Jimny review [VIDEO]

Date: 05 Nov 2016

The Jimny is a Suzuki classic and Autotrader took it for a test drive. See what they thought of the car in their video review. The Jimny is definitely one of Suzuki’s most iconic cars.

The square profile first hit the streets in the 70s, and the much-loved third gen model was reviewed by Auto Trader for it’s driveability, rugged attitude and 4x4 capability.

We love the compact dimensions of this 4x4 (in the city, finding a parking spot is a breeze, and off-road, you’ll get between boulders and trees easily). With a great low range and great traction enhanced by excellent wheel articulation you’ll be amazed at the adventures the Jimny can take you on.

Watch the AutoTrader review for all the ins, outs, ups and downs.

Good day Rita, Thank you for your enquiry. As you might know, with most automatic vehicles, the driver has to press the brake pedal whilst the vehicle engine is switched on in order to move the gear selector from P (Park) to any other selection. The reason for this is to prevent any unintentional gear selection that might cause the vehicle to move. Eg. If a child attempts to move the selector from P (Park) to D (Drive). However, if the vehicle needs to move whilst the engine is not running or in an emergency, the Shift Lock button will release the lock and enable the selector to move from P (Park) to any of the selection options – in most cases N (Neutral) so that the vehicle can be moved when the engine is not running.
