There have been numerous reports suggesting that Maruti is planning to launch the Jimny in India. It has also been reported that the 3-door version will be displayed at Nexa showrooms to gauge customer response.
However, we have been told that all speculations surrounding the Jimny are false. Maruti is working on a 5-door version which should be ready by 2022 or 2023, if everything goes according to plan.
At present, Maruti Suzuki is producing 1,200-1,500 units of the 3-door version per month. These are only for exports and Maruti has no intention of selling this version in India.
In the international market, the fourth-generation Jimny is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine which is paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic gearbox.
