Having grown up in a defence family, Gypsies were pretty much regular traffic everywhere I went. I've seen it being used for roles that no other car could ever dream of doing. The fleets were a mix of old and new vehicles. You can actually see almost every iteration of the gypsy still running about in camps. Bulletproof Reliability. Comfort was never an option but their off road capability is the stuff of legends. Also, daily driving one was known to be a good substitute for gym routines 😂
A Punjab Police officer, veteran of the insurgency (unfortunate time for Punjab), was quite nostalgic about the Gypsy. Could take it into the sugarcane fields, places where almost no other vehicle could go and if it would get stuck at any point, "4 lads could lift it up and out."
my grandfather worked in the government sector, he was given a gypsy. it was the very first car that made me love cars. i always loved riding around in it. later he got the hard top version with the 1.3 engine, i learned to drive on that. i currently have a bolero, but if i manage to save some more money, i would definitely find a gypsy again. its not comfortable, refined, or easy to drive, but it has its own vibe
I love the way Sirish gives review of the car. " 5 years and they did not have time to retune the engine" LOL. This was the best statement. I wish to go off road once with him.
There is no need to retune it to make it a high performance engine. Off-road and you need an extremely reliable rugged simple engine This fits the description
Sirish - your enthusiasm is so infectious!! I had two Gypsies - both with the "breadbox" hardtop - and with Hella additional lights fitted. I remember in the monsoon rains water coming out of places I didn't imagine water could get to in the windscreen frame and near the speakers. But I absolutely loved them both, though I found the original 410 was more reliable than the 413 "Gypsy King" (got one of the earliest ones). Spent most of the time in the mountains with them.
Review obviously will be the best because it is Sirish Sir's video but omg the editing....it is soo good. The sounds they added when the pictures change with that bg music....gave me goosebumps, specially when sir explains old iconic cars.
Great review as always, thank you! Memories of Gypsy! We had two gypsies in the family when I was growing up. Both were MG410s. The memories that I have are the amazing off road capabilities the Gypsy had, which is common to all who have sat in a Gypsy. But the special memories were the quietness of the engine where one had to prod the accelerator pedal at the signal just to make sure that the engine was running! Another not so nice memory was the petrol fumes that used to enter the cabin through the rear! Now they are gone with the new MPFI engine. I was a big fan of the Gypsy and always wanted to own my own Gypsy. So finally in 2018 I got a chance to buy on army disposal Gypsy in a good condition. Bought it from Bhopal and drove it down to Mumbai! I still have it. I feel that Jimmy cannot replace the Gypsy. It just does not have the charm that the Gypsy has. And don't forget the soft top which can be taken off and one can have lots of fun. You mentioned that the gearing is low, but I have hit 75 kmph in the second gear several times. To sum it up, Jimmy is a very capable off roader but not a replacement for Gypsy! Gypsy rules!
Gypsy=Memories of Rally Rally Rally all around Coimbatore,Still owning a 2018 brand new from Showroom with all Gizmos in Stock Condition and Enjoying it.Thanks to Sirish Sir for this Beautiful Vlog.
Tempted to buy now after your review. It's lot more practical than big SUVs on narrow hilly roads, and to get one out of trouble when 4*4 is really needed.
I have euro3 army auction gypsy, last week i have searched for the gearbox mounting, the price of the mounting hiked from rs 120 to 1100, the mgp dealer said the mounting of jimny and gypsy is same, after march 2023 new batch of gbmount comes with new Price!!!
Exactly its time for Jimny..i still remember when used to drive Gypsy i alws has to play accelarator so ti keep in idle. And yes the bump......gypsy and RX 100 these 2 legends in indian heart
Sirish - thank you! Your expertise, experience and enthusiasm are so contagious and refreshing change from the mechanical mono-tone reviews. You don’t care about being politically correct or to please the manufacturers and that’s what makes your reviews so real and easy to identify with. Loved every min of this 30 min video! Great job, keep it up. Really hit the ball out of the park with this one. Awesome!
Sirish sir, the wide grin you were wearing while talking about the Gypsy’s dashboard, I just loved it!!!! I just turned 21, donot yet have any memories with the gypsy, but will surely do soon. My first is gonna be a gypsy for sure. It’s the first love of a 6year old kid!!!❤❤ lovely video. Was smiling throughout!😊
This man started living his passion for vehicles way earlier when there was no trend at all in India... I still remember that fz review with its compititers on Sunday morning started with biryani 🤗
I was eagerly waiting for the Jimny in the Indian market. I had never wanted to buy a Maruti for the last few years but this is something that I wanna have for myself
Reminds me of my dads green govt gypsy that i fell in love with in kohima in 1986. I got a chance to drive one in chennai for about a year some time back and would look for odd mud patches or sand dunes or big construction sites to try out the 4 wheel drive!. Awesome vehicle. Sirish brought out every old boys dream to life...! Great review.
Sirish sir is just absolutely brilliant. He has given me dreams of going rallying as a side hobby other than my regular job. Oh, and thank him for the super obsession with The Gypsy he has imparted. Wish to do a proper stage with him some day
