hope there will be more armoured vehicles in the Army than just utilitarian vehicles.
Lakin article 370 ka baad to sab kuch theek hoga h.
@@alwahabmedia5824 article 370 aur terrorists ke hamlon ka koi connection bhi hai. I don't know why people think that 🤔. Two major terrorists spotting and encounter one literally on new year in Jammu city not even Kashmir. I don't even feel safe thinking, koi bhi udha jaega.
as a supplies carrier in deserts & mountains - if only the cabin is armoured , it will increase safety & won't increase weight too much.
on normal terrain ( like jammu ) , we should use armoured vehicles.
@@pravindahiya719 exactly 🥂
i was thinking Same about safety Suzuki is not good in making safe cars gypsy was light good off road vehicle.But at current pace BRO is making border area accessible i think Army needs safer vehicle can compromise with carrying capacity just guessing.
Indian Army is very humble
In Bikharistan, common people cannot afford above 100cc bikes whereas army has Toyota hilux, range rover, land cruiser, etc

GYPSY a fantastic & capable all terrain vehicle reincarnated as JIMNY with much needed upgradation. There should be no reason for Army, Airforce to like it as before. It reminds me another vehicle loved most by Army & special forces FROM 60'S to 90'S was "JONGA" (NISSAN PATROL 1 Toner) manufactured in Vehicle Factory Jabalpur under complete TOT from Nissan of Japan with ordnance Factories of India.
Welcome JIMNY.
I think thar should be thier next choice .. it proved to be the best one . What u say ?
@@abhijeetkar422 Whatever vehicles Indian Armed Forces induct in it, it comes through very tough selection trials. All the trial parameters are set in a form of qualitative requirement document.
The vehicles participates are all put to these trials which varies from Desert, sub zero temperature maximum altitude Himalayas over deep snow & ice, mud & off roading. Which vehicles scores maximum they only take them.
Due to petrol engine & light weight Gypsy or Jimny may have advantage over others.
@@abhijeetkar422
No thar has been failed in army test...
It's good but not a proper core off roader...
It's Basically a lifestyle and show-off vehicle...
Literally i wanted video on this topic & u've answered my all queries regarding this in ur video.
I don't think Indian army would even think of opting Maruti Jimny .
Alot of people dismissed Jimny because of it's size,not realising it's smaller size is it's real USP. A smaller ,lightweight 4x4 car is very practical.
Light weight jimny Very practical and very dangerous at the same let’s wait for the crash test ratings 😂

Enjoyed to revisit Jimny history again. Being an avid fan I already researched it earlier but way you presented is good. No doubt it will be a darling of off-roaders and city dwellers alike. The kind of mods that will be possible on it is beyond imagination. From micro defender look to retro look everything is possible. So far it has clicked 3.2 million worldwide sales in last 30 years. I don’t see why it can’t touch 10 mil in next 10 years.
wanna check jimny's history refer donut media's up to speed on suzuki samurai (which is another name for jimny in the us)
@@P_95-77 I saw it too. Breaks my heart why Suzuki was forced to leave US market. All thanks to Jeep. Jeep is a very insecure brand.
Jimny is a spiritual successor for the original Gypsy MG 410 then latter Gypsy king 1.3, but being from the high hills of North East India, i can say Gypsy is very capable off road true SUV, that's why Assam rifles in North East still prefers Gypsy though they are old..❤️..

Lord S-Presso😂0:38
Because gypsy performers extremely well in -45 degrees where Tata safari storm can’t even start …..
Yaa to Gymny vs Thar me competion ho ,nahi to Indian Army direct Order kare *Lord Expresso* a true Offroader SUV + Widest tyre + rugged built+ Safest....

Yahi gadi agar gypsy ke naam se aayi hoti to booking bhi double hoti iski mere bhai ,
Kyunki naam hi kafi hai
Love and appreciate from INDIAN ARMY
Completely Agree with you Bro 😂
THE BIGGEST JOKE OF SUZUKI ="S-presso is a SUV"😂
I liked your approach to video making. You pick up a relevant topic. Do thorough research and present it threadbare. No mushy stuff, no paraphernalia. Keep up the good work brother.
To know why army wants Gypsy back take a safari trip in Ranthambore in a Gypsy.
The amount of punishment this vehicle can take repeatedly is not possible in any other vehicle.
I was wondering how this vehicle isn't breaking into two during the trip to Ranthambore.
What about Thar ?
@@srikrishna2561
Two jimny could be bought at a price of one Thar.
@@srikrishna2561 Thar has IFS which consists of CV joints. Those CV joints can easily fracture. Gypsy comes with solid front axle which would never break.
@@srikrishna2561 thar is much expensive and so heavy
Even in off-road ing gypsy can easily beat thar due to its light weight and spring like structure with 4x4
@@srikrishna2561 well thar is a pseudo offroad suv than the real just do it off-roader JIMNY
Detailed and Researched review 👍
I remember old days with Gypsy, when my Uncle used to drive it, it was back in 2007, in the high terrains of Ladakh, and the car was stuck.
But uncle was least panicked. He got down, asked two men for help( we Indians are very helpful), and these four men, along with my Uncle's friend lifted the car, changed the position of it's rear, and the vehicle was all set to go...
I still remember the vehicle was extremely abuse friendly, low maintainance, and reliable. I hope Jimny matches the DNA of it's predecesors.
Well its proven to its ancestors done by international jimny ppl who put it to real world test
The thing is that the material used by suzuki makes the jimny quite light which makes it easy to maneuver . Also petrol is good for cold temperatures. So jimny is a very great car
ha vo he toh bataya h usne video mein.
Well jimny is engineered in Japan which have grueling blizzard winter season and a kei class category which make carmakers to over engineer and improving so much to perfectly well balanced vehicles
Jimmy is having solid axle which makes the suv more capable for better off-road experience
Most underrated channel on UA-cam ❤️
Informative episode. It’s clear Petrol engine is the best suited for Army operations. This will clearly turn the tables in favour of Suzuki.
The flaw lies with Mahindra’s. And Force in not developing a suitable Petrol engine.
Once a good Petrol engine with adequate Power to weight ratio is available the equations will change Till then Suzuki will rule the roost
You will become Donut Media of India ❤ inshallah your videos are the highest quality in India in this way of your infotainment videos🎉
great video as always.
one info though - diesel engines compress air to 1/16 - 1/ 18 times to ignite the fuel whereas
petrol engines compress between 1/8 - 1/9 times & also use a spark plug to ignite fuel.
now, on high altitudes , as the air is rarer as well as cold , compression only can't ignite it in diesel cars
but
the spark plug does it in petrol ones.
Such videos are always worth watching, keep uploading good stuff bro.🔥
Nice video but you missed out on few things, like Indian defence forces used two type of Gypsy one was with 1 ltr engine and then there was MG413W 80php, the Gypsy KING. Some called it tiger Gypsy specially in the Air Force..
Growing up in an Army family i remember all those moments when i got chance to sit in Gypsy and Safari. Those days were the best
Safari Storme?
@@thenovicegamer007 yup
Hey Biturbo! Really greta videos. I am neither interested in gypsy nor gymny nor automobiles nor engines of whatever. Yet your videos are so interesting because of the stories you tell and the research you do. Subscribed!
I can see too many butthurt Tata and Mahindra fanboys in the comments section 😜🤣😂as Biturbo smacked Desh ka loha fanboys with sensible points over why Jimny should be and will be choosen over by Indian Army over Thar ,Gurkha or Safari.

