- In this video we park a 3 door Jimny next to a 5 door Jimny and compare them side by side to see how much longer or different the 5 door is and we look at the cool new additions to the 5 door Jimny

Good comparison and attention to detail, answered a lot of my questions about the 5 door
If you can't fold the seats all the way it means you can't car camp inside. I love that I can sleep inside my jimny pretty comfortably, even with my partner. So this is a big draw back for me. Nice video.
Excellent review... I will most definitely get myself now the 5 door Jimny
Still, i like the 3-door Jimny.
Same and it's made in Japan not India. That there is reason enough to go for the 3 door. Plus the 5 door rear seats dont fold down flat. So you cant really do anything with that space .
Not true they do fold + they all made in India now 🙃
Check
@@G0tz They do fold but not completely flat like the three door and while India also produced the 3 door which is only for export, most 3 doors are made in Japan. I actually feel bad for people who bought Jimny and got an Indian made
Hope the aftermarket folk come up with a way to fold those rear seats flat as per the 3-door Jimny. The alternative might well be to remove the second row seats if more packing space is required.
Removing the rear seats is literally 2 mins job. There’s just one bolt which will come off and you can remove the seats and make it a flat bed literally. Used it a couple of times.
@@ajayvishvanathan1991aah!!
Have been looking for a video like this, you delivered, thanks ✨
finally saw one of these in person, honestly i didn't look any different whole moving apart from the obvious rear passenger doors.. definitely keen to get one in the near future!
I love your bumper
I like 3 doors jimny
5 door best
Exc comparison video thanks so much
One thing worth mentioning is that the 5-door GLX comes with 6 airbags while the 3-door only has 2 airbags.
Looks nice. It has the Hummer vibe to it.
The inside of the five door jimny looks very similar to the interior of the ignis, even the driver console, the center console is redesigned though. Probably they got the inspiration from that. I can tell because I have both cars.
6:11 I am 184 cm and I don't have this issue when I have the seat in front of me to my driving position in my 5-door, and I thought I had long femurs! Wow, dude! 😂 bless you.
Its also an i side joke between all of us on this channel, it all started when I couldn’t fit on a bus so I sat sideways for 300km’s 🤣, even if I could fit on the bus with my legs facing forward, my shoulders took up 1&1/2 seats 🤣
Very nice video! I just like the look of the 3 door more but I guess that's the case with all 3 door vs 5 door vehicles. 3 door look more unique Jimny whereas the 5-door looks a bit Jeep-ish (not necessarily a bad thing) from the side. 5 door just look a bit 'off' for me but with bigger wheels, like Optimus, the 5 door will look more the part & it will make up a bit in what it lost in the break-over angle for 4x4 purposes. Like you said, it will definitely be more practical space wise. Jealous of that better infotainment screen & it appears that you can turn of 'beeps' in the settings like seat belt out etc.
I wish to finally have it… but it is hard to get in Poland, plus the price isn’t competitive. But still, I love it and I’m thinking about getting it.
not having the rear seats fold into the floor seems like i'd go for the 3door
I see allot of Suzuki Grand Vitara JT series parts, door handles, rear boot light etc.
Thanks for this video, awesome comparison. Do you remember if the 5door comes fitted with speakers in the back?
The GLX comes fitted with front and rear speakers, the GL only the front speakers.
Nice comparison. I'm not sure if the extra space is worth it. The 3 door is perfect for me as it is.
The 3 door is awesome and Im enjoying mine also, its worth noting the 5 door is much easier to get into the back with the doors, and you can easily store 4 small to mid sized travel bags in that boot, it will work amazing for young families, and would work well for picking up and dropping off kids at school. It is more practical for a daily in city driver who regularly carries passengers and can be used on the weekend also to hit the trails
It'd be cool if Suzuki released a two door cab chassis on the 5 door chassis.
I bet it wont take long for people to start doing the chop after market.
