I was lucky to spend an afternoon with the new Twisted Jimny Turbo. I wanted to see how it compared to my automatic 2019 Jimny. Specifically how it drives on road and motorways. I’ve written a blog on my website for anyone who might want to read an alternative perspective from someone who is not an expert on reviewing cars https://geordiejimny.com/twisted-jimny.
For a proper professional review video of the TWISTED JIMNY look no further than the man himself, Jonny Smith at The Late Brake Show https://youtu.be/fBl5KdAUezA?si=4FYeacF3nN7c_Frz

“We have engaged with engineers in Dubai, Japan and the UK to bring together a completed product which still feels Jimny but with attitude and refinement. It’s faster, quieter, safer and so much cooler.”
Charles Fawcett, founder and MD of Twisted.
Key points:
– 0-60 Is reduced by nearly half
– Cruising at 70mph is a breeze
– It’s quieter by over 50%
– It feels much more solid and composed
– It handles like a much bigger vehicle
As an owner of the automatic SZ5 Jimny for 3 years. I totally agree with these key points. It’s noticeably better than my modified Jimny and any others I’ve driven with various different upgraded suspension. Compared to how the stock Jimny drives it’s night and day! Check out my blog for more details.
– It can be parked in the smallest space & has a full load space for dogs, tools or adventure kit
– Sold as a commercial vehicle so fully VAT reclaimable and can be purchased by a business and benefit from capital allowances and super low benefit in kind, just like the Defender
Prices start from £49,500 plus VAT.
