Auto Expo 2023: Maruti Suzuki Jimny five-door showcased

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny, the Gypsy’s spiritual successor, is undeniably one of the most anticipated off-roaders in the Indian market. Maruti Suzuki debuted the three-door Jimny SUV at the 2020 Auto Expo. However, the SUV was only shown to gauge consumer interest and was never released in the country. Maruti Suzuki has finally introduced the Jimny five-door at the Auto Expo 2023, after a nearly three-year hiatus. The SUV will be available in two models: Zeta and Alpha.

The SUV measures 3,985mm in length, 1,645mm in width, and 1,720mm in height, with a 2,590mm wheelbase. It has 210mm of ground clearance and a boot space of 208L, which expands to 332L when the rear seats are folded.

The Jimny five-exterior door’s design highlights include an extended wheelbase, straight pillars with an upright muscular bonnet, honeycomb mesh five-slot grille, circular LED headlamps with washer, fog lamps housed in the front bumper, five twin-spoke alloy wheel design, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.

Inside, the SUV has features like circular AC vents, a black dashboard, and adjustable second-row headrests. A freestanding nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, Suzuki Connect telematics, steering-mounted controls, cruise control, and a push start/stop button round out the features.

Six airbags are standard, as are hill descent control, hill hold assist, a limited slip brake differential, ABS with EBD, a rear-view camera, ISOFIX, and side-impact door beams.
