Pocket SUV - Suzuki Jimny

In the era of the universal fashion for crossovers, real all-terrain vessels have become a museum rarity. Even among full-sized SUVs, there are almost no framework for frame machines with continuous bridges, and a compact such design is only one, Suzuki Jimny.
 
The car has been released since 1998, the updated version began to produce in 2005. In this year, a special Jimny Mode 3 series will be on with exclusive colors with new alloy wheels and improved upholstered seats.
 
Jimny Real Machine for Cross Area. A robust staircase frame is a solid basis of impressive off-road characteristics. Its rigid three-section structure ensures the stability of motion and shock absorption when overcoming irregularities. Eight body mounting pads, a smoothly operating engine, carefully worked with noise insulation and a rigid frame make Jimny to be quiet, like a family sedan. Wide continuous bridges guarantee a high level of suspension reliability in combination with good articulation. Highly efficient triend suspension, separate shock absorbers and springs increase the move of the suspension.
 
Jimny is simple both for professionals and beginners. Steering with a hydraulicer not only helps with sharp maneuvers, but also allows you to clearly keep the trajectory. The brakes are characterized by high efficiency: to stop, sufficiently pressing enough. Promotes manageability and compactness of the SUV. In the city, it facilitates maneuvering in a dense stream of cars and parking in a limited space. In the wooded terrain, when you have to make a breath between trees, the narrow body of Jimny also becomes an indisputable advantage. The car will confidently cope with all the obstacles due to the large corners of the lift and the congress and small skes.
 
The model is equipped with an engine with two camshafts, characterized by an instantaneous response to a gas pedal and high fuel efficiency. Easy, fully aluminum row 4-cylinder engine with liquid cooling easily gains maximum turns and gives a large torque. Multiple fuel injection MPI, consistently controlled ignition and exhaust gas recycling valve EGR with electronic control provide accurate driving.
 
On jimny, set a 5-speed mechanical or 4-speed automatic transmission. The transmission function on the machine allows you to increase fuel efficiency when driving at high speed. All-wheel drive transmission with a pneumatically controlled coupling of the front bridge connection makes it possible to switch 2WD and 4WD modes when driving, which means an instant reaction to the change in the road surface and weather conditions. In 4WD mode, you can select an increase or lower transmission.
 
The internal space of the car was developed on the basis of advanced studies in ergonomics, with their help the optimal location of the driver's workplace and controls was determined. A comfortable fit provides an excellent overview of the transport flow ahead and a clear feeling of the dimensions of the car. Quite large control devices, combined into a single unit, improve the perception of information, allowing the driver to not be distracted and focus on the road. Accelerator pedals, brakes and an improved gear lever contribute to optimal control. In addition, the equipment set includes an air conditioning system that creates a favorable microclimate inside the cabin.
 
Thanks to the rationally located seats, four adult passengers can comfortably accommodate in the car. Front chairs Jimny are made in sports style: large, ergonomic, with lateral support. Back seats there are separately, providing a place for baggage of different shapes and size. Landing and disembarking from the car due to widely opened doors, low threshold and passenger seat, fully shifted forward and forming free space from behind, does not cause difficulties. Pockets and niches for storing small things are successfully located in easily accessible places.
 
In addition, the model is characterized by a high level of active and passive safety. Excellent handling, overclocking and braking increase the speed of the driver's response in dangerous situations. Three-channel ABS with four sensors allows it to save control over the machine even in a complex setting. All seats are equipped with three-point ELR safety belts, and the front armchairs are additionally equipped with airbags and seat belt pretensioners. The structure of the body and frame is designed to absorb the energy of the front impact and its dissipation. Built-in protective bars of doors are also called upon to ensure the integrity of the cabin.
