The Maruti Suzuki Jimny sees the nation's largest carmaker return to the off-roading market for the first time since the Gypsy was discontinued for good in late 2018.

The new Jimny for India looks like the same boxy SUV sold abroad but features an extra set of doors. The Jimny 5-door features a body-on-frame design that uses a ladder frame setup with a 3-link rigid axle suspension setup with coil springs. The Jimny rides on 15-inch wheels (steel/alloy).

Powering the Jimny in India is Maruti Suzuki's K15B 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 103.4bhp and 134.2Nm of peak torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox and Suzuki's AllGrip Pro 4-wheel drive system with a low-range transfer box.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny's interiors are quite spartan except for the 9-inch infotainment system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The high-def display is connected to a sound system tuned by Arkamys.