A well compiled video. They way the Jimny gobbled up the off-road obstacles had me impressed. And yes Sirish’ rally achievement deserves a special mention. Clocking the second fastest time to finish even after hitting so many roadblocks. Very impressive 👏👏
No review like Shirish’s. Awesome coverage of the key issues for a compact SUV. Good to see Suzuki had brought in the car without too many changes unlike their other ones, where they replaced strong bodies with tin cans.
Great fun review. When I was a kid in the 90s, if anyone asked me what case will you but when you grow up, it was always Gypsy. I guess that’s why my love for off-road cars is intrinsic.
What i understood from the t nail, gypsy is still more pleasing to the eye and better looking . Tho Jimny isn't bad at all. This is the best example of how you cannot go wrong with minimal , simple lines, circles and boxy shape.
Two in One Review! - The Gypsy and the Jimny. Beautiful Video.. Hats Off! The Jimny will rock the market in India, Only Tata and Mahindra can come close.
Excellent Review. Was waiting for this. You seem to be in love with the Gypsy more than anything else 😊. After owning 2 Gypsy Kings, I would say the Jimny is a perfect successor. If they price it well, I might think about it. Thar is good but the Jimny is light and nimble, same like the Gypsy.
Mazza a gya yaar I was so eagerly waiting for this review from sirish…but I think Lift kit longer coil and longer shock absorbers putting 235/75 BF Goodrich that’s all what is needed! better buy a zeta variant if it comes under 11 lakh and get the modification done and jimny is all set!
In 2005, When I was 10yrs I told my uncle oneday I'll get one gypsy. He laughed at me and said "You..? First see if you can get a car in your lifetime" considering my father financial position at that time. In 2024, I have Civic, Gurkha and a cute Nano in my garrage..❤😅
I have a 2014 Gypsy. And a new 2021 Thar. And I want a Jimny. Badly. It is heart over head. But one must be sensible.. Sirish. The Gypsy in its factory spec stock form with its stock nylon cross ply tyres, is perfectly Comfortable. It rides well. You have to use the right recommended tyre pressure of 20psi all round. The gear shift has that classic ‘rifle bolt’ ‘click’ action. Superb! Come and drive mine and see. It is only when the Gypsy gets lifted and people start fiddling with its physics with over sized tyres and all, that it loses its dynamics and comfort.
This is an absolutely stock Gypsy, no mods, proper tyre pressures. No matter what you do leaf springs can only deliver so much in terms of ride comfort
Awesome review Sirish , I had booked MT but after watching your review changed to AT. How is braking performance saw in other review that it's spongy. Earlier I booked MT as I can use gears as engine braking while driving downhill in south western ghats.
Review by Sirish is exemplary. I have seen several other reviews but this one is way ahead. The enthusiasm is infectious though I could not share much of the elequent praise for Gypsy. Coming back to Jimny, I guess there are few like me facing a dilemma, to buy or not. To a great extent this review would swing a 'for' decision subject to pricing of the car.
Loved this video. Excellent one 👍. Just one wish remained unfulfilled - wanted to see it go up an incline, an incline like the one where you did the downhill test.
I like Jimmy because of the compact size .. compact size is better for a small road especially in hilly area... ....Thar is little bit bigger for narrow and small road... JIMMY is on point 🔥🔥
Well done review from the perspective of an ardent Gypsy fan. Its a well built offroader that you can live with on a day to day basis. Obviously there are shortcomings in terms of space and a more powerful engine with a 6 speeds auto transmission would have done wonders; but the key point that remains to be seen is the crash performance of the shell. Hoping this is priced right.
Dude, at one point you will get to an obstacle that needs a locker, even if you’re Hari Singh… And on another more relevant note the locker will make it easier to deal with some tricky obstacles
Good review, I own a two door here in Australia. The one thing I’d disagree with you about is the gearbox, the auto has a hard time deciding what gear to be in, almost seems like an old auto gearbox. The manual is heavier than a swift but I feel it’s the pick, plus manual has better fuel efficiency. Good work on your review mate ❤
Hey, glad to hear you liked the video Ryan! And you have valid points there about the gearbox. However considering that the Jimny would be mostly driven in urban areas here, the AT makes more sense. The MT ofcourse is more engaging.
Wish some could mod it like Gypsy on exterior. Gypsy with timeless design is so soothing for eye till date. Awesome product from Maruti, unlike Maruti. SUVs are really raining in India, thanks to our bad roads
Would you pick the Jimny over a Mahindra Thar?
heck no
never, kei cars and proper off roaders together? please no.
Yes, if i have more city commute oriented and weekend fun preference. Otherwise, thar is still the off road king in India
Yes!!!!
Any day Jimny. Jimny is just too good.
I'll be honest. Sirish sir's review was the review i was waiting for most eagerly.
Absolutely🎉😂
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed such a detailed review of the Jimny!
The best of all compared to the other reviewers
Sirish is majorly missed at Overdrive, and I don't trust any other auto journalist apart from him.
Having grown up in a defence family, Gypsies were pretty much regular traffic everywhere I went. I've seen it being used for roles that no other car could ever dream of doing. The fleets were a mix of old and new vehicles. You can actually see almost every iteration of the gypsy still running about in camps. Bulletproof Reliability.

