Maruti Jimny is a lightweight off-roading SUV which often goes on adventure rides and rallies.
A latest incident showcases a Maruti Jimny in a rally where it rolls over twice and still manages to keep the occupant safe. What’s more impressive is that it was able to move after the crash as well. Now, off-roading enthusiasts love to take their Jimnys to hardcore excursions. In fact, in many places, official events are organized around some off-tarmac location. That is where vehicles like the Jimny feel at home. However, these can often be troublesome if the drivers are not experienced. Let us take a look at the specifics of this latest case.
Maruti Jimny Rolls Over Twice
The details of this case stem from jimnyxp and jimny.gang.india on Instagram. The visuals capture Jimny getting involved in a crash. The driver somehow accelerated the SUV while descending down a steep slope. As a result, the SUV toppled over. It flipped two times before landing on its tyres. Out of reflexes, the driver had kept the accelerator pedal pressed all this while. Hence, as soon as it landed on its tyres, the vehicle accelerated back to a relatively stable surface. That is when the team asked the driver to stop.
After securing the vehicle, the driver emerged without any visible injuries. It is miraculous how he was able to escape without even a scratch. The condition of Jimny’s exterior is okay apart from the dent on the roof, broken side step, bruised body and the deflated tyre. Still, a driver was able to drive it out of the location with relative ease. Thankfully, the damage to the SUV was not that severe. Hence, it was able to move out of the challenging slope. While we can’t draw any conclusions from this isolated incident, it still gives us an idea of the tough nature of the Maruti Jimny.
