Maruti Suzuki Jimny Long Term Review, January 2024 Report

I can’t stress it over and over again but I really love the Jimny. And the more miles I clock with it, the harder I fall for it.

This month I completed 10,000km with our Jimny & that means it’s time for a quick trip to the service station for an oil change. We will keep you posted on this.I have to say, though, that it stills works like a charm. The smoothness, performance, fuel efficiency, etc., everything has been very consistent.

For new years, I decided to take the Jimny for a small road trip to the hills of Kasauli, and on this occasion I had three of my cousins join me. Surprisingly, it was adequately comfortable for everyone and there was enough space, including the boot, for our weekend getaway. Two medium size strollers and a couple of small bags could fit without much shoving and squeezing. That said, the Jimny is strictly a four seater, since it’s a bit narrow.

While I’m head over heels in love with Jimny, there are a couple of things that I find quite annoying, and the seat belt reminder alarm for rear seat passengers tops the list in this regard. Last week, I had to fold the rear bench as I had carry some big boxes in the Jimny. And as soon as you take the rear seat-belts off, irrespective of someone sitting at the back or not, the alarm comes on. Now it is annoying as is but it’s even more baffling when the seats are not in use and are folded! Maruti really has to fix this. Sure, it’s a small thing but it does give you a major headache for atleast minute and a half. After that, the alarm gives up, thankfully.
