The new unit produces 88bhp (compared to 82bhp from the previous engine) and 113Nm of peak torque.

The engine is further mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or an AMT automatic as standard. The updated powertrain options also offer improved mileage figures as well, with Maruti Suzuki now claiming 23.20km/l and 23.76km/l on the manual and AMT versions, respectively.

Also, Maruti Suzuki has already commenced the export operations of the Jimny SUV in the country. The first batch of SUV was produced in India and is being shipped to Latin American countries such as Columbia and Peru. The first shipment of 184 units of the Suzuki Jimny SUV left from Mundra port in Gujarat. The company is expected to launch the model soon in the Indian market also.

Thoughts About The Price Hike Done By Maruti Across Its Entire Portfolio

As we mentioned above that due to the increase in the cost of production and materials the manufacturer has no other option but to increase the prices. However, we are expecting that the difference between the old and the new prices should not be that much.
