Thanks...Nice ride. What is the fuel consumption of this suv ?. I have seen few people mentioning on pakwheels that it's heavy on fuel. Have you checked??. Kindly offer you feedback.
Thanks

Frankly, I haven't checked it's mileage and still not used on long route or off road, but it's turbo feels powerful, I think my guess is 11 to 12 km. However I will use it on off-road and check it's real potential

MASHALLAH. @asifcae. Check this out bro. As said earlier in the other thread, if 3 door is an option, Jimny is love​ @capsat

[asifcae]

sir jimny is a good car but only issue is that its too small

with family it would not be suitable.... its an authentic offroader waisay... i was waiting for the next gen jimny but its toooo expensive .....

[capsat]

@consigliori such SUV are for single boys or for new married couple @abdul_basit007 @chall3ng3r 3 door jimny is not for seasoned nomads, I'd not suggest any KEI class SUV for @asifcae

[amlcomp18]

Thanks brother for liking jimny. Mashallah it's almost new. The thing I like most about jimny it looks very strong and rigid. I think it's equally good for small family. We are 03 family members.

Dear I respect your opinion, However as u know big 4*4 SUV are quite expensive. To satisfy the adventurous spirit in budget price, jimny is an ultimate choice. Do u know why I chose jimny. I saw a YouTube video where jimny was competing with ranger over autobiography which is quite expensive. Can u imagine, jimny won the competition and range rover was stuck in the mud.

God, how I love that jacked up Jimny with the sports exhaust, tall tires, offroading suspension. I would go for the 1300 though.

[asifcae]

not to take anything away from jimmy its a butiful vehicle and i love it as well but i have a family of 4.. my kids r growing and friends are also growing fat as they age hahahahahahah

so its not suitable coz of space.. rear seats are for kids only... but probably the biggest constraint is that when i travel with my friends for trekking there is huge amount of luggage which cannot be acomodated...

BTW ur Jimny is butiful and i think u got a good deal in this era....

[chall3ng3r]

Yes, the vehicle is too small. Good for 2 people and a kid max. However, its perfect for small family or singles. Doesn't take much space, maneuverable in tight routes and not too bad fuel economy.

@chall3ng3r has put it in perfect words. Jimny is a great off roader but is only suitable for 2 people max. Rear seat is horrible - no offence to my Jimny owner friends, in fact I was buying one back in 2016 but thanks to a few my Pakwheels friends that made me realise that a 3-door Jimny it is not for me, a person who has two fast growing up kids. Ended up buying a Suzuki Eacudo.

Thanks Asif for the comments. Alhamdulillah. This is my first 4*4. I had long dreamt for it. And also this is my first ever interaction on pakwheels. You guys are very informed and have superb technical knowledge. Insha'Allah when I go for my first off road trip I will share details with u guys

[amlcomp18]

Off course no offense. In present market conditions where dollar price is soaring. Just a Pakistani saying, kum paison may poora Maza Lena.

[asifcae]

yes this was my first dream as well buying the 1300 cc version but it never materialized...... may u have many happy journeys... although i have no knowledge of 4x4 vehicles but i know a lot abt northern areas and its jeep tracks... so u are welcome to ask me abt them if ur planning to go anywhere... also not only northern areas but also Punjab ....

[amlcomp18]

Thanks dear, my first 4*4 trip will be to Nanga parbat rupal face via tarishing. This is also my long pending dream. I need guidance and advice.

[asifcae]

well for that u can easily reach trashing from astore on ur jimny its not actually 4x4 track just ruf dirt road.... b4 that u can try ur hand at short track from rama meadow to rama lake....

a better option is to go to rattu and kalapani valley uptil dhirly lake on ur jeep...... more involved track would be in prashing valley but i dont recomend that on ur first ofrading trip....

[amlcomp18]

Can I go all the way to rupal valley after crossing glacier and beyond to polish base camp

[asifcae]

u mean on jeep??? no bro its a trek to polish BC. 3-4 hrs.... mayb rupal gain tak jeep track chala gia ho but still it would be a 2-3 hr hike.... in one day if u start at 7-8 am from trashing u can come back to trashing in evening

[waqasch1]

the last climb upto the glacier is demanding with few tight turns, be careful and very careful if its your 1st offroad session

you would need to consult locals before crossing the glacier as sometimes its soft and jeeps are advised not to cross it. I was stopped by locals and another Pw member tried a few days later n his jeeps one front tire submerged in the glacier and rescued with local help who filled the hole with stones so that the vehicle could come out, you can see here https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/t/tour-de-rama-trishing-ropal-minimerg-domail-hunza-khunjrab-pass-2-150km/247305/91
