The SUV will retain most of the styling elements from the three-door variant. The five-door version gets a five-twin-spoke alloy wheel design, a larger bumper with honeycomb mesh pattern, fog lamps at both ends and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.
Talking about the interiors, the cabin layout of the SUV is expected to remain the same but the Jimny may get a bigger touchscreen system with connected car tech. The feature list will include wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 360-degree camera, wireless charging, steering-mounted controls and many more.
Mechanically, the Maruti Jimny is expected to retain the same 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, NA petrol engine that powers the newly launched Grand Vitara and Brezza as well. This engine generates 100 bhp power and 130 Nm torque.
Globally, Jimny is offered the 4X4 System which also comes with a low-range transfer case. In India, we can expect the same 4×4 system to be offered with the 5-door version.
We expect Maruti to price the five-door Jimny starting at Rs.8 lakh and when launched, the Jimny will rival the Mahindra Thar and the Force Gurkha.
