1/6

The Jimny showed here is a 3-door and in India it is expected to come in that only which means it would be the only 3-door Maruti SUV like the Gypsy which was also 3-door. It is a four-seater with boot big enough too.

2/6

The Jimny has a 1.5l petrol engine with 100 bhp while it has both an automatic plus a manual gearbox. There is no diesel option and in India it will be petrol only. the engine si same in the new Ciaz and Brezza.

3/6

Unlike the Brezza the Jimny has a ladder frame like the Toyota Fortuner which makes it robust off-road but it has a special system where for off-roading the gearing is tuned which means you can drive through rough roads with a low gear with extreme off-roading.

4/6

The Jimny is 3.5m in length and quite a small car but the design is proper SUV with a large grille and small round headlamps like the Gypsy plus it has a spare wheel at the back too which is similar to the old Gypsy.

5/6

The Jimny is the new generation of the Gypsy and is true to the roots of being an affordable off-road car. It is not a modern compact SUV but a proper 4-wheel drive SUV.

6/6

Maruti is most likely to launch it later in the year or early next year and it will compete with the Mahindra Thar. Overall the Jimny is a off-roader SUV and not a Brezza like compact SUV.
