For those thinking about Turbo in an offroader should remember that Turbo is for speeds!
Turbo was created for race cars back in 1962.
An offroader does not need to go fast. It's meant for entirely different purpose.
The high ground clearance design is not meant for speeds or the car will just topple and roll over at a slight flick of the steering wheel at high speeds.
(Google "moose test"- which is another test for cars apart from crash test)
Ironically, most of the cars in the current Indian market will fail miserably at "Moose test" due to the ongoing SUV design craze.

All race/sports cars have minimal ground clearance to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible so as to maintain stability. Civic had a GC of 135mm for the same reason.

SUVs and Off-roaders are designed for anything but speed.
The increased height keeps the centre-of-gravity high causing it prone to topple over.
Force Gurkha doesn't go fast either.
Gurkha's 2.6L engine (sourced from Mercedes) delivers just 90bhp but 250Nm of torque.

Please get a sedan if you're looking specifically for doing speeds.
Drive safe!✌️

V3 cars has become the most sensible Indian auto info channel on YT. gr8 review as always. info simple and good enough for all prospective buyers. on point.

[enigma]

At 2:42 it was quite coincidental that its chief rival as per Indian car buyer also came into the frame.

[soumil]

Its a 4WD car. Its made primarily for snow, mud, sand, river crossing, trails, mountains, offroad. Remember that

[travelthikaana]

Believe me Jagdev Kalsi is the best reviewer. I loved when you mentioned "it's not a promising combination for highway run".

[yoroptics]

I got to this video while browsing through Team-BHP. I really liked the content delivery, balanced and practical perspective in this video and ended up Subscribing. Do keep up the good work. Cheers.

[frontmate]

It's good that they are launching this with K15B engine, for which there are Turbo kits readily available ! 👍

[zudabenhur]

The most relevant and precise Jimny review. Period.

[arjitagarwal]

6th gear for highway in all varriants, 3 door also required for off road lovers.

manual is best instead of torque converter automatic

[RmS]

As always most practical and no nonsense review for the real end user to decide...😊

[asawaribadve]

Perfect review. Completely agree with you. We travel often to our other house in a rural area where road connectivity is not great and the Jimny handles those barely-there roads very well. I'm also happy with it as my primary city car. I should add that I'm also getting daily proof of the Jimny's off-roading capacity within the city itself due to massive potholes, waterlogging and generally terrible road conditions this monsoon 😅

[shreyas.kulkarni]

@2:42 "view out from the sides is also clear ...." --> was that thar 'out on the side' planted for this shot? :))

[VijaykumarMeti]

This is the review i was waiting for.
It's true it can be a secondary car for someone or for someone who has money. How often you'll go off-road driving in a regular middle class family, none. 😂

[iksvaku]

I always watch V3. This review was not as neutral as usual as it did not mention certain critical elements such as the overdrive button for the highway.

Hi,

I would like to upgrade to 215/75/R15 AT from the stock tires. Would this cause any difference in the overall performance of the vehicle.

Also I wanted to know that this being a new vehicle, would the wheel alignment post tire replacement be a difficult job ?

I just don’t want to have any unnecessary problems on a new vehicle. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It mesmerizes that people thought it would a great on highway. When the vehicle is made for offroad, known as "Mountain Goat", perfect for hilly areas, narrow roads..then why the hell do anyone drive it on Highways ?

Jimny is an offraod vehicle. Period

[sangramsinhtaware]

Jimmny is world class small SUV .it is true off roader. We shouldn't camper it to other family car. But we can enjoy it as a SUV as well as family car.

[nileshshah]

Class 🎉 allways informative, simple and practical. Great job.
