Review
Gonna start off by saying - the 2019 Jimny is a looker! Rugged yet simple design inspired by the Merc G-Wagen but executed in the Suzuki style. No doubts about the off-road capability as it has proper Off Road gearbox and all. It is using a naturally aspirated 1.5L which makes only 100bhp mated to a 4 speed automatic box. Performance on-road leaves a lot to be desired. Interior is spartan and utilitarian as it should be for an off-roader. Good for couples but anything more is a squeeze.
What I like
Rugged exterior looks.
Real off-road credentials.
What I do not like
Price - $114k?!?! What on earth were they thinking? Many nicer cars can be had for that price.
Outdated engine and gearbox.
Not very practical.

Review
I was really anticipating the launch of this car but when I knew of the price, I quickly turned away. 114k for a Jimny is really a ?!?!. That price I'll easily consider a Vezel hybrid, CHR or a VW Golf.
What I like
The ruggedness of its exterior.
What I do not like
The price and its outdated engine and interior.
