The Suzuki Jimny off-roader SUV is one of the popular products from the Japanese automobile manufacturer in its home market. And, the demand for the SUV globally is so high that there's a waiting period of around 1.5 years. The Suzuki Jimny SUV can go anywhere, be it on-road or off-road, or even on water. Well, you heard that right! This is possible with the boat version of the Suzuki Jimny, which has been presented in great detail by Carfection in the YouTube video. The 11-minute video highlights the abilities of the amphibious vehicle that lets the driver take the vehicle literally anywhere, even on water.



The process of switching the four-wheel-drive to operating the jet seems easy on paper, but it requires an ample amount of experience and practice to get a hang of the same. An operator essentially pushes in the clutch and moves the levers. Once the amphibious vehicle is in the water, the power is controlled by the throttle pedal. So captaining this boat is very much like driving it down the street.



Suzuki Jimny 'Dutton Surf' Amphibious SUV is small and agile making it capable in the water. The company founder, Tim Dutton, has successfully completed two journeys on this amphibious SUV across the English Channel. It took him around six hours to complete the trip.
