I have owned the Jimny Alpha AT for 13 days now and have covered 3150 KMs. Have got tons of accessories for the car from Harman Impex @ Mumbai. While most were direct fit, the grill was installed by Maruti SC. I cannot compare the swapped Bridgestone 215 ATs with stock since I hardly drove the car on stock tyres. Pretty satisfied with the tyre upgrade. One of the best accessory that we got from Maruti was floor lamination, I was under the impression that it will be some cheap transparent plastic but no, its very neatly done with good quality plastic material.

About the Jimny - We drove the car to Pune, Lonavala, to Noida from Mumbai and then to Doon and back. It cruised at 100 kmph whenever needed. It picks up speed decently till 90 kmph, post that it takes 3 business day for the car to respond to throttle input . I have been driving turbo petrols till now, but had my expectations aligned so no disappointment as far as power delivery is concerned. For cross country trips with good roads, Slavia will continue to be our choice.

Positives: MH roads gave enough opportunity to test the ride quality of the car, it’s just amazing. For once, I was very happy to drive on NH48 between Mumbai and Talsari. AC is a chiller. Brakes are sharp. Headlights are impressive on Alpha.

Some pictures from the trips:

Also, I Finally convinced my dad to take a test drive of the Jimny! Any tips on how to impress a typical Indian dad with the Jimny?

Just take your father on a test drive on pot hole filled road, some roads with rough patches, then some non metallic roads. After that do a highway run.

Explain the ground clearance, also how the interiors work both for a off road & on road vehicle. The running costs and simple maintenance on the Jimny.

Before the test drive show him lots of nice photos of Jimny's from the net including from India, and also explain in great detail the Jimny legacy.

All Indian Dads have egos ......pump it fully....how good he will look sitting in the Jimny, how cute it will look parked in the driveway etc. etc......whatever works ....

If all this does not work concede defeat

A compact, go anywhere, do anything vehicle with 4x4 hardware with reasonable safety and practicality available at or near rock bottom price of 13-14 lakhs all inclusive in Bangalore for the top variant automatic transmission- what else we can ask for.

Jimny is unstoppable, Jimny is one of safest vehicle from MSIL. What else do you need to convince him

Jimny is a full "Paisa wasool" car at the present price level with maximum possible discount, even if you get the chance to engage 4H or 4L once or twice yearly. There is no petrol automatic AWD available in India at less than 20 Lakhs.

Thank you for sharing this news. Went to Nexa showroom and booked Alpha AMT variant today. Total discount on offer is 3.3lakhs if you take Maruti Finance. Now waiting eagerly for my mountain goat to arrive.

Thank You guys! Contacted Kalyani Motors JP Nagar and booked a TD of AT as MT wasn't available. One of the executives said the discount is 2.5l and applicable only if 'delivered' before the 15th of July, which I guess is a marketing gimmick. Let's see, I'll let you know if it goes well.

On Alpha AT, the discount is 1.50L + another 1.0L if financed from Maruti.
Scheme is valid only if billing is done by15th July. This means you should select a variant and color that the dealer can arrange by that time.

Fortunately, for Delhi NCR dealers, Maruti stockyard is close-by so they order from Maruti stockyard.

I got mine delivered yesterday.

From what I've read or seen, the offer is of 1.5L plus 1.8L for Alpha AT atleast here at my place. For Zeta AT, it is 1.75L plus 1L.

Hi,
Congrats on your booking.

Meanwhile if possible can you kindly share the final quote you got? Mentioning discount/price breakup?
One of my friend is planning to book a Jimny. So it will be helpful for him to understand the pricing and then negotiate.

Thanks in advance,

Thank you, The quote we got was 14.17 lacs for Dual tone Alpha MT with only selected accessories like mats and body cladding.
Didn't get a proper quote in a receipt and we didn't even bother to ask (We didn't know we would book that 2 hours ago) anyways

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply, much helpful.

Few dealerships we checked offered only 2.5 lak overall.
While few others quoted 3.3 lak discount, with further 10-15k worth accesories possible on negotiation.
So just wanted to confirm what exactly is the current norm in Bangalore.

So, it looks like you have managed to get your Alpha MT DT at 4.17 lak! (Actual onroad for Alpha MT DT is 17.7?)
So that makes it ~3.5L discounted onroad. It's surely worth it for this price.

Congrats again. Wishing you a happy ownership

Regards,

1.5 lac discount is for choosing Maruti finance and you can close that after 1 year without foreclosure penalty.

A very good long term Jimny ownership review from Motoroids done by fellow BHP'-ian @gsferrari a.k.a Guru.
Balanced, to the point and brings out all the ills plaguing the Jimny.
Guru has rightfully brought up and discussed the Jimny pricing debacle and the way Maruti "yo-yo-ing" the Jimny's price every month.
Worth a watch:

Congrats. I am planning to book Jimny too. Already got the quote for both Alph and Zeta.

However does anyone know the exact price of Extended warranty?
I got quote of Rs 35505 for EW (which also add some CCS program from Maruti) So not sure if this makes sense?

Also Insurance quote is 51449 which is definitely on higher side!

This will be replacement for my tiago - though I may end up with 3 cars temporarily !
