After breaking cover at the Auto Expo 2023, the 5-door Maruti Jimny is on track to go on sale. Although its price announcement is still a while away, the carmaker has begun series production of its upcoming off-roader. Maruti opened bookings for the SUV at the expo, and has bagged close to 25,000 pre-orders so far.

Production Model Details

The first unit to roll off the production line was finished in the Pearl Arctic White shade. It was the top-spec Alpha variant as it had front fog lamps and what appear to be the 15-inch alloy wheels.

Global Model With India-relevant Changes

Maruti Jimny

Although Suzuki has been offering the Jimny in a 3-door guise overseas for a long time, it was only at the 2023 Auto Expo that Maruti debuted the SUV’s new 5-door avatar. Its wheelbase was elongated for the additional set of doors and a usable boot, making it a whole lot more practical, especially for rear seat occupants.

Petrol-model Only

Maruti Jimny 1.5-litre petrol engine

Unlike its primary off-road rivals that come with a diesel heart option, the Jimny will be provided only with a 1.5-litre petrol engine (105PS/134Nm), mated to either 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. It will come with a 4-wheel drivetrain (4WD) as standard and a low-range transfer case for off-roading purposes.

Launch And Price Details