Only for real man😂😂
STILL GYPSY IS WAY COOLER.........JIMNY LOOKS LIKE A TOY........JUST MY OPINION
The OG!
Gypsy is cool
Gypsy have a charm jimny road presence is very poor
Drive both and experience the difference 😂
my grandfather worked in the government sector, he was given a gypsy. it was the very first car that made me love cars. i always loved riding around in it. later he got the hard top version with the 1.3 engine, i learned to drive on that. i currently have a bolero, but if i manage to save some more money, i would definitely find a gypsy again. its not comfortable, refined, or easy to drive, but it has its own vibe
Such a heartfelt story!
And yes, the Gypsy does have its own charm!
There will always be the true Gypsy “king”. Love your story mate, resonates with a lot of middle class family cars through the 80s and 90s
I love the way Sirish gives review of the car. " 5 years and they did not have time to retune the engine" LOL. This was the best statement. I wish to go off road once with him.
Anytime!
Careful what you wish for 😜
There is no need to retune it to make it a high performance engine.
Off-road and you need an extremely reliable rugged simple engine

Thank you! Impossible not to fall in love with the Gypsy but boy does it give you a solid workout
Every one of us has very fond memories of the Gypsy 😊
By far the best review on 2023 5 door Suzuki Jimny. No other review comes close to this one. Thank you for all your efforts the team has put in.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the love!

