Replied by Scimike on topic Jimny vs. Defender Off road - which is best?
I personally think they are very similar in performance off road, in a "green field" situation. By this I mean a location that's not been carved up by increasing vehicle clearance, it's then predominantly a battle between tyre size and ground clearance. In standard trim, in this world, the larger Land Rover will always have the advantage over the smaller Jimny.
In a "green field" situation they are much the same, one slightly better than the other in certain situations. I don't see disengaging 4x4 between surface's as an issue in the Jimny, it's a button press, and no different to my Series 2 Land Rover. The land rover also has the edge in low box, the Jimny is slightly too quick for some situations, but it's not a big issue, particularly if you favour "full speed ahead" obstacle navigation
