Maruti Suzuki opened bookings for the Jimny 5-door in January this year. Since then, the carmaker has received over 31,000 orders and as a result, the waiting period now stretches up to 8 months.
The Maruti Jimny is available in two variants: Zeta and Alpha, with prices starting at Rs 12.74 lakh (ex-showroom). According to the company, most buyers are going for the Alpha MT variant.
Powering the Jimny is a 1.5-litre K-series engine which comes with Idle Start-Stop technology. The engine develops 103 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 134.2 Nm @ 4,000 rpm and is mated with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.
The Jimny is equipped with a 3-link rigid axle suspension and Suzuki's AllGrip Pro 4-wheel drive system with low-range transfer gear (4L mode). It also enables shifting from 2H two-wheel drive to 4H four-wheel drive on-the-fly.