Nice review, we've been test driving a few Jimnys. 3 door was to small. Did you think about waiting on the five door to come? That has been coming for a long time now and still not available in Australia. Ended up paying $5k more for a Nissan Warrior. I'll have always said Suzuki somehow. Should have got the SX4 motor into the Jimney
We liked the 5 door but personally the 3 door works perfectly for the application, to be honest, we only used the back seat twice since getting the car and now they are permanently folded down. Im making an aluminium trunk to replace the back seat, will keep all recovery gear in here.
A five door Jimny will be an awesome mall-crawler but I have my misgivings since people will now really load it up beyond the existing minuscule loading capacity of the Jimny. The Jimny concept worked exceptionally well since it was such a tiny car - merely that the market demanded four doors does not mean it was a good idea. I have been in the market for an overlanding vehicle for some time and where the Jimny was my first choice I might just settle for a 4x4 Isuzu pickup instead due to the almost four times greater loading capacity.
good
I could be wrong but I didnt notice any ceiling AC vents behind the 2 front seats which means its gonna be hot for all passengers on the second row....you know what I mean.
3 d00r is good to look
Hi, is the length of the front door larger for the 3 door compared to the new 5 door? Thanks
Hi, yes it is, one of the techs who works on Jimny’s confirmed this yesterday
The 5 doors not much heavier for the 1.5L but what if you use it for its intended purpose! Extra passengers and extra luggage might add up to another 200kg on top of the extra 100kg of weight the five door carries. It doesn't leave much room for mods like sliders, barwork or a roof platform if you want to set it up for 4WD trips. Really disappointed Suzuki couldn't give it a bit more power from factory..
What about the water wading capability of Jimny only being 300mm ? Is a snorkel proper remedy for it ?
I assume in stock form yes but on our Jimny Optimus, its much more
@@febuilds can you post the video link pls
@@indiaoverland2846 a snorkel itself is not enough, you need a diff breather kit, a snorkel and a certain mod on the air filter box. In some vehicles you also need a transmission breather kit, thats if you want to do it properly. Optimus can go through very deep water but its been modified for that. The vids of those mods are still coming?
@@febuilds do you guys put on sale those kits ? Do those kits ship to India? Thanx for replying to my queries
حسننا Good🌹🌷🌹🌷
What size are the tyres on blue jimny??
235/75 r15
How wide are these in metric please? are the really 1.70m? they look huge
They are not wide
1.645 m
@@BloodySweetBadass NO way they are less than 1750mm LOL
@@BloodySweetBadass those wheel flanges are probably 5cm on each side, so thats extra 10cm (non cabin admittedly)
@@chasx7062 yeah totally ignored it
isit available 3 doorjimny
5 door for me, half the price of a Mini Countryman.
What is the actual built quality on the 5 door sourced from India while the 3 door is from Japan…
From what I noticed, there not much of a difference, same exact parts, just assembled in a different factory.
They are building 5 door Jimnys in India but have over priced it to be competitive in the market and have refused to sell the 3 door. The launch seem to have completely flopped with people preferring to pay more for more capable alternatives or pay less for better budget options.
Gosh only 1,5 NA engine, No performance to overtake.. on the highway 😢
Needs a turbo
How tall are you bro?
We measured again after the video, between 1.85m-1.9m tall. We have an inside joke that i have a 50mm lift kit, but the truth is I battle to fit in many cars comfortably. The back of the 5 door is spacious for many people
10k sales is not a good figure. My opinion a ,3door version is better and have more fun For off roading
The 5 door in India has an Axle Wrapping problem, which the manufacturer weren’t able to pinpoint the cause of grinding noise while going steep uphill in 1st gear. The noise increases with time. The power is not enough. It feels sluggish in hills. In India this 5 door Jimny is a flop.
Thanks for this info. Will update the community on this side.
