There are plenty of cars on the road today with 4X4 styling
and street-machine souls. But the Jimny is a genuine
cross-country vehicle.
The sturdy ladder-type frame is a solid foundation for serious
off-road performance. Its rigid 3-section design helps stabilise
the ride and absorb shock from the road. In combination with
eight body mounts, a smooth-running engine, and
comprehensive noise-reduction measures, the rigid frame
helps make the Jimny as quiet as a family saloon.
Rigid full-width axles provide a simple yet significant
advantage. When one wheel hits a bump, the wheel on
the other end of the axle is forced down, increasing
surface contact. The result is superior grip on any terrain. |
