On this first long drive, I tested the Jimny’s highway capabilities. Is it grossly underpowered like some claim it to be, does it overtake, what’s the stability of the vehicle given its size, its mileage… I answer these and many other questions on a 200-km plus long drive.
Happy motoring! Stay tuned. And subscribe to our second channel / kripalamannavlogs for more from our food, travel and life adventures.

I usually dont like Maruthi products, but Jimny and S-Cross 1.6 are different. Those two deserve much more respect than what they get now.
Yes. But Scross 1.6 is not for normal person. It is very difficult to maintain because of its spare cost.
Ex: s cross 1.3 clutch assembly costs between 10-15k. (Locally manufactured by Maruthi)
S cross 1.6 costs 55-65k (manufactured in Italy by Fiat). Thats the problem with 1.6.
If major engine problem occurs (by collision or lack of maintainence) it will go upto 2llkhs.
@@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajREtvs Yes, I agree it's costly. But the car had a solid performance and was well built. As it was an imported engine the maintenance was costly.
Talking about the 1.6 and the Jimny , they both wer overpriced vehicles when launched and also where Maruti had to cut down its pricing ver significantly and soon take back from the market.
I hope they dont repeat the same with jimny too because eventhough its not for everyone,it has its own pedigree and capabilities. Not some matchbox on 4 wheels maruti tried to shove on the customers. Only time will tell. The market was too late to realize what Scross 1.6 was unfortunately. But in Jimnys case, im glad it was welcomed by almost everyone who deserved it.
I always wanted to buy the S-Cross! Drove my friends car on a road trip, and fell in love with it.😊
@@kc4276 I searched for long time to buy one in seconds market alas couldn't find one. Finally bought 3rd gen City.
Not related to the car but I love and admire how multi-linguistic you are ❤
A true Indian
I love the way you live your life sir.. so humble and joyful always
It is a fantastic SUV. Nice vlog! Great presentation. We don’t have this in the US as Suzuki has wound up its operations in the US. Greetings from Plano, Texas, United States. I love the style of narration, makes it interesting to watch.
Lovely....drive .....your style of description...nice.. joyful
Recently drove jimny from kerala to bangalore via mysore..
Average was an acceptable 14.5 kmpl...car has good road manners too...overall it suits as a personall car too
Yes, it’s a great vehicle. Just curious about the mileage, do you drive an automatic or manual? And how many kilometres have you done yet? Thank you.
super vlog as always Kripal Sir....
There’s no mileage, no power, build quality not so great, tyres not suitable for highway and off roading… but seriously I love the way you express it to be the best in the segment.. if I get a choice will chose any good car in the same segment or will opt for thar, for the look and everything else better compared to Jimmy. Im happy that it fills all your need👍🏻
It's quite apparent that we are at the total opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to this topic. And that's ok. To each his own. Happy motoring.
Good one… keep it coming… 🙂
Yes driving is the best way to explore a place, the gradual change in landscape, environment, people and their attire, slow build up of traffic as we approach a city... Its a good experience.
👍🏽 goung through a couple of vlogs about the jimni...this vlog was useful and much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
That's the Car I have finalised buying this Durga Puja, you certainty cleared some of the doubts I had..Thanks Sir.
Great 👍 happy motoring! Stay tuned for more vlogs where I put the vehicle to the test.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Sir, please come to West Bengal side Shantiniketan -Dooars- Darjeeling-Gangtok..
Good luck for your new Jimny! I absolutely love mine. Have been driving it daily

The best Jimny car review ever 👌
Good show Kripal. Nice and easy vlog. It’s good to chill, breathe and enjoy. Forget the mad lemming-like rush that the whole world seems to be in the midst of.
Definitely
Falling in love with your vlogs..keep posting 😊 and also you described it perfectly Sir the difference of arriving and being lift placed at the destination. I would like to complement Mr.Varun, your vlog partner.
Amazing vlog sir. Love from Canada
What you said about feeling the weight of the traffic in a 4 wheeler is 100% right. In a motorcycle we dont feel that much helpless when seeing a traffic jam as in a car.
You have lot of fine human qualities which can be emulated. You are humble and very respectful towards people. I love the lifestyle you have and you live it up !
🙏
kripal sir, get dash cam installed in your car... its very helpful
Awesome vlog sir 😊😊😊
I like this visuals and the cuts. Not the perfect but good job.
Enjoy the new ride sir. I am expecting the climb went fine. Most cars driven by experienced drivers can do the yercaud ghats without much fuss. These roads have enough shoulder for the really steep and curvy turns. I did it with an Alto and with an AWD Yeti, both without much trouble.
