Overall Evaluation of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is an entry level sports utility vehicle(SUV) that is expected to hit the Indian roads by the end of 2013. The new Jimny model will be positioned between the Gypsy and Grand Vitara models and will come powered by a 1.5 litre multi-jet engine. The Jimny is expected to be shelved in the price segment of sub Rs 7 lakh and will thus be competing with the likes of Mahindra’s recently rolled-out Thar model.

The Jimny model had been showcased at the Auto Expo in the year 2004, where the SUV had received an overwhelming response from the auto enthusiasts. Same as other vehicles of its segment, the Jimny model would be loaded with front ventilated disc brakes and rear drum type leading and trailing brakes.

Commenting on the Jimny's entry in the Indian market, a company official had recently said in a statement give to media persons that the Jimny model is to be rolled-out in the Indian market as the existing Gypsy model is not performing well. The launch of Jimny will thus give a boost to Maruti’s position in the SUV segment that is currently dominated by Mahindra & Mahindra.

The Jimny will be available in two variants, as it is in the overseas market where it is sold as part of Suzuki's offering. Variants would include Jimny JLX MPi and Jimny JLX Ddi.

The highly efficient diesel engine of the vehicle will offers a high fuel economy along with a lower CO2 emission.

Exterior, Interior & Safety Features of the Maruti Jimny

Hosting a minimal number of curves or flow lines at the exterior, the Jimny model carries a muscular appearance, thanks to its bold and aggressive front view.The main exterior features of the Jimny include body color ORVMs without turn indicators, multi-reflector square headlamps, wider air intakes large bumper and 15 inch long wheels.

I used gypsy for nearly 10 years. Since it has no diesel engine I sold the vehicle and purchased one Ritz diesel.

If gypsy is coming with a diesel engine surely there will be a huge demand.

Suitable name is gypsy II.

October 07, 2011by Joji

Everything is fine in Jimny except doors. there must be 5 door instead of three.
October 05, 2011by Dharmender Kumar

I strongly reccomend that Maruti Jimmy, should have 4 doors hard top with A/C, auto Trans. powersteering/windows etc etc for a modern SUV. and all luxury featurs on the dashboard. can offer the normal one with cheap price and higher price for a fully loaded modern SUV.

October 04, 2011by Thomas George

In Jimny maruti must have 4 door.Than it will be a worth to have.
October 02, 2011by Nirbhya Singh

Suzuki Jimmy, Maruti should think of having a 4 door auto trans with all safety items and comfortable interior for a modern SUV. It will have good demand in India.

I want to know more like; does Jimny have A/C, power steering & power windows which the Gypsy doesn't? and what is the milages per litre of diesel?
May 24, 2011by D S Bhullar

This is exactly the SUV that can be used for off-road driving as well as for city use. Its smaller size makes it more convenient to maneuver through the heavy city traffic. I would go for the 4-door version and like to know when it will be available for purchase.