Thank u ❤️.. Jay hind 🇮🇳
I think in near future due to the establishment of theater command and paramilitary forces being modernized we may see all Gurkha, Thar and Jimny inducted, but when it comes to the army thar and jimny will be head to head especially the mortar crew due to the new doctrine being introduced(due to the Chinese rattling the borders). The introduction of Garuda 105 will play an important role for deciding the winner.
Exactly when i said this to uncle he said i am useless i don't know anything. Today i will share him this video proud of your videos
See,army requires a multipurpose Light Vehicle with :-
1. Multiple doors to ferry junior commissioned officers . Senior officers get safari now.
2. A 6-8 seater variant which could carry troops of quick reaction teams , pilots , guards
3. A pickup version with open bed so as to mount machine guns with rotating turrets
4. Old gypsy king did all this .
5. It's sub 4 metre meaning it can climb many steep mountains where other vehicles need to be reversed .
So , maruti needs to offer different variations of Jimny for it to be considered by army.
Safety dont matter when we talk about mileage
Well just like when gypsy introduced to Indian market and army MSI re-engineered and modified to specific purposeful for Indian needs and demand like that now they will do with original nameplate Jimny
@@amandeepbaa6978 exactly. My father's battalion has several "job specific " gypsies.
Some are 5 door , some 2 door pik up versions for ammo and stuff, some bullet proof assault vehicle , and all sort of other variants.
Gypsy is truly king when it comes to versatality it offers for its price .
Let's see what happens to jimny
@@priyanshu_sharma7023 gypsy will always be king in off-road community.
Jimny is also a good car. We can see it's performance in abroad countries
Well explained well narrated. Every one has knowledge but few have capability of execution of knowledge.
Gypsy is the humvee for Indian army !!
I liked your video.. I liked the Jimny more than Thar
ajj kal sab car bas build quality n mileage k upar focus kar rahi hai..what about fun to drive, handling, enthusiastic...whats your opinion!! nd love to watch ur videos ❤
Yea tbh cars are getting more and more boring nowadays even the luxury/sport brands are focusing on boring looking electric cars
We do have the carb version of Maruti Suzuki Omni euro 1 and with the manufacturing sticker still been attached to it. Still the engine is brand new even after covering more than 1 lakh kilometer and was never open till now
Our Indian army also know mileage is more important than safety 😀😀😀😀
Yess in mountains mileage is more important...
And in mountains and high terrains u don't need safety...
U need a capable car...

Need to see the faces of Suzuki haters. In the name of safety rating everyone forgetting how bad brakes and suspension of tata and Mahindra.

No one beat the legacy of lord spresso 📈🔥
Not only Army but other forces are also using Gypsy
spresso is real chad ❤🌚
"hi5, namaste" amazing video buddy!
Side facing rear row seats on a longer deck is a must for defence use, yes.
The Gypsy, India received was a long wheelbase version. Similarly Maruti might develop a 3 door version of a Jimmy from its 5 door chassis.
A reincarnation of the Mahindra Invader based on the Bolero Neo platform in this seating configuration will also be interesting.
Absolutely right. The Gypsy was an 8 seater. The raised rear deck and raised rear roof section allowed troops to quickly get in and get out from the rear. They may have to adapt the long chassis Jimny on similar lines.
The 3 door Jimny will not find favour with the Army.
Your understanding spot on.
Totally agree 👍
Quality knowledge, keep it up bro 🙂👍
Does an emp attack disable the new gen cars ?
Yep it can fry ecu of modern cars
If there is an emp attack you will have much bigger concerns than your car/bike not working
@@leansnscenes7806 i mean army vehicle not civilians
@@travancorepistons7309 well then to answer your question there is no vehicle in production today that has zero electronics so yes they will be affected by an emp. However if the army sees the need for it, the electronics can be protected from an attack by using something called as faraday cages , but they are not commonly used
