Underneath its striking exterior, the Jimny 5-door is built on a sturdy ladder-on-frame chassis, making it an ideal choice for off-road excursions. Ladder chassis, typically constructed with steel, ensure exceptional durability albeit with added weight.

LED headlamps, automated climate control, auto headlamp, headlamp washer, dark green glass, electronic ORVM, steering-mounted controls, and an Arkamys sound system further enhance the driving experience.

Powering the Jimny is a 1.5-liter K15B smart hybrid petrol engine, renowned for its impressive fuel efficiency. The engine will be coupled with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed torque converter, catering to different driving preferences. The Suzuki AllGrip Pro 4×4 system equips the Jimny for outstanding off-road capabilities, delivering enhanced traction and stability on rough terrains. Additionally, the inclusion of locking differentials proves invaluable in navigating challenging obstacles and terrains.
In summary, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door presents an appealing proposition for those seeking an affordable yet capable off-road vehicle. With Maruti’s trusted reputation and a plethora of features, the Jimny is poised to capture the hearts of adventure enthusiasts across the country. The anticipated price range for the Jimny is expected to be between Rs. 11 lakhs and Rs. 13 lakhs (Ex-showroom), further adding to its appeal as a compelling choice in the market.
