Weird Build Quality Test of Maruti Jimny
This short clip has been uploaded by Karan Kumar Cars on YouTube. The vlogger is showing real-life footage of Jimny. It is parked at the dealership as people arrive there to experience the lightweight off-roading SUV in the flesh. In a hilarious turn of events, one person is seen shaking the SUV from the side by holding it by the roof rails. Being a tall and lightweight SUV, it moves quite easily. One could hear the vlogger say that he feels that Jimny is lighter than Mahindra Thar and also knocks on the bonnet to prove his point.

While we understand that people test the build quality by pressing the body panels and banging the doors, etc, it is not the correct way to test the build quality of any car. There are designated authorities like Global NCAP, that are responsible for rewarding the cars with actual safety ratings. There are distinct tests in place that are designed to test all the aspects of a vehicle including the quality of the sheetmetal, load transfer during a collision, and active and passive safety equipment. We must be careful not to base our conclusions on videos like these but on official GNCAP ratings instead.

Specs
Jimny will come with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated K15B petrol powertrain generating 104.8 PS and 134.2 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine will be mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The main attraction of the Jimny will be its hardcore off-roading equipment including a locking differential and low-range transfer case. This technology is called Suzuki’s ALLGRIP PRO 4×4 system. The SUV will rival the likes of Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha, both of whose 5-door versions will be available soon.