Video out, Sunday.
The comment about flight vs. driving was spot on. Thanks for the nice vlog
You’re welcome.
Hello Kripal Sir, Loving these jimny vlogs it's a no nonsense car and your personality suits well with this car. Of course it lacks in some areas but that doesn't make it a cheap car because I have seen it equally performing with many other big cars in the tough terrains and hilly areas even outperforming some of them unfortunately many people seems to have overlooked this car.
Wishing you miles of Happiness, road trips and unforgettable memories with your jimny.
"Happy Motoring"
Thanks, Vinay, yes, it's true that unlike other countries where the car has been a runaway success for its all round capability at an attractive price point, it hasn't met with similar response in India. I was just watching a Jimny XL (as the five door is known internationally) Australian vlog where the presenter speaks of a 6 to 12 month waiting period for the machine. I guess Suzuki erred in their ambitious pricing of the Jimny in India, and they've not been able to recover since.
In addition to pricing, they should have called it GYPSY and also positioned it as a GYPSY upgrade so that people compare it to earlier GYPSY rather than the Thar.

Your vlogs are amazing, informative, crisp and clear. I am very much inspired to go in for a Jimny soon, thanks to your vlogs. Also your vlog on the PPF n ceramic is extremely useful. Thank you very much Mr.Amanna. 👌🙏
Glad you like and find them useful, Dilip. Happy motoring!
Hi. Which dashcam do you use or recommend ? I think it’s essential to install one in the car these days.
Nice! Liked the fact that you matched the lingo when as you crossed the border! 😁 Vadai!
Thanks! 😃
Hello, i love your vlogs. The clarity of your dashcam is really good. Do you mind sharing what model dashcam you have installed in your Jimny?
Thank you. The dashcam-like shots were captured on a GoPro 10.
@@KripalAmannaVlogsno wonder 😊
After every thing said and done its your money so you have the right to enjoy it the way you want to. Love your vlogs and it does not matter how they come❤👍🏼
👍
Nice vlog, waiting for the ghats
Thanks, tomorrow.
The jimny should have been installed with 6 speed TC... But Suzuki not done that with k15b engine since it requires some time to do R&D... They felt lazy and introduced with the same 4 speed TC which is in overseas..... You should share ur feedback on drivers view in jimny which I felt so good... I think due to that only they not thought about 360 camera 😅 in it.....
Secondly yercaud is a beautiful location to visit and happy to c u too a big fan our TN's donut - Vadai.... Man u cutoff at the right moment to coming up next..... Waiting for the all grip performance.... It might pulled easily since it's a RWD default.....
I think the 4-speed works in the automatic because of the torque that it generates at the low end. Yes, Yercaud is certainly a beautiful location to drive to. Releasing the ghats drive vlog tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Nice louis phillipe jacket kripal. #respect. the jimny looks good and it more importantly it looks good with you and vice versa. the allergy: cipla - metaspray shall work wonders. (please consult a pulmonologist) before using. How do you know tamil?

" Eased into the flow of things of the place!! ".. Thats the way your vlogs works always. Kripal Sir and the entire team is a great treat. Wish you collaborate with @bigbear customs for a collaboration of the bikers!!
Love your vlogs!! Stay blessed🙏
Thanks Arun, I know Arun Ramdas of Big Bear well. Perhaps our paths may cross on a collab someday. 🙌

Have filmed an episode at Selvi already ua-cam.com/video/fqhBvW4MYxQ/v-deo.htmlsi=JQYSCl44DIjmJSzn
Black shade absorbs so much of heat. Can you make dosa by pouring dosa batter on the Jimny bonnet :)
haha! will find out eventually!
@@KripalAmannaVlogs I mean to say the bonnet will absorb so much of heat both from the sun (due to the black shade) as well as the engine.
@@ADabtU I got you the first time itself.
Like the views, coconut water, 'Illaneer' in Tamil I'm thinking that's how they would call young coconut's too. Anyways nice Vlog in the comfort of the 'Jimny'.
Thanks for the info
Expecting to see more drives from jimny and more from Fatboy too, thanks for sharing sir, it's invigorating to see the visuals.
Sir is the color of the car is black or dark green with black shades?
🙌
The shade is called bluish black.
Thanks for the information sir@@KripalAmannaVlogs
Jimny is like a Bene Masala dosa of Vidyarthi Bhavan. It becomes more special when Kripal sir has his hands on it. Sir have a nice trip.
haha! good one @shreeharshabn5367 with benne!
