Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door makes debut at Auto Expo 2023

Maruti Suzuki further strengthens its SUV line-up with the launch of the all-new Jimny 5-door at the Auto Expo 2023. Along with it the company has also showcased the Fronx compact SUV at the auto show.

The JIMNY carries the 50 year-strong heritage of Suzuki’s off-road acumen. The much-awaited legendary offroader JIMNY will attract passionate & professional off-roaders, and SUV customers alike.

JIMNY which was originally launched in global markets in 1970, has been breaking stereotypes the world over thanks to its unique design and all terrain capability, powered by Suzuki’s ALLGRIP PRO (4WD) technology.

The JIMNY 5-door makes its debut and will be introduced in India first, followed by Suzuki’s global markets. The JIMNY is built on the 4 essentials of an off-road machine – Ladder Frame Chassis, Ample Body Angles, 3-link rigid axle suspension and ALLGRIP PRO (4WD) with low range transfer gear (4L mode). ALLGRIP PRO offers extreme off-road ability to meet the driver’s spirit of adventure.

Carrying forward its strong legacy of over 50 years of global success, the JIMNY is meant to go deeper, higher and farther. An off-road machine built for purpose, the JIMNY is developed to navigate treacherous terrains, manoeuvre through dense woods, and conquer the toughest terrains with ease. Additionally, it offers a comfortable ride as a daily driver.

The JIMNY is beautifully conceptualized with ‘Purity of Function’, both the exteriors and the interiors are designed in a naturally intuitive manner to optimize functionality. The globally renowned SUV comes equipped with all the necessary technologies that offers a solid foundation for exemplary all-round performance.

Built for Purpose:

With a body-on-frame design, the rugged JIMNY provides a sense of solidity offering a unique experience.  Its squared body proportions instil a sense of confidence and gives the driver better visibility of the surroundings especially on treacherous topography. It boasts of a strong body frame built with proven ALLGRIP PRO for the toughest terrain for uncompromised off-roading performance. This JIMNY inherits the signature design elements such as the clamshell bonnet, vertical slits in the front grille and iconic round headlamps from the legendary Suzuki JIMNY.

Straightforward practicality:

The interiors of the JIMNY are optimized through a minimalistic design to avoid distractions so that the driver stays focussed. This is achieved with basic black shades to avoid distraction while silver inserts highlight functional elements. The dashboard and centre console have been designed to maximise the driver’s awareness of the angle of the car on undulated surfaces. Sections of the interior have a pattern resembling the body of a high-grade single lens reflex camera that conceals small scratches, suppress reflections and are easy to grip.

This JIMNY comes with 22.86cm (9″) Smart Play Pro+ infotainment system with HD display and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Infotainment system also boasts premium sound acoustic tuning through “Surround Sense” powered by “ARKAMYS”.

ALLGRIP PRO – (with low range transfer gear):