Memories of Gypsy! We had two gypsies in the family when I was growing up. Both were MG410s. The memories that I have are the amazing off road capabilities the Gypsy had, which is common to all who have sat in a Gypsy. But the special memories were the quietness of the engine where one had to prod the accelerator pedal at the signal just to make sure that the engine was running!

You mentioned that the gearing is low, but I have hit 75 kmph in the second gear several times.
To sum it up, Jimmy is a very capable off roader but not a replacement for Gypsy! Gypsy rules!
Do you think it is a worthy successor though?
@@evoIndia Yesss!
Lovely memories of the Gypsy, thanks for sharing. But let’s face it no way can we live (comfortably) with a Gypsy today. Jimny though…. As a daily 👍🏼

Kids who are new to the off-roading /adventure world won’t know what a beautiful machine this is!
Effortlessly capable off-road 💯
But the Jimny will introduce them to it, like the Gypsy did for us
Well I am not that new.
But gypsy is my favourite from years
Tempted to buy now after your review. It's lot more practical than big SUVs on narrow hilly roads, and to get one out of trouble when 4*4 is really needed.
And I’m here to tell you to listen to your heart

In my younger days my daily was an ambassador
I was eagerly waiting for the Jimny in the Indian market. I had never wanted to buy a Maruti for the last few years but this is something that I wanna have for myself

True to its name!
Evo India videos just brings a smile on my face!
Aye, and comments like this one make the team smile Thank you so much! Cheers.
Happy to see Gypsy more than Jimny...u showcased a Sep 2018 one, I have a Dec 2018 one :)...and that's indeed true...Gypsy just doesn't give up!
You can’t kill a Gypsy!
The OG!
Loved the entire video, loved the drone shot of you overtaking, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
That’s one of my fave rally shots!
That parting comments and the background track! Goosebumps

There are reviews and reviewers...then there is this guy OMG!! Your a legend SIRISH!!!

Grey color with some graphics one was looking the best

What i understood from the t nail, gypsy is still more pleasing to the eye and better looking . Tho Jimny isn't bad at all.
This is the best example of how you cannot go wrong with minimal , simple lines, circles and boxy shape.
We agree 💯
Classic lines 👍🏼
Gypsy Officers Car! This 85 car of my age is still running smooth.
What a solid car it is
Brilliant one, Sirish! Enjoyed the juxtapositioning of the Gypsy and the Jimmy!
Thanks Ajay
From South Africa....very good review!
I’m sure it’s headed your way soon too
When an expert like you reviews something, it becomes a sumptuous treat for any automobile enthusiasts. Wonderfully done Sir.
Good review and presentation
Thank you
Thanks!
Sirish the saviour of evo india 🇮🇳
😁✌️🙏
Have seen a ton of reviews since yesterday but this by far is the best Jimny review
Thanks man
Two in One Review! - The Gypsy and the Jimny. Beautiful Video.. Hats Off! The Jimny will rock the market in India, Only Tata and Mahindra can come close.
Gypsy may be a old car but the attraction from people you get when you drive it on the road is awesome. It's truly an eye catcher ❤
Your reviews are the best, was looking and hyped for Jimny's review from evo India for long loved it
Thank you
Love the cinematography on this video! Exceptionally good and Sirish sir's review is just so fun to watch and lights up a smile on the face.
@marutisuzuki should do white tops for hot climates like in India.
Good suggestion!
Air-con works well 👍🏼
It's good that they are launching this with K15B engine, for which there are Turbo kits readily available ! 👍
You have a damn good point Vijay
Excellent Review. Was waiting for this. You seem to be in love with the Gypsy more than anything else 😊. After owning 2 Gypsy Kings, I would say the Jimny is a perfect successor. If they price it well, I might think about it. Thar is good but the Jimny is light and nimble, same like the Gypsy.
Thank you and we agree!
Jimny will sell like hot cakes…
Is that a tachometer from Ritz in the Gypsy? If its that, it really won my heart. ❤
Everyone loves gypsy now... but how many of them bought a civilian gypsy out of a showroom...
Both are best offroaders around...❤
Reminds me of your road test articles in overdrive a long time back
Thanks!
probably the best Jimny review on internet... Sirish is a legend.
Just like the Gypsy? ;)
I like Shirish presentation so much no worry about like button
😂🙏🙏🙏
became a fan of speedo cluster
Me too
I like the thought process, information and delivery of both. Well prepared review Sirish.
Mazza a gya yaar I was so eagerly waiting for this review from sirish…but I think Lift kit longer coil and longer shock absorbers putting 235/75 BF Goodrich that’s all what is needed! better buy a zeta variant if it comes under 11 lakh and get the modification done and jimny is all set!
Absolutely agreeeed ❤
There's already a plan in place there!
True true
I too dislike the chrome inserts in the grille, looks tacky to me.
A lot of people are going to go to town with aftermarket mods for the Jimny!
💯
In 2005, When I was 10yrs I told my uncle oneday I'll get one gypsy. He laughed at me and said "You..? First see if you can get a car in your lifetime" considering my father financial position at that time.