Thats a beautiful Black Jimny and your great highway drive.
In the heavy city traffic as well the size of this car really help. It might look tiny from outside but from the inside and from behind steering wheel and with that bonnet view of road does not feel claustrophobic at all to drive.
Enjoying my everyday commute and also much needed weekend getway in my beautifully engineered 5 door Jimny.
Owning Alpha MT ❤
True, it's a vehicle that looks compact on the outside, but is big in its versatility and capability!
happy motoring to you too, what colour is your J?
Pearl Arctic White.
Though I booked and invoiced for bluish black but some goof-up from the nexa.
Anyways I'm enjoying the drive in the coastal belt of Udupi with all the beautiful ghats of Agumbe, Charmadi and Kudremukha. ❤
@@balashetty007 nice the white looks great too. I'm hoping to hit the Agumbe stretch sometime soon.
Jimmy's suspension set is said to be too soft! That's why I think you saw the vehicle shaking as the bigger vehicles passed by! And I have personally seen- which I felt weird- was when two adults sat on the back seat how the whole vehicle sulked to the extent that the nose went up😮
I think it's more to do with the low weight of the vehicle and the rapid shift in airflow when heavy vehicles pass at close quarters. Btw, the shake is when I was outside the vehicle leaning on it, not when driving in it. I've had 4 adults sit in the vehicle, no issues at all. The suspension set up is the sort that absorbs bumps well.
Sir.. recently saw news of explosion at RC.. Hoping for good and wellness😢
Hi Kripal Sir,
Feeling very happy enjoying the Mountain Goat...U cant find a little squeak even after extreme off roading which we do regularly in near by hilly terrains in Coimbatore.Such a brilliant compact machine.....
I agree, it's like everything has been bolted or pt together really tight! The only sound one hears is the thud at the rear when one goes over a nasty bump without slowing down.
@@KripalAmannaVlogsYeah sir ur right but its road manners compared to its competitors is far better than anything in its category..
This video has some really cool tips for all you Jimny owners out there who want to keep your ride simple and awesome. Check it out and get ready to take your driving experience to the next level! Oh, and by the way, your Suzuki Jimny looks absolutely stunning, like a mini FJ. Keep on motoring adventures bro and stay safe out there! Thank you!🥰
Thank you.
Well the engine in the jimny is the older version of 1.5. It has single injector per cylinder. The newer one has 2 injectors but slightly lacks low end response.
That’s interesting to learn, Vivek. Don’t know much about the technical stuff, but am guessing the low end response in the newer engine set up with two injectors per cylinder would be an issue in off-roading situations where torque output is required very low.
@@KripalAmannaVlogsyou are right kripal sir. Maruti Suzuki had the newer version of 1.5 lt engine that they are using in Brezza and Grand Vitara and it is mated to a 6 speed auto gearbox. It has less torque compared to the engine in Jimny.
Maruti has used the older engine mainly because Jimny is an offroader and has different use case compared to Brezza and Grand vitara
@@ashwinsh 🙌 thanks for clarifying. It makes sense.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Jimny with the 1.6 engine would have been great!
Can you blur your registration plate in the video?
I would love to have Grand vitara 4wd automatic transmission.
I feel Maruti people will soon appoint you as a brand ambassador of this vehicle ! :)
Jimny is a ok vehicle I feel it's a little under powered may be around 1800 CC would be good.
I thought you might have buy new gen skoda Octavia
Bought it yesterday.. Was driving mini countryman jcw before .. Jimny is Beautiful to look at.. but super under power.. I guess suzuki needs to add little bigger engine or 1.5 with turbo.
If this is for real, how can one compare a 60lac plus vehicle with this? two vehicles built for different purposes altogether!
While coming back, you can come through kaveri point, harur......good single track forest road. Then you reach karimangalam. From there 22 kilometers is krishnagiri. Enjoy the relatively cool weather.😂😂😂
I did that, came back through Bommidi Ghats, you'll see teh vlog next week.
Dear Mr. Ammana.... We are your fans for the food vlogs..... We all feel like, it's been very long, since we have seen new food vlogs...
We are just not interested in your bike and car driving episodes....

He speaks tamil like Sadguru!
Shallots are full on flavor
Oh.. Kripal speaks Tamil 😮 Sir you are like that decoction which bends well with Milk.
Does the 4 speed gear box hamper highway drives?
Have spoken about it in the vlog.
Sir which is that watch you’re wearing
Seamaster
@@KripalAmannaVlogs thanks 😊
Some bomb exploded in Rameshwaram cafe
What a strange combination mix,, have Coffee first and then have Vada sambar and then again have coffee.
