✔Jimny Sierra lags behind the fuel efficiency of Suzuki "Ignis" and Toyota "Yaris Cross"
✔Boasts outstanding rough road running performance and robustness
In recent years, there are many compact cars equipped with hybrid systems, and such cars have achieved considerable fuel efficiency. Models with WLTC mode fuel consumption exceeding 30km/L are no longer uncommon.
However, the Jimny Sierra has a different standing position from a general compact car that assumes city use, and can be said to be a car that boasts excellent rough road running performance. It is a model that is useful in mountainous areas and heavy snowfall areas, and it is not a model that emphasizes fuel efficiency above all else, so there is no hybrid model in the lineup.
The powertrain has a lightweight and compact design, and adopts a 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder petrol engine that realizes powerful driving while also considering fuel efficiency . In September 2021, an idling stop system was added to 4AT vehicles and to 5MT vehicles in July 2022, which automatically stops the engine when stopped to reduce petrol consumption.

Jimny Sierra's WLTC mode catalog fuel economy is as follows.
Grade | Drive system | transmission | Catalog fuel efficiency (km/L) |
---|---|---|---|
JL/JC | 4WD | 4 AT | 14.3 |
5 MT | 15.4 |
According to the site " e fuel consumption " , which collects actual fuel consumption data for owners currently riding Jimny Sierra, the actual fuel consumption of Jimny Sierra (as of October 12, 2022) is as follows.
Grade | Drive system | transmission | Actual fuel consumption (km/L) |
---|---|---|---|
JL/JC | 4WD | 4 AT | 12.0 |
5 MT | 13.6 |
Catalog fuel efficiency is measured under a certain specified environment, but since actual fuel efficiency is affected by multiple factors such as the road environment and temperature, it is common to see a certain amount of deterioration compared to catalog fuel efficiency.
There is a slight difference in the Jimny Sierra, but it is not so big, so it can be said that it is within the allowable range.
Jimny Sierra's rivals include Suzuki Ignis and Toyota Yaris Cross . Here, let's compare the fuel efficiency of these two models and Jimny Sierra.
The Ignis is a crossover model that asserts its presence with its unique Suzuki-like exterior . In addition to being easy to drive thanks to its compact size and the high eye-point unique to an SUV, it also has the convenience of being able to handle everything from city riding to outdoor activities.
Ignis' WLTC mode catalog fuel efficiency is as follows. There is no difference in fuel consumption between grades.
Grade | Catalog fuel efficiency (km/L) |
---|---|
2WD | 19.8 |
4WD | 19.0 |
Ignis is equipped with a mild hybrid system in all cars, so it achieves lower fuel consumption than Jimny.
Toyota's compact SUV "Yari Cross" with a sophisticated urban design and solid running performance . Yaris Cross' hybrid vehicle catalog fuel economy is among the world's top levels (as of July 2022, according to Toyota research).
Yaris Cross WLTC mode catalog fuel efficiency is as follows.
Grade | Drive system | Catalog fuel efficiency (km/L) |
---|---|---|
X | 2WD | 20.2 |
4WD | 18.5 | |
G. | 2WD | 19.8 |
4WD | 18.2 | |
Z/Z “Adventure” | 2WD | 18.8 |
4WD | 17.4 | |
GR SPORT | 2WD | 17.6 |
Grade | Drive system | Catalog fuel efficiency (km/L) |
---|---|---|
X | 2WD | 30.8 |
4WD | 28.7 | |
G. | 2WD | 30.2 |
4WD | 28.1 | |
Z/Z “Adventure” | 2WD | 27.8 |
4WD | 26.0 | |
GR SPORT | 2WD | 25.0 |
Yaris Cross overwhelms the fuel efficiency of Jimny Sierra not only in hybrid vehicles, but also in petrol vehicles.
Jimny Sierra adopts the ladder frame, part-time 4WD, 3-link rigid axle suspension, etc. that are the traditions of the company's mini vehicle "Jimny", which is the base, and it has reliable steering stability and rough road running performance even in harsh environments. is characterized by its robustness .
In addition, it is equipped with functions such as "Brake LSD Traction Control" that improves escape performance when stuck in mud, etc., and "Hill Descent Control" that automatically controls the brakes on steep downhills to achieve constant speed driving.
Jimny Sierra can be said to be a full-fledged off-road vehicle that stoically pursues off-road performance. Although it lags behind its rivals in terms of fuel efficiency because it stands in a different position from compact SUVs that take into account low fuel consumption and daily usability, it is a model that has an appeal that cannot be replaced by other cars. Isn't it possible to say?
A: The engine installed in the Jimny Sierra is a 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder petrol engine, the drive system is 4WD only, and the transmission can be selected from 4AT and 5MT. WLTC mode catalog fuel consumption is 14.3km/L for 4AT car and 15.4km/L for 5MT car.
A: Actual fuel consumption of Jimny Sierra is 12.0km/L for 4AT car and 13.6km/L for 5MT car. The actual fuel consumption is affected by the driving environment and the weight of the luggage, so it is common for it to be worse than the catalog fuel consumption to some extent, and this tendency is also seen in the Jimny Sierra.
A: Compared to the compact SUV Suzuki "Ignis" and Toyota "Yaris Cross", the Jimny Sierra's catalog fuel consumption lags behind these two models.
