Jimny does not come in any of the Hybrid variants (mild and strong) and so it does not have any Lithium chemistry battery.

I think the Idle Start Stop will be from the 12V battery & the starter motor only.

I always think of the 360 degree camera as a safety specific feature. Not just a feature to enable easy parking.

If I go with the detail "Thick D-pillars and tailgate-mounted spare wheel restrict rearward visibility. Still, with the compact dimensions and the reverse parking sensors & camera, reversing is not a difficult affair".

Even thought the Jimny is compact in dimension, the way the seating position is designed vis a vis the body format, the driver rear and side awareness will always be compromised. Many things do not get seen in the IRVMs or ORVMs, or maybe the field of view of the reversing camera could be very specific.

In my society parking small children are always playing, lurking around cars. Odd chance you miss a beat and something tragic can happen in a instance.

What surprises me is why Maruti skipped this on the Jimny?

The AT will be make sense only for urban commuters and maybe highway users, because the gearing is very tall. For mountains/off-road/rural roads etc MT is the way to go. Personally, I never thought that I would buy a new MT vehicle if an AT was available. But having gotten used to a Petrol Thar with the latest gen ASIN 6-Speed AT, there is no way, I can live with this antiquated slush box 4-Speed AT that comes in the Jimny. Hence, I made an exception and booked the MT.

I came across these two intriguing Shashank Srivastava interviews. On watching I discovered a couple of interesting statements.

In the first one, he claims that the Jimny has the least turning radius! (Skip to 2:12)

In the second one, he reveals that they will try to price the 'premium car' a little short of INR 15 lakh mark(Skip to 4:50). While I really hope he meant the on-road price of the top end variant, its probably safe to assume that he was talking about the ex-showroom price.

Few posts earlier, someone was looking for the engine speed at 100Kmph for the Jimny with AT transmission. Apparently one channel has captured that. It’s 3000RPM
Navigate to 10min06seconds of the below video to checkout the same.

To all those who wants to check Jimny in Hyderabad, here is the schedule as shared by my RM. No conformation yet on the Forest green color yet, he is not even sure about that. I am expecting my delivery by June end.

Well the whole USP of the Jimny package seems to be its compactness within which the basic DNA of an offroader is imprinted. However appealing that could be to a selected group of enthusiasts, as your have rightly said, the figure of 15 Lakhs seems kind of appropriate if it is the on-road price for the top variant. Anything else, good luck to Maruti with their 'premium' pricing for the 'premium' vehicle!

Seems Maruti Suzuki jimny's launch has preponed to 5th June instead of 7th, at least below news article suggests so.

Twisted automotive modifies Suzuki Jimny with fancy leather interiors and a Turbo starting at $60k - any takers?

Maruti actually told that Jimny's launch will be in the first week of June...7th June is the worst case scenario we all are expecting :-)

Would this recommendation apply for newbie off-orders too? Or is it only for seasoned off-roaders like yourself?

Genuine question from a wannabe off-roader.

The AT is perfectly at home in Dehradun at least. We had no issues deiving around the hills, hairpins and winding roads either uphill or down.

I haven’t seen the 5 door version of the Jimny. However, I have seen the 3 door version and it looks to be very puny.

I wish, I had the comparative picture.

I have a stupid question about these gear ratios.
AFAIK, the gear ratios are dependent on size of gears inside the hardware whether its gbox or tcase. So in Jimny we see different ratios form transfer case (for 4L).. its lower 2.64 for AT compared to 2.0 on MT.

So can we assume that we can swap the AT models tcase on a MT Jimny to make it more capable crawler (Basically 2.64 ratio tcase on MT)? I am assuming this could be possible considering Jimny has divorced tcase so should be direct fit.

Also, do we have the differtials ratios for the Jimny?

I think the Jimny 5 door has to be compared with the upcoming 5 door Thar and not the 3 door. As it is extremely impractical to manage with a 3 door car for the mass.

The Scorpio N top end 4WD id priced at 32L on road Bangalore. The images of the 5 door Thar with the sunroof seems like will be priced at about 30L.

So 18-20L on road bangalore for the 5 door Jimny sounds fair considering the brezza,venue and others are around 17-18L.

Add a turbo charger and a few mods by spending 5L will still keep it way lower than the 5 door Thar.

Hello Vyasa!

Good to see a fellow KNOG here. Looks like we share the same interest in cars as well as bikes!
