MARUTI
GYPSY
//Jimny Mr. Vijay
Higher ground clearance
of 210 mm ensures better off-road handling. Its diaphragm spring clutch is
designed to withstand higher rotational speeds and requires less release load,
thereby reducing the wear and tear of parts.
The engine is high on
thermal conductivity and heats up quickly even under extremely cold conditions.
Thus, there are no starting problems even in the midst of snow.
A 1300 cc petrol
engine, which is lighter than a diesel engine, results in a higher power to
weight ratio. This ensures better control, more power and greater
responsiveness, making for one of the raciest and the best petrol cars in
India.
The engine gives
maximum power of 80 bhp @ 6000 rpm which makes for easier crossings. For better
control, Gypsy comes with 4 wheel drive for better control and more power at
the wheel. A higher power to weight ratio of 0.0812 ensures faster acceleration
through streams and muddy terrain.
5-speed gearbox ensures
better highway mileage and allows high cruising speeds.
The engine avoids
overheating because its high thermal conductivity enables it to give off heat
much faster than other petrol cars.
Steering damper ensures
that shocks encountered from bumps and potholes are not passed on to the
steering wheel. Thus, any loss of control owing to unexpected obstacles is
avoided.
Maruti Suzuki Gypsy is
a lighter vehicle weighing in at 1020 kg (hard top) and 985 kg (soft top). This
major advantage makes it one of the best petrol cars in India on sandy or muddy
tracks. A heavier vehicle is bound to get stuck but the Gypsy keeps going.
