The five-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2023, and bookings for the compact off-roader started at the time of its announcement. This is Maruti Suzuki’s first pure four-wheel-drive SUV in recent years and serves as the successor to the legendary Gypsy.

The Indian car market is receiving the five-door version of the Jimny, which is essentially an extended wheelbase version of the three-door Jimny already available overseas. The Jimny boasts an upright and boxy design with a new-retro aesthetic. Its exterior features include LED projector headlamps with headlamp washers, a tailgate-mounted spare wheel, and 15-inch gunmetal alloy wheels.

Gets functional and feature-rich cabin

Inside the Maruti Suzuki Jimny, the cabin follows an all-black theme. In the top-spec Alpha version, the Jimny is equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, a push start-stop button, electrically adjustable and foldable rearview mirrors, and steering-mounted audio, Bluetooth, and cruise controls. In terms of safety, the Jimny comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, hill start assist, hill descent control, electronic stability control, traction control, reverse parking sensors, and a camera.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny offers a single powertrain option—a 1.5-litre four-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power output of 104.8 PS and a maximum torque output of 134.2 Nm. The manual versions claim a fuel efficiency of 16.94 kmpl, while the automatic variants promise 16.39 kmpl. Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro four-wheel-drive system is standard across all variants.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is available in five monotone color options—Bluish Black, Sizzling Red, Granite Grey, Nexa Blue, and Pearl Arctic White. Additionally, two dual-tone color options—Sizzling Red with Bluish Black Roof and Kinetic Yellow with Bluish Black Roof—are available as options, but only in the Alpha variant.

With these prices, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny directly competes with the petrol-powered versions of the Mahindra Thar, which is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, boasting a maximum power of 150 PS and a maximum torque output of 320 Nm.
