Japan launch no later than Autumn 2022?!

Autumn in Japan starts Sep-Oct, might as well wait and release the 2023 model year. Then give Suzuki India another couple of years to decide.

This thread has been powered by hope and gossip.

Maruti has been promising the Jimny for more than a decade now. And with no confirmed news and no Indian mules spotted i wonder why we are still discussing this. lock this thread till there is an official confirmation from the company maybe? Till then it is just a gossip chamber.

What I feel is Maruti Suzuki should have launch the Jimny in India at the beginning of 2020 itself. By now, the 3 door Jimny would have either been a massive flop or a much loved cult/lifestyle vehicle paving the way for a extended wheelbase or 5 door Jimny.
But now, I have lost all hope.

The 5 door model looks ugly. Have come across a few 3 door models in person and they look cute .

Sharing those. I don’t like masked number plates but I think I better do, sorry for the poor job though. Different colours and interesting customizations, Enjoy! Ignore strong language in one of those.

Jimny development plans have changed quite a bit. It was initially planned to launch by end of 2021 and now as per the current scenario it can only be launched after Q3 2022.
Jimny mule isn't spoted yet because its in early development stage and proto is not yet built. You can see test mules after March 2022.

In 2022 Suzuki Jimny 3 door will get a face-lift and we will see the debut of the 5 door jimny!

Hey fellow bhpians, I had the good fortune of hiring the Jimny for over two weeks in Iceland last month. I drove it across various types of terrain over a distance of 4000 kms, spanning the length and breadth of the country. I’ve collected my thoughts and impressions of it in a video on my YouTube channel. Please do watch it if you’re interested, I’m sure some of you might find something of value in it!

I normally drive a Fortuner 1st gen from 2015, and have also owned the Gypsy, Thar and an 80 Series Landcruiser in the past, so it was a very interesting two weeks for me!

Hope you like it! 🙏☺️

Will be the 3 door Jimny.

Then the customers may not be those typical Maruti customers who rather go for conventional designs. This one could be a hot cake for Suzuki in India, may even take good numbers out of XUV700s, Thars etc. I guess after Swift this would be the true international model that comes to India from them.

Coming to Nexa as a lifestyle product, it will be factored in the business case in terms of volumes.

The 5 door variant is expected to come later which may do more volumes as a mainstream product.

Hi, I think you have made a professional grade review of the Jimny. Assuming that the same powerplant option will be available in India, I don't know what much is left to cover. Perhaps they may provide Climate control and a 7in Smart Studio since this car may be coming through the Nexa route.
