Maruti Suzuki Jimny production, delivery details

Series production for the India-bound Jimny 5-door will take place at Maruti's Gurugram plant and it will cater to domestic as well as international markets. Maruti Suzuki has plans to produce around one lakh units a year; around 7,000 units every month are expected to be earmarked for the domestic market, with the rest being for exports.

Deliveries for the Jimny are expected to commence by late May in India and sources tell us that the top-tier Jimny Alpha will see priority in the production sequence, thanks to high demand.

Maruti Suzuki’s tried-and-tested 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine powers the Jimny, producing 105hp and 134Nm of peak torque. Gearbox choices include either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque-converter automatic. It gets Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro 4WD system with a manual transfer case and a low-range gearbox with ‘2WD-high’, ‘4WD-high’ and ‘4WD-low’ modes. The Jimny is also underpinned by a rugged ladder-frame chassis.

Maruti Suzuki Jimny variants, features

The Jimny is available in just two trims – Zeta and Alpha – where the latter gets the bells and whistles, including auto headlamps, SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system and Arkamys sound system. However, Maruti Suzuki is offering safety features like six airbags and hill-hold assist as standard. You can read a detailed breakdown of features here.

Maruti is expected to price the Jimny in the region of Rs 12 lakh and it is likely to go on sale in May 2023.
