Suzuki Jimny has a major cult following across the globe for its remarkable off-road capability, simple design, and charming personality.
With India being among its biggest markets, the Japanese carmaker has decided to capitalize on Jimny’s popularity by launching a more practical version.
Late last year, an Instagram reel showed a camouflaged test unit of the little 5-door off-roader on the scenic roads of Ladakh. Now, Suzuki has officially unveiled the new Jimny variant to major applause from its lovers.
The Jimny 5-Door is 3,985 mm long, 1,645 mm wide, and 1,720 mm tall, and it has a wheelbase of 2,590 mm. It is 505 mm longer and its wheelbase is 340 mm longer than the three-door version. This means that it has more room for passengers or luggage.
It has a naturally-aspirated 1.5-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 101 horsepower (hp) and 130 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. The engine sends that power to the rear wheels or all four wheels (depending on the drive mode) via a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
Other features include:
- Two-wheel and four-wheel drive modes
- Limited slip differential
- Hill start assist
- Parking sensors
- Reverse Camera
- ABS Brakes
- Smart infotainment system
- 6 airbags
According to India’s CarDekho, the expected price of Suzuki Jimny is INR 1 million (PKR 2.8 million) and INR 1.2 million (PKR 3.3 million). The SUV is expected to reach the dealerships in March 2023.