@@febuilds what we could guess is the problem with the longer wheel base. Rest I am also eagerly awaiting if people start coming up with this problem in due course of time and the solution to it. Regards
The looks of jimny vehicle is awesome, except the front views . The headlights parts and all. If wider look to headlights than everything would be perfect. Just as Thar it must have wider mascular looks. 👃
:) - forgetting to cover up the number plate in the title part of the video
Love your channel, I follow it
@@febuilds Thanks, good video. What do you think of the build quality of the 5 door (do your 3 doors come from Japan?). In the videos I have seen on the 5 doors I feel I have seen some build quality issues? In one there was a distinct lack of paint in the engine compartment. I know the paint is thin in this area but a red one they showed appeared to be almost completely white on the inner wings? Also some of the interior fitting looked poor although that could have been because they were Press Mules and had already had a hard life. I wonder when someone is going to manage to import one from South Africa to the UK - send us a red one in a shipping container please :)
@@bigjimny I was given an in depth look and time with the vehicle alone, couldn’t upload everything I recorded because it was just too much footage but I think build quality is very similar to the 3 door in terms of buttons, cluster. Literally the same car, just longer. Our FE Builds Jimny was from the Japan production line. I think time will tell with regard to build quality and market demand.
@@febuilds that's good to hear, thanks for replying
Why develop a car with 5 doors and still have 4 seats?
This cost $30k in our country. Don't you think this is too expensive for what it offers?
Only time will tell, the market determines the price
I cant fathom any way that this 5 door, weighing 100kg more than the 3 door variant, wouldn't benefit from an increase in engine power/torque. My wife has the 3 door and it feels underpowered, especially on an incline. Years back I had a diesel Swift, that engine would work a treat in the Jimny.
To be honest with you, i think that engine has enough power hidden in it. Our 3 door Jimny build weighs more than other 3 doors and its got bigger heavier tyres but I leave the the others behind. Just the exhaust mod with the proper tuning will suffice, to that if you change the gearing ratios, it may have a lower top speed but it will not struggle. I think suzuki may have to meet allot of regulations and safety standards while making the cars more reliable, while still keeping it affordable and I personally think thats the problem. As I hinted in the video, It would have been nice if it had more power. Other than that its a very nice car.
@@febuilds Thank you for the thoughtful reply. However you are telling me that the engine is not adequate, without tuning/mods. Why not get it right straight from the factory. It is a great little truck in 3/5 door guise. I wouldn't be making excuses for Suzuki, they could solve the engine problem quite easily.
@@robotstobor3388 just my thoughts, im sure suzuki have their reasons
@@febuilds of course, I'm sure I don't know more than you or Suzuki
The 5 door has no charm. all that's necessary to do is increase Lenght of 3 door to 4000Ccms and width to 1750 cms, and height remains the same. This would be an ideal small SUV for older drivers. I sometimes think the reviewers are trying to mislead Suzuki in favour of some other British odel
In my personal opinion, I think the 5 door Jimny gives young families with two kids access to the jimny world. Yes the 3 door could do that but in terms of the practicality of picking up the kids and dropping them off at school everyday, because of the back doors, it makes it easier than the driver having to get out fold the seat down, help the child to come out and then doing the same again after school. I think both are nice and the 5 door will bring in a group of people who always wanted a jimny but didn’t get one because of the practicality of every day use. Im my opinion this is a really cool/capable station wagon.. branded as a 5 door small off roader. I think they don’t intend to stop the 3 door, they are more just giving access to people who need 5 doors and really want a jimny
GREATEST MISTAKE BY SUZUKI BY INTRODUCING 5 DOOR VERSION IN INDIA. NOW IT IS MORE USED AS TAXI, WHICH PRIVATE USERS NOT AT ALL LIKE. IT WOULD BE BETTER IF MARUTHI SUZUKI INTRODUCE 3 DOOR VERSION RATTHER THA 5 DOOR. OTHERWISE MARUTHI HAS TO DEPEND UPON TAXI OWNERS OR FLEET OWNERS. SHIT ON YOUR IDEA.
Stupid comment from the fella in BOLD. Jimny already has sold 10k in India and there are many jimny enthusiast clubs. The 3 door is welcome but it's not coming anytime soon to India
Why will any taxi service use an over priced offroader with a bad fuel efficiency??
5 door was overpriced 😂😂😂😂😂😂
