Cheers Roger much appreciated, as you know I am big Suzuki fan especially the Jimny, I have been following this debut for the last year on the Bigjimny forum, it's a great looking 4x4, with real off road abilities. It has a slightly larger engine at 1500cc rather than the 1300cc. Power is up by 20Nm to 130Nm. Towing capacity is the same @ 1300kg and 75kg nose weight. I would get one in a heart beat but my current vitara has 320Nm torque and it pulls the Familia like a train . I believe that the new 1500cc engine delivers its torque lower down so it may be less asthmatic than the 1300cc. I may have to hire a man with a red flag to walk in front if I get one..
This video is one of the better ones, most journalist's have been using an off road centre in Germany which is challenging but not damaging. This Italian journalist has gone off piste and given it a good ragging and really shows the new Jimny at is best, its in Italian but actions speak louder than words...