I have a 2014 Gypsy. And a new 2021 Thar. And I want a Jimny. Badly. It is heart over head. But one must be sensible..
Sirish. The Gypsy in its factory spec stock form with its stock nylon cross ply tyres, is perfectly
Comfortable. It rides well. You have to use the right recommended tyre pressure of 20psi all round. The gear shift has that classic ‘rifle bolt’ ‘click’ action. Superb! Come and drive mine and see. It is only when the Gypsy gets lifted and people start fiddling with its physics with over sized tyres and all, that it loses its dynamics and comfort.
That's a rare stock Gypsy! But we agree. Most of the time, you don't need the mods.
This is an absolutely stock Gypsy, no mods, proper tyre pressures. No matter what you do leaf springs can only deliver so much in terms of ride comfort
@@sirishch come along to Bangalore and test my Gypsy. Quite honestly you’ll be surprised.
Now that’s how you do a review

Awesome review Sirish , I had booked MT but after watching your review changed to AT. How is braking performance saw in other review that it's spongy. Earlier I booked MT as I can use gears as engine braking while driving downhill in south western ghats.
Good choice to switch to AT. Brakes seemed good on this drive
Excellent review Shrish,U hv done very differently & uniquely 👍

Loved this video. Excellent one 👍. Just one wish remained unfulfilled - wanted to see it go up an incline, an incline like the one where you did the downhill test.
Was a privilege sitting alongside for the SS3 at the Media Drive. Although we had to focus more on the trail over the rock beds 😂

Looks ok to me. But yeah Gypsy is v cool

1) power windows
2) 4WD
3)AC
4) central locking
5) High ground clearance
Rest should be as basic as gypsy
Which will be better and practical between ignis and jimny for family of four for mild off-road r
Ignis won’t do any off-roading. Mild or otherwise
@@sirishch Many Thanks for the reply 🙏
Ignis is Front wheel drive which is worst for off roading get a 4wd off-road car like jimny 🔥
Nice review. Off-road awesome..
How would you rate automatic's 100 kmph cruise ability? What is RPM? Is overtaking easy?
100kmph cruise is good. Overtaking not so good
@@sirishch Have you driven yourself? I think with the OD button, it might be ok.
One question I really have is what is RPM at 100 KMPH for Jimny A/T?
'Mountain Goat' from SUZUKI. isn't it?
Absolutely!
💯
rear locker ? Thats a super light vehicle man! it doesn't need it. off-road skill matter bro
Rear locker ?? Are u talkin Abt Diffs
Dude, at one point you will get to an obstacle that needs a locker, even if you’re Hari Singh…
And on another more relevant note the locker will make it easier to deal with some tricky obstacles