Jimny is a really good vehicle and has outperformed Thar in many avenues.
True.
If 3 door is not introduced in India Jimny will no longer be market.
From where to where you went?
Bengaluru to Yercaud.
Why isnt Baba Sehgal not rapping anymore???
Sir students should watch your videos to learn English... it's so refined!!
looking at the way ur promoting jimny i wonder who paid for the car u or maruti 😃
Also no NVH during the vlog esp wen driving at 100
True.
Have you tinted your windows? 🤔
Nope, these are the UV coated windows that come in the top variant.
I was taken aback by the title, as I initially misinterpreted '200 KM' as '200 KM/H'
haha! would never!
Sir, can I know a little about your wrist watch?
it's a seamaster.
Sir
We will put a single turbo on this after a year should get at least 180 bhp 🤐😜🤣
😬😀 I'll probably need an extra fuel tank then!
@@KripalAmannaVlogs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😛😛😛😛😛😛
Kripal auto car show - third channel idea
What is irritating on Highways is trucks don't follow lane slow moving vehicles should take left lane but here no one follows it have cruise control is waste in India
I feel you, I tried to engage cruise control a couple of times, realised it was futile though.
Kripal take thar instead.. better option
I think perhaps you missed my last vlog which addressed your query: ua-cam.com/video/TD2S-KkBI7A/v-deo.html
@KripalAmannaVlogs yeah I was in hyd maybe I missed
@@VamsiKrishna-ls5fk do watch when you have some time and let me know your thoughts.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Aye Aye
Underpower and overpriced: Yes
Food vlogger to car reviewer...😂😂 short of restaurants???
It’s not an engine from GV,, GV IS A 3 cylinder, Jim is 4
Nope, both deploy a 1462 cc, 4 Cylinders Inline, 4 Valves/Cylinder, DOHC engine.
Usually I have see savoring T or coffee after eating BF .but this logic I don't Understand Sir.
I wouldn't call these rocks as mountains. I wouldn't eat food after coffee. Lastly even if you give me free I won't buy a maruti.
No wonder why Maruti gave you a massive and special discount for you Kripal😂😂😂
@ramakotaiahk7075 not at all! No insider trading here! ;-) Do take a look at my tweets where I have taken Maruti, Nexa and Kataria Auto to task for certain issues.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs sorry Kripal I didn't mean to say that you are now branding jimny... It was on a lighter note. Infact they should return all the money you paid them with the amount of advertising they getting through you... You are one of the very few Vloggers whom I follow with respect... Keep rocking and doing the good work you are doing.. 👍👍👍👍
@@ramakotaiahk7075 no worries at all. Appreciate your kind words. 🙏 And on a lighter note, I hope Suzuki is tuned in to your brilliant suggestion! 😀
Hi sir 🥰
Hi Kiran
@@KripalAmannaVlogs hope ur fine sir🥰
All well, thanks!
@@KripalAmannaVlogs hpy to know about it sir🥰
Jimmy is not at all the value for money car and uncomfortable seating for long journey.
It is so annoying to drive be it any car or ride a bike ,because of stupid irresponsible drivers who dont follow any kind of traffic rules or lane discipline .
One can clearly see ,how vehicles are going or drivers driving zig zag truck drivers using all 3 lanes .
No pleasure driving on Indian roads ,it is only stress driving .
Indians buy and use hi end variant costly model cars but majority dont know road discipline. PATHETIC ...😢
It's true, we can have the best roads, but unless mindsets change wrt civic responsibility when on the road... alas!
Jimny be(k)car hai, shouldn't have bought it. It's a flop product from Maruti. Rare but its true. They held back too long, its 6 years late in launching. Btw, I've only owned Maruti's in India, in Europe I had a BMW.
Sir why do you think it's not a good car? Did you take it on off road trips and it struggled there or broke down? Was it not capable enough to take those challenges? Or you also hate it like other people who hate it for being a car that it never promised to be? People buy it for a specific purpose which it delivers good enough.
@@ishowspeedy21 am with you on this.
@prasshantkumaarr7103 not with you on this.
The car is great for it purpose even if it's a non vfm vehicle but the car is should be used as a second or a third car , so it makes kripal sir ro choose this and yea it has few problems and lot of cost cutting but you tweak stuff with aftermarket fittings and even thar is overpriced and not vfm I will buy a thar as my 4th or 5th car not as a utility car yes thar wins in offroading but kripal sir bought it for it's utility
Your right about suzuki they can do better in india
