Maruti Suzuki has launched the much-awaited Jimny SUV in India, with prices starting from ₹12.74 lakh for the entry-level Zeta trim and going up to ₹15.05 lakh for the top-spec Alpha trim (both prices ex-showroom, India). Bookings for the Jimny have been underway since its debut at Auto Expo 2023, and the company claims to have amassed over 30,000 bookings. Dealer sources have said deliveries will start from mid-June in a phased manner.
Developed specifically for our market — India is the first country to get the five-door version. Jimny will be produced at Maruti’s Gurugram plant and will be exported to other markets too. Customers can opt for the Jimny via Maruti’s subscription programme for a monthly fee of ₹33,550.
The Jimny is powered by a sole 105hp, 134Nm, 1.5-litre, four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that comes mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic. However, unlike Maruti’s remaining line-up in India, which has moved on to the newer K15C engine, the Jimny uses the older-spec K15B engine. Maruti claims a fuel efficiency of 16.94kpl for the manual variant, while the automatic variant returns a mileage of 16.39kpl.
