Maruti Suzuki Jimny: 3150 km in 13 days - Impressions after a long trip

About the Jimny - We drove the car to Pune, Lonavala, to Noida from Mumbai and then to Doon and back. It cruised at 100 kmph whenever needed.

I have owned the Jimny Alpha AT for 13 days now and have covered 3150 KMs. Have got tons of accessories for the car from Harman Impex @ Mumbai. While most were direct fit, the grill was installed by Maruti SC. I cannot compare the swapped Bridgestone 215 ATs with stock since I hardly drove the car on stock tyres. Pretty satisfied with the tyre upgrade. One of the best accessory that we got from Maruti was floor lamination, I was under the impression that it will be some cheap transparent plastic but no, its very neatly done with good quality plastic material. 

About the Jimny - We drove the car to Pune, Lonavala, to Noida from Mumbai and then to Doon and back. It cruised at 100 kmph whenever needed. It picks up speed decently till 90 kmph, post that it takes 3 business day for the car to respond to throttle input . I have been driving turbo petrols till now, but had my expectations aligned so no disappointment as far as power delivery is concerned. For cross country trips with good roads, Slavia will continue to be our choice.

Positives: MH roads gave enough opportunity to test the ride quality of the car, it’s just amazing. For once, I was very happy to drive on NH48 between Mumbai and Talsari. AC is a chiller. Brakes are sharp. Headlights are impressive on Alpha.

Some pictures from the trips:
