Wherethe Fronx, Brezza and Grand Vitara make up the conventional SUV lineup, the Jimny will target those looking at a traditional SUV, a lifestyle product, or just something that will stand out in the crowd. Despite this being a Maruti, the number of interested people will swell to a huge one pretty quickly.
The 9.0-inch screen runs the latest Maruti Suzuki Smartplay pro+ OS with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. By the time this car hits the market, we expect that it too will get wireless smartphone mirroring. Other features on this top-spec model include button start, cruise control, power mirrors, power windows, colour MID, steering-mounted audio controls, keyless entry and Arkamys sound system. On the safety front, you get six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, hill-hold and descent control, and ISOFIX child seat mounting points.
The Jimny, when launched in India, will be offered with the 1.5-litre K15B engine that produces 102bhp/136Nm and can be had with either a five-speed manual or an India-specific four-speed torque converter automatic.
The Jimny might be an old-school, ladder-on-frame petrol SUV but it is not the first one from Maruti Suzuki in India. In fact, that honour goes to a motoring icon in the form of the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy.
Launched in India in 1985, it was a compact SUV before the term even came to life. Initially offered with a 1.0-litre three-pot petrol, it eventually went on to be offered with a 1.4-litre petrol engine, mated to a five-speed manual. As standard, it got differentials and a transfer case. It had boxy looks, high bonnet squared-off wheel arches, a side-hinged tail gate, and a boot-mounted spare. Sounds familiar? Yup, the Jimny is a modern incarnation of the Gypsy, call it if you will, a descendent of the Gypsy, or as it was globally known- the Samurai.
The car is expected to be launched in India, later this year, with a price in the range of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 14 lakh (ex-showroom). The Jimny, in this price bracket, will lock horns with the Mahindra XUV300, Kia Sonet, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra Bolero, Mahindra Bolero Neo, and of course, the entry-level version of the Mahindra Thar.

The demand for large family-oriented SUVs has skyrocketed in the recent past. This sparked a chain reaction, forcing the automotive industry to mint iterations of similar SUVs to chase sales figures. This uptick in demand has birthed categories like crossover SUVs, Compact SUVs, and the Luxury SUV.
The entire concept of a sports utility vehicle has also shifted slightly, from being rugged, functional, and cheap to run to now being bathed in expensive materials and tech. Today's Average SUV is usually used to ferry passengers around cities in complete luxury, comfort, and silence. So in a world where even the Land Rover Defender has become a bit of a status symbol, the Suzuki Jimny seems to have hit the sweet spot for many enthusiasts. With its compact but immediately recognizable design, the Jimny has left its potential customer base charmed.
The problem is that the Suzuki Jimny is not available from the assembly lines to the showroom in all countries, especially the markets in North America. So, even if you are a massive fan of the Jimny, if you live in the United States, you will find it hard to get your hands on one. If you do, the off-roader will be just that, an off-road vehicle that will never be allowed on the roads because they are not street-legal in any state. Let's look a little deeper into the nifty little Suzuki and understand why you cannot go down to the nearest car lot and pick one up for yourself.
Updated on August 16, 2023: The Suzuki Jimny is a capable off-roader designed for markets in countries focused on compact and fuel-efficient vehicles. But that does not mean they shouldn't be sold worldwide, so we have decided to update this piece. It would truly be a shame to see the Jimny lost in the shuffle, so stay tuned for more updates as they happen.
The Suzuki Jimny represents a dying breed of minimal, short, and highly capable 4x4 off-roaders aimed directly at true enthusiasts. It has a classic body-on-frame design with a ladder-on-frame chassis. This, coupled with solid beam axles on both ends, makes the Jimny more durable but also allows for easy modifications, especially since this has become synonymous with off-roading.
The short wheelbase of the Jimny makes it nimble and reactive over harsh angles, and although the rather cute 1.5-liter engine producing 101 horsepower may feel like bringing a retractable knife to a gunfight, its weight of 2,400 pounds gives it just enough horsepower per ton to make it a fun off-roading experience.
All in all, with a small and durable body, ladder-frame chassis, its AllGrip Pro 4x4 system mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic - The Suzuki Jimny offers an unadulterated and stripped-down experience that only true enthusiasts would recognize. It is, in many ways, comparable to the Jeep Wrangler, which is arguably the only other short-wheelbase off-roading experience within financial reach.
While glossing over the various specifications between these two 4x4s, it becomes apparent that they both belong to two very different brackets, under the umbrella of good and cheap off-roaders. The Jeep Wrangler has a 3.6 liter V-6 engine that produces about 281 horsepower with 255 pound-feet of torque. Looking at just the engine specifications, one may think that the Jeep is twice the car, but it is also twice the money. The Suzuki Jimny, if officially on sale in the U.S., would cost a buyer approximately $14,500, just about half the asking price of a Jeep Wrangler, which starts around $30,000.
You can also argue that the Suzuki Jimny may come off as the more capable off-roader under specific conditions, especially on steeper terrain. This is mainly due to its superior departure, approach, and break-over angles over the Wrangler. Overall, it is safe to say that if the Suzuki Jimny was put on sale in the U.S., Jeep would definitely have a lot to worry about. At this price point, it offers a very similar off-roading experience to that of the Jeep Wrangler, and especially in the world of off-roading, cheap, practical, and easy to fix are the words enthusiasts look for.
If you are a resident of the U.S., chances are you already know that even the new 2023 Suzuki Jimny will not be made available in showrooms across America. While there may be many speculative reasons for this, one of the most evident ones is that Suzuki simply does not believe in its U.S. market share, especially within a saturated segment. Since Suzuki Auto America filed for bankruptcy in 2012, the Japanese automaker ended sales of cars in the U.S. altogether.
