The Suzuki Jimny is now becoming officially manufactured in India. But, it is forbidden fruit for us in Indian. Maruti Suzuki is constructing the Jimny only for the export markets. But are we going to get 1 quickly?
Maruti Suzuki India Limited has officially announced the production of the Suzuki Jimny in India. However, I request you to discover some inner strength to restrain your feelings with what I’m going to inform you next. The Suzuki Jimny constructed in India is solely meant for export. Yes, the coveted tiny Jimny is not going to be sold in India, at least for now. Maruti Suzuki has announced that the initially lot of 184 Jimnys constructed in India are becoming shipped to Latin America, the Middle East and African markets.
India is now the production base for the Jimny as Suzuki stated that it is aiming to “leverage Maruti Suzuki’s global production stature”. The purpose for moving the production of the Jimny to India is due to the overwhelming demand for the model globally. Suzuki claims the worldwide demand for the off-roader is nicely beyond its manufacturing capacity in Japan. The Indian facility in Gurugram, Haryana, operated by Maruti will supplement the capacity to meet the international demand.
The model which is becoming manufactured in Gurugram is identical to the specification the Japanese plant is churning out. All Jimnys becoming constructed in India use the very same 1.5-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine. It is provided with the selection of a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic with selectable 4×4.
The most up-to-date-generation of the Suzuki Jimny produced its debut in 2018. Ever considering the fact that then, the tiny 4×4 has been rumoured to be launched in India. Maruti Suzuki even showcased the Jimny Sierra at the 2020 Auto Expo, but as we had lately reported, it is not meant for the Indian marketplace. Maruti Suzuki claims that it has no plans to launch the Jimny in the Indian marketplace. Sources recommend that the Jimny would cannibalise into the sales of the S-Cross and other models inside a equivalent value variety. If rumours are to be believed, Maruti Suzuki is stated to be working on a 5-door Jimny for the Indian marketplace. However, only time will inform if there is any truth to that story.
