New Jimny 2017 Tokyo Show

Here is a video of a lifted one with larger tires, looks like the brake LSD works

I wonder how the brake 'LSD' compares to the hardware version available for the rear? If the add-on LSD is expensive, wouldn't it be better to spend the extra and get a fully locking rear diff?

Nothing will ever beat a full locked diff that can be switched on/off, in offroad situations. But a brake-controlled lsd is way cheaper to make, and most people dont need more capability than that.

It's gonna be interesting to see how the stock axles holds up to the brake-lsd system, when the 30"+ guys starts to abuse it.

Dual lockers + HD axles are most likely still the way to go.

Once you get used to getting the rev range required to optimise the action it is very effective. I have had it on land rover (range rover) products for years, sometimes combined with a real locking diff and sometimes not. You have to give it enough revs to work with but not enough to overwhelm it.

Best examples to see it working are videos of discovery sports and Evoques which have this set up without locking diffs, but be aware most are fitted with road tyres so are often videod stuck

I thought brake assist LSD - ESP ‘All Grip Pro’ was standard ithe never than 2105 Jimnys.

Any expectations on the1.5’s 0-60 or more importantly 40-60 for overtaking Sunday drivers ?
