In the era of
new energy vehicles (NEVs), this 2015 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L AT JLX version, as a highly finished traditional internal combustion engine finished automobile, shows its value of not following the crowd with its unique hard-core small off-road vehicle positioning. As a personal first-hand source, this
New Cars maintains a rare pure car state, zero modification, and the maintenance record of the 4S shop is clear and reliable throughout the process, ensuring the excellent basic vehicle condition. Its core power comes from a 1.3-liter VVT all-aluminum engine. Although the maximum power is only 85 horsepower, it is equipped with a reliable 4-speed automatic transmission and a hard-core mechanical part-time four-wheel drive system (providing 2H, 4H, 4L modes), giving it an off-road confidence that goes beyond the paper data.
The most commendable thing about Jimny is its off-road gene of being small and capable of big things. The ultra-short body of 3685mm, with an ultra-high ground clearance of 190mm, a short front overhang design, an approach angle of up to 30 degrees and a departure angle of 46 degrees, makes it much more flexible and passable than ordinary urban SUVs when facing complex terrain, and can even challenge cross-axle terrain in its original state. The rear axle rigid axle and three-link suspension structure provide solid and reliable support. The factory-provided roll cage and LSD limited-slip differential, as well as a large number of retained physical buttons and mechanical handbrakes, all emphasize its mechanical reliability and durability in extreme environments. This is a tool born for real off-road.
Although it is positioned as a hard-core, its daily practicality is also worthy of recognition. The detachable rear seats can easily expand the loading space to 1135 liters to meet a variety of loading needs. What is even more rare is its excellent energy efficiency. The measured comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 5.4 liters, and the cruising range of one tank of fuel can reach about 600 kilometers. This is very efficient for a non-load-bearing body with a beam four-wheel drive vehicle. It not only satisfies the fun of off-road, but also takes into account the economy of urban commuting. This shows a unique advantage when compared with some new energy vehicles with higher energy consumption for long-distance crossing. The vehicle chassis is in good condition, without serious scratches, and has chassis armor protection, which provides a good foundation for subsequent use or light off-road. For off-road enthusiasts and modification players, this excellent and unmodified Jimny is undoubtedly an excellent original platform to unlock modification potential and create a personalized off-road weapon.
