Maruti Suzuki has finally commenced the production of the long-awaited Jimny SUV in India and the Indo-Japanese automaker is said to launch the upcoming off-road focussed SUV in June 2023.
At present, Maruti Suzuki has already bagged approximately 25,000 bookings for the Jimny SUV in India. This is despite the fact Maruti Suzuki increased the booking amount to Rs 25,000 for the SUV – Which is the highest for any Maruti Suzuki car.
Speaking about the Maruti Suzuki Jimny, the off-road SUV will be available as a 5-door model in India and it is said to be made available in two trim levels – Zeta and Alpha. Furthermore, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV will be available in both automatic and manual variants.
In terms of powertrain, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV will be powered by a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine. This engine in the Jimny SUV is expected to put out around 103bhp of peak power and 134.2Nm of peak torque.
In addition to that, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV can be specified with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, the SUV also comes equipped with Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro 4WD system that consists of a low-range gearbox for better off-roadability.
It is also worth mentioning that the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny is not a full-time four-wheel-drive SUV and it comes with 2WD-high, 4WD-high and 4WD-low modes, where the ‘low’ mode engages the low-range gearbox.
Coming to the features, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV is expected to feature auto headlamps, a large 9.0-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment unit, Arkayms audio system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, cruise control, climate control, keyless entry, alloy wheels, headlamp washers, and much more.
Furthermore, the production of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV is currently said to be capped at just 7,000 units per month. As such, we expect the waiting period for the SUV to hover around 3 to 6 months.
That being said, we expect Maruti Suzuki to price the base variant of the Jimny SUV under the Rs 10 lakh mark. This aggressive pricing will not only attract off-road enthusiasts and lifestyle buyers but it will also attract sub-4m SUV customers as well.
