That’s because the NT model has to meet Kei size rules and the WT doesn’t.

Interesting vid. I assume the widetrack has the sway bar removed and possibly some suspension mods as that had a lot of flex for standard. Would be cool if the new Jim has a quick sway bar disconnect option from factory.

The narrow track vid behaves a lot more like a stock Jim with sway bar on.

For anyone interested, here is some offroad, non-publicity footage of the new jimny. Appears to be stock:

The traction control looks annoying- seems you have to completely lose traction and spin the tyres before it kicks in suddenly, almost violently.
Could be a bit shit in some tricky situations and sand.
Am curious what you experienced folk think?
I've been tempted to get back into a suzuki and think the new jimny looks like a pretty good compromise for most aspects of my life.

All TC in sand sucks. A switch hooked up to the required fuses is always best. Bought a the old jimny new and loved it. Did what it needed to do at that point in my life. The new one seems to fix all the issues the old one had in terms of infotainment and interior.

Suzuki can’t do traction control.
Subaru can’t do traction control.
Land Rover can.

I can’t think of a time that the TC on either of my jeeps has been an issue. Works really well.
However I would love to turn the ABS off

The GV 3 leaves it for dead only wheel spins half as mutch as the DMax
Mitsubishi triton not to bad
Land Rover is a bench mark

The JK TC in soft dunes is a real pain in the backside. But they are easy enough to hook a switch into the fuse or just pull the fuse.
