Earlier this week, we had reported that Maruti is working on a 5-door Jimny for the Indian Market. Now, we have got some more information on the carmaker's plans.

The Jimny is codenamed YWD. As reported earlier, only the 5-door version will be made available for the domestic market. Drawings have been finalised and requests for quotations (RFQs) will be submitted to domestic suppliers within January 2021.
