Problems like this is why I got a 2025 Suzuki Jimny XL. I don't need a computer on wheels, it has all the ingredients for disasters but people keep ignoring it. XL:

1. No firmware update,

2. No OTA updates, you get what you paid for;

3. No internet access;

The most important thing:

* Standard key (AU version), no keyless ignition!

As it stands now, any car that is keyless ignition can be stolen by OBD devices sold at eBay and AliExpress.

The newer the car, the worst. Toyota new cars in Australia are being stolen by drilling its passenger door which grants you access to the OBD located on the passenger side, hook the OBD device that cost less than AUD50 and you are driving an over AUD100k car away like you own it.

I am not even getting into cars systems have zero security, I remember watching in early 2000s, a hacker taking control of the reporter's car while on a highway and made the car stop. The reported had to change his underwear!! Things got a lot worse 25 years later.

Back to Jeep 4XE Hybrid cars, they are 2025 models and people bought it even after everything that is going on around Jeep. It is hard to blame only the company on this.


Sounds & looks AWESOME.

Me being in FREEDOM USA FREEDOM I cannot drive one of these as Suzuki isn't doing business here anymore .. since 2010.

Enjoy yours, though !!
