Maruti Suzuki recently launched the Jimny SUV in India and the newly launched 5-door SUV has already bagged more than 31,000 bookings. Thanks to its high demand, the waiting period for the Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV stretches up to 8 months.

Coming to the prices, the Zeta trom level with manual transmission is priced at Rs 12.74 lakh (ex-showroom), whereas the top-spec Alpha variant with automatic gearbox is priced at Rs 15.05 lakh (ex-showroom).
