The 5-door Jimny gets Maruti Suzuki’s K15B engine, which is coupled to either a 4-speed torque converter automatic or a 5-speed manual gearbox. This engine delivers 105hp and 134Nm of peak torque. It also receives Maruti’s mild-hybrid technology.
The Jimny 5-door sports Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro 4WD system with a manual transfer case and low-range transmission with ‘2WD-high,’ ‘4WD-high,’ and ‘4WD-low’ modes. It boasts a sturdy ladder-frame chassis, a 3-link rigid axle suspension, and an electronic traction control system that automatically brakes slipping wheels and redistributes force to other wheels. The Jimny 5-door features a 36-degree approach angle, a 24-degree break-over angle, a 50-degree departure angle, and a 210mm ground clearance.
In terms of features, the Jimny 5-door gets Maruti’s SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Arkamys sound system. Safety features include 6 airbags, ESP with hill hold assist, hill descent control, rear-view camera and ABS with EBD.
The Jimny is expected to be priced at around INR 12 lakh (ex-showroom) and will rival other rugged 5-door off-roaders such as the 5-door Mahindra Thar and 5-door Force Gurkha. Maruti will reveal the prices sometime in the first week of June.
