UAZ Hunter vs. Suzuki Jimny: both with a side member frame and a pair of axles. You can count them on the fingers of one hand. And to make them cost less than an apartment in the Moscow region, there are only two left: UAZ Hunter and the new Suzuki Jimny. It is their maximum capabilities that we rushed to compare. Suzuki Jimny: 1.5 l engine, 105 hp, 4-speed automatic transmission UAZ Hunter: 2.7 l engine, 128 hp, 5-speed manual transmission Thanks to the Buzharovo Autodrom for help in preparing the material. Yes, let me remind you: Subscribe to our channel, vote for the Car of the Year 2020 and win a VOLKSWAGEN CARAVELLE: https://autogoda.ru/premiya/2020/main... Voting page for the Car of the Year 2020: https://autogoda.ru/cars/ To begin with, we wanted to take the new Hunter for a test drive, but in the factory version it is half the price of the Suzuki. Therefore, for a more honest comparison, we found a prepared Hunter, the creation of which cost a total of about 1.5 million rubles. Our Jimny is a little more expensive, however, if you take the basic version with mechanics, the price will be even lower than one and a half million. Of the non-factory goodies, slightly enlarged BFGoodrich tires were installed on the Suzuki Jimny. The body is covered with a transparent film, which protects the delicate Japanese paint from scratches by Russian branches. So in the search for a winner, we could practically not restrain ourselves in anything. Despite the similar price, the upgraded UAZ Hunter and Suzuki Jimny are completely different cars. Bringing the Japanese car to the Hunter's cross-country ability level will most likely double its price, but in return the driver will receive a significantly higher level of comfort and legendary reliability. In the meantime, Hunter remains an irreplaceable conqueror of Russian routes, still extremely ascetic, but affordable and repairable. The presenters on the video, as always, actively defended their cars: engineer Igor Sirin fought for the UAZ Hunter, and master of sports of international class Tatyana Eliseeva fought for the Suzuki Jimny. The author of the channel is Petr Menshikh, cameraman Evgeny Mikhalkevich. Want to see how our UAZ Hunter fought with the Range Rover Sport in an impassable forest?
