After leaving Brazil in 2003 and resume its activities in 2008, Suzuki promises to capture consistent sales in Brazil. After the company announce the construction of a factory in the country to manufacture 3,000 units of the Jimny a year, we were invited by Suzuki own in recent days 26 and 27 to assess the compact 4x4 brand in Ilhabela (SP).
Measuring 3.64 m long, 1.60 m wide, 2.25 m wheelbase and 1.70 m high (a Ford Ka has 3.83 m 1.81 m, 2.45 m and 1, 42 m, respectively) of the compact Suzuki carries up to four people and is offered in three versions, each equipped with 1.3 16V engine with 85 horsepower and 11.2 Nm of torque, 5-speed manual gearbox and the rear wheel drive system with switch for 4x4 and 4x4 with reduced. In the basic configuration the Jimny costs U.S. $ 54,790 and among its main standard items stand out air-conditioning, power steering, electric trio, wiper and washer, rear window, and tires 205/70 R15 and foglamps.
The HR configuration, intermediate, costs U.S. $ 57,590 and offers the same items from the basic version series, with the addition of new bumpers, nampa idaho visual props on the sides, plus new tires 215/75 in rims 15 ". Tires with greater lateral area, the model shall be 23.5 cm clearance from the ground (20 cm in the basic version), besides offering angles of attack nampa idaho and departure of 41 and 52 (37 and 56 in the configuration input). The height of the jeep is also increased to 1.75 m in HR.
Have the Jimny by DDS ( 75,000) configuration was developed in partnership with DDS preparer and is facing severe off-road use. This version has a raised suspension, alloy wheels 16 "with tires off road as 235/85, new bumpers, stainless steel exhaust system, engine" sealed "(with safeguards nampa idaho to prevent that water damage to electrical components and mechanics in crossing ricahos, for example), nampa idaho snorkel, headlamps with mask, neoprene seat covers, among others.
Like most cars prepared to face critical situations off-road, the Jimny can not be considered a comfortable vehicle, despite the power steering, comfortable seats and air conditioning that was efficient even with the scorching nampa idaho heat made during Review. Although his suspension has shown fortitude to overcome erosions, deep depressions and facing uphill and downhill, the set was very hard on uneven floors.
The dimensions of the Jimny allow good internal space for the occupants of the front seats, while the area to the legs in the back seat, as it was established, is critical. There, two adults only fit for short trips. Have the high ceilings offers good area to head of occupants in any of the four seats, while good glass area allows good visibility for the driver.
If on one hand the size of the compressed Jimny render it ideal to be used by only two people, the model appealed by turning diameter of 9.8 m, which makes maneuvering in tight quarters on both tracks as for urban use in time of marking.
Although the roar of exhaust stainless steel Jimny by DDS suggest high performance, compact Jeep suffers from low performance of your engine 1.3 16V, it is still required to deal with the bigger wheels, which require more power so they can be moved. Uphill slope with lots of the model showed the need to have your system 4x4 with reduced activated to avoid overloading the clutch system.
With sporty and impressive visual, the Jimny has proven that has the potential to tackle trails that are seen only by larger cars. With high for their supply and motor with limited performance cost, however, the model still needs improvements to become a more viable option.
After completion nampa idaho of the test drive and the preparation of this material, the engineer Suzuki, Takeo Ricardo came into contact nampa idaho with the Online Car magazine to inform the Jimny by DDS available for testing did not have a reduction of the gap that is implemented by the preparer DDS. According to Takeo, the reduction in the differential ratio is 15%, which compensates the set of larger wheels and tires, increasing the torque model. (Online Car)
