Sales figures for earlier months show a gradual increase: January saw 163 units sold, February had 322 units, March had 318 units, April had 257 units, and May had 274 units. This upward trend indicates growing popularity in India.

DriveSpark Thinks

Maruti Suzuki currently sells only the five-door version of the Jimny in India. The three-door version is primarily exported due to higher demand abroad. There is speculation that this variant might soon be available in India.
