No, but here is a good Autocar UK review showing the Jimny's capabilities

If you are thinking of buying one you may want to take a look at this.

Hmm that's an interesting one ... how do other cars know a guard rail from a truck's rear end (cue Tesla)

fearandloathing:

 

any idea when they will be in the showrooms?

 

Call Suzuki and ask?

Hopefully something Suzuki will be able to fix fairly soon with a software update.  At least Suzuki design their vehicles with some thought unlike the old Lada Nivas.  (One of the worst features of the Lada was to have one windscreen washer bottle for the  windscreen and rear window.   Their 'genius' solution was to run plastic tubing all the way from the front of the Niva through the passenger cabin & eventually to the rear window.  Of course on the route to the rear window there were multiple opportunities for the plastic tube to be pinched or damaged!)

These look great! Very capable little vehicles as stock and even more so with a mild suspension lift and mud tires if that's your thing. Nice to see Suzuki sticking to solid axles all round. Short wheelbase makes for a pretty bumpy ride though.

josephhinvest: I freaking love the look of these little guys. The two tone blue one looks great. I would love one. Pretty sure they only have two seats in the rear unfortunately, like the Ignis(?)

Be interesting to see what the price is in NZ, probably more than the $20k odd for the current one. In the UK they are £15-17k.

Purely emotional purchase on my part! I took a second test drive this morning with my wife and put a deposit down for a white manual, expecting delivery in May / June. My first colour choice would have been the brisk blue metallic however according to the dealer this wont be available in NZ, reason unknown.

The road manners were better than the previous model imo, although we both noticed the solid axle short wheel base bounce at times. Nippy enough around town and easy to park. Open road cruising wasn't particularly noisy and there was still a bit left in the tank for overtaking. As an extra car for day fishing trips this will suit us just fine :)

I'm currently looking for a new car, though more in the crossover market. Do need something that will offroad well though for surf and snow trips...

Will probably go second hand, but did come across these while searching. Love the look of them, but if I were on the market for a brand new car the safety rating would probably put me off (small kids and all that)

(EDIT: Though interestingly it looks like children are safer in them than adults, if I'm reading this right? https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/suzuki/jimny/33370)
