In this edition of Tug of War, we have Maruti Jimny 4×4 and a Toyota Hyryder AWD. While both these SUVs may seem different on the surface, but we must mention that these two are priced almost similarly and have an all-wheel drive configuration. However, the Jimny has a dedicated 4×4 system while the Hyryder has an all-wheel drive setup. This means that the Jimny is a hardcore off-roader and the Hyryder is a moderate off-roader. But the powertrain options on both these SUVs are the same. Let us check out who comes out on the top.

Jimny 4×4 vs Hyryder AWD Tug of War
This video comes from MRD Cars on YouTube. It captures the team with the two SUVs. They are tying them together from the rear using the tow hooks. In the first round, they decide to use the 4 x 2 configuration in the Jimny. The result was a stalemate. They did the tug of war again in the same configuration. Both cars refused to give up. Unfortunately, there was smoke coming out of the engine of the Jimny. That is when they decided to call off the race. Hence, there was no competition in the 4 x 4 set-up.

What We Think
Many YouTubers use tug of war as a common practice to determine a car’s power, but we want to emphasize that it’s not the ideal way to assess vehicle capabilities. In fact, such activities could cause long-term harm to the vehicles, impacting their mechanicals significantly. In the video, both cars emitted smoke, which might have been from the tyres or even the engine. Therefore, attempting such acts is not advisable if you care about your car’s well-being.
