Maruti Suzuki Jimny bookings open at Rs. 24,500: Everything you need to know

Delhi : Maruti Suzuki India is getting ready to release the five-door Jimny SUV after releasing the sub-4-meter Fronx small SUV. Our sources claim that the off-roader has received 24,500 reservations so far.

One of India's most keenly awaited SUVs is the Maruti Suzuki Jimny. After the Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, and the recently released Maruti Suzuki Fronx, it is currently the largest automaker in the nation's SUV lineup.

Maruti has high expectations for the Fronx and the Jimny since it wants to have a 25% market share in India's SUV industry by FY24. As a point of comparison, the business sold 202,000 SUVs in FY23, accounting for a market share of 12.07%. The sector saw 1,673,000 SUV sales during the fiscal year.

The Jimny and Fronx models were both presented at the 2023 Auto Expo. The two SUVs, as well as the Ignis, Baleno, Ciaz, XL6, and Grand Vitara, are offered at Maruti Nexa dealerships.

By the end of this month or the beginning of the following, we anticipate the Maruti Suzuki Jimny to be introduced in India. The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is anticipated to cost between Rs. 11 lakh and Rs. 15 lakh in India.

The K15B 1.5-liter petrol engine, which produces 105PS of maximum power and 134Nm of peak torque, is what powers the off-roader. Both a 5-speed MT and a 4-speed AT are options for the engine's gearbox. The SUV boasts ALLGRIP PRO 4WD technology with low-range transfer gear (4L mode) as standard, and it is built on a ladder frame chassis.

The Jimny only has Zeta and Alpha varieties, whereas Nexa models are often available in Sigma, Delta, Zeta, and Alpha versions, with Sigma serving as the entry-level and Alpha serving as the top-spec. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Maruti, CV Raman, recently stated to India Today that Jimny is a well-known brand and that we anticipate that its consumers would need all the features.
