5 key observations of my Maruti Jimny during a recent Konkan drive

The SUV is nearly 5 months old and has almost 6,000 km on the odometer.

BHPian bj96 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Not a review as enough has already been said about Jimny in this thread. Just a few moments captured from my recent ride to Konkan, and a couple of observations.

1. Small cabin and UV cut glasses helped auto climate AC, set at 25c, to keep us comfortable even at 44-45c ambient temperature in some sections e.g. near Mahad on the Goa Mumbai highway.
2. 12.9 km/l despite long ghat sections and the long weekend (city/toll) traffic.
3. Start/stop can be easily controlled by modulating foot pressure on the brake pedal. No need to turn it off using the switch.
4. Small footprint plus high GC meant we didn't sweat when Google directed us through the narrow lanes of Sangameswar bazaar and rural hilly terrains leading to Ganpatipule / Malgund.
5. Enough space and engine grunt for two adults and one 14-year-old plus their weekend luggage. Was easily able to maintain triple digits when roads permitted.

Delightful 5.7k kms on the odo so far (in ~4.5 months).
