The Delhi Auto Expo, which starts on January 11th in Greater Noida, is where the 5-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny will premiere worldwide. In addition, the Indo-Japanese automaker will debut the completely updated Maruti Baleno Cross. A recent media report states that the 5-door Maruti Jimny will go on sale in April, and the Baleno Cross compact SUV will follow in August 2023. The new Jimny will be marketed as a lifestyle off-road SUV to appeal to a more extensive client base. The future 5-door Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha will be pitted against it.
5-door Maruti Jimny Engine & Power
This off-roader SUV will be made available in India with a 1.5-liter K15C naturally aspirated petrol engine with mild hybrid technology. This setup will generate 101 bhp max power and 137 Nm torque. The new Brezza, Grand Vitara, and the updated Ertiga and XL6 also share the same powertrain. The new 5-door Jimny can be given a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
5-door Maruti Jimny will be a powerful off-roader
Like the Maruti Grand Vitara, the 5-door Maruti Jimny will come with Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro AWD system. It is worth noting that the Vitara’s AllGrip AWD setup misses out on the low-ratio gears that enhance the car’s off-road driving capability by increasing engine torque and limiting top speed. It can be changed between 2H (two-wheel drive high) and 4H (four-wheel drive high) for off-roading.
5-door Maruti Jimny Features
Official details of the new Jimny 5-door have yet to be revealed. However, it will likely come with a more extensive 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system instead of the 7-inch unit. Some of its features will be taken from the new Brezza and Grand Vitara. The new SUV may also have some connected car features. Delhi Auto Expo is awaited to know more about the new Jimny 5-door.
5-door Maruti Jimny Competition
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door will compete directly with the 5-door versions of the Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha. Both are currently in the development phase, and test models of both the new SUVs have already been spotted.
