Here’s A First Look At Maruti Jimny Base-Spec Automatic Variant
The off-roader can be had in two variants, both with the option of manual and automatic transmissions
- Write a comment
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is finally here and the marque probably has received close to 10,000 bookings for the off-roader already. The five-door Jimny is offered with a 105PS 1.5-litre petrol engine, coupled with five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmissions. Four-wheel drive (4WD) with a low range gearbox is standard here.
The Jimny can be opted in any of the two trims – Zeta and Alpha – on offer. While we’ve been seeing the top-spec Alpha variant since its Auto Expo debut, here’s a look at the base-spec Zeta, inside and out:
Exterior
Up front, you can see the chrome elements on the grille which are standard, but it gets halogen headlamps as opposed to the LED units on the top-spec Alpha variant. Even the headlamp washer and fog lamps are missing on the Zeta variant.

In profile, the Jimny’s base-spec variant can be identified easily thanks to the 15-inch steel wheels it has instead of alloys. The rear of this variant looks the same as the top one, but those with a keen eye will notice that the keyless entry button is missing here.
Interior
The all-black cabin here looks largely the same as the top-spec Alpha variant, minus some of the features. The Jimny Zeta variant gets a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which is smaller than the top-end’s nine-inch unit. It does get Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but the wireless connectivity is missing.
The base variant does not get cruise control button start-stop and auto AC, comforts which are available on the Alpha variant. On the plus side, the Jimny does get safety kit like six airbags, a rear parking camera, ESP, hill hold / descent control, and brake limited-slip differential as standard.
