A Closer Look Between The Vw New Beetle And Suzuki Jimny
Compact cars running on the road have grown in numbers recently. This is because of the growing price of gas that people prefer to go for cars that are more fuel efficient. Yes there are already hybrid cars which run on electricity like Toyota Prius and Honda Insight but they are simply too expensive. Compact cars are better in many ways compared to hybrid cars. They are more affordable and more powerful at the same time. Not to mention that more automobile companies are manufacturing compact cars compared to hybrid cars. The production of the latter as of the moment is being monopolized by top car brands such as Toyota, VW, Honda, and BMW because they are the only few who have the technology to manufacture it. In the case of compact cars, there are a lot of models and brands as well as wider price ranges to choose from.
Under compact cars, two of the most popular are the VW New Beetle and Suzuki Jimny. These two look stylish and cool. The two of them are highly appropriate to make comparisons of because their sizes and prices do not differ much from each other. We might even assume that they are on a head to head battle as far as features are concerned considering their prices, but are they? How do really these two cars differ from each other? Which one is better? We will find out by examining their specifications.
The Volkswagen New Beetle is the successor of the legendary VW Beetle that became very famous for a long period of time in history. It is a very cute car that initiated the craving for a retro-futurist design. It still carries with it the old school body shape of its predecessor but with new features and technology already. Many cool changes have been done based on the motorcycle repair manuals for the New Beetle. It is now a front-wheel-drive vehicle because its engine is now located in front. There is also a convertible version available for the sporty types. In addition, it now has alloy wheels, air-conditioning, heated front seats, telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, and a CD/MP3 system accompanied by a satellite radio. If you want a higher ground clearance, there are also versions with bigger wheels and a spoiler on the rear. The engine of the New Beetle is also more powerful. It is a 2.5-liter five cylinder engine that can produce a maximum of 170 horsepower. The new beetle costs $18,690. The price could go higher up to $25,000 depending on the additional accessories or more expensive parts that you would add.
Meanwhile, Suzuki's latest generation of its Jimny compact car boasts of several interesting features. The key feature of the Jimny is being highly user friendly. It's built both for mild and rough road. Its power steering is very convenient for tight manoeuvres. It also has strong brakes on all 4 wheels and the disc brakes have a large diameter. Suzuki Company also installed an LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) on the Jimny to prevent the rear wheels to lock prematurely during sudden braking. This serves as a good safety precaution if the vehicle is fully loaded. However, there are not much interesting features in the interior of the Jimny. It is very ordinary in the inside just like other compact cars. The shape of the Jimny's face also creates a lot of air-drag during high speeds. It is not an aerodynamics type of vehicle unlike the New Beetle from VW. The Jimny costs around $17,000.
Comparing the two cars based on their features and prices, the VW New Beetle would be a better choice. It has already been tested and proven for a longer period of time compared to Jimny. Its far way more reliable compared to Jimny as far as durability and company's credibility are concerned. The New Beetle is more expensive than the Jimny by more than $1,000 dollar only but it surpasses the performance of the Jimny by far. Looks, aerodynamics, elegance, and legacy; name it and the New Beetle has it. The 1997 kawasaki vulcan 1500 tune up for the New Beetle also provides complete assistance and instructions to the user which are so easy to comprehend to even if you are a newbie in cars.
