Suzuki Jimny (Parallel Imported)

Outstanding rugged look but the letdown was the engine. Feels sluggish and heavy. Almost like driving my old version Suzuki Every. (The latest with turbo engine feels more eager then this Jimmy) Not sure why Champion not bring in the 1.4T version that offers a more aspirated drive. It would win more hearts what that configuration.

I was really anticipating the launch of this car but when I knew of the price, I quickly turned away. 114k for a Jimny is really a ?!?!. That price I'll easily consider a Vezel hybrid, CHR or a VW Golf.

Gonna start off by saying - the 2019 Jimny is a looker! Rugged yet simple design inspired by the Merc G-Wagen but executed in the Suzuki style. No doubts about the off-road capability as it has proper Off Road gearbox and all. It is using a naturally aspirated 1.5L which makes only 100bhp mated to a 4 speed automatic box. Performance on-road leaves a lot to be desired. Interior is spartan and utilitarian as it should be for an off-roader. Good for couples but anything more is a squeeze.
