Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-Door - All You Need To Know
It is almost confirmed that Maruti Suzuki will be launching the 5-door version of the Suzuki Jimny SUV in India. That being said, we are not sure whether the Indo-Japanese automaker will launch the 3-door version of the Suzuki Jimny SUV in India despite the fact that the model is manufactured in the country.
Apart from that, the frequency of spied images of the 5-door version of the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV has also increased in recent times - Suggesting that the model will be launched very soon in the Indian automobile market.
Also, looking at these spied images, it seems that the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door SUV has taken its final form. As such, we expect Maruti Suzuki to launch this SUV around the year-end. We also expect the 5-door iteration of the Jimny SUV to be very successful if the Indo-Japanese manufacturer prices the model aggressively.
Under the skin, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV uses an old-school ladder frame chassis, this gives the SUV a very rugged character and better off-road ability as well. However, we expect the ride quality and handling to take a minor hit as a result of this setup. Also, thanks to the ladder frame chassis and the 4WD setup, the interior space might not be as good as expected.
Speaking about the 4WD system, the 5-door version of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny SUV is expected to come equipped with Suzuki's ALLGRIP Pro all-wheel-drive system. This system comes with three modes - 2H, 4H and 4L. The 2H mode sends all the power and torque from the engine to the rear wheels and this mode is ideal for daily driving as it delivers better fuel economy figures.
On the other hand, the 4H and 4L modes are designed to tackle off-road terrains where the 4H mode is used for general off-road conditions where the vehicle may need additional traction, whereas the 4L mode is used for more extreme off-road conditions as this mode multiplies the torque sent to all wheels using a low ratio gearbox. However, it is also rumoured that the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door may sport the all-wheel-drive system from the recently launched Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara SUV.
We expect the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door SUV to be powered by the new K15C, 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated, 4-cylinder petrol engine that powers the updated Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, XL6 and Vitara Brezza in India. This engine is capable of producing 103bhp of peak power and 136.8Nm of peak torque. Thanks to this new engine, gearbox options are likely to include the 5-speed manual transmission and a more sophisticated 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
Thoughts About Maruti Suzuki Jimny
Though it will be great if Maruti Suzuki opts to launch the 3-door variant of the Jimny, in reality, the 5-door version of the Jimny SUV will appeal to many car buyers in India as the added practicality offered by the 5-door version of the Jimny SUV is likely to triumph over the desirability of the 3-door version of the SUV.
