Maruti Suzuki Jimny Overview

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is a proper off-road SUV wrapped in a small, boxy body that is easy to love. It comes with AllGrip Pro four wheel drive and a low range gearbox, so it can climb and crawl where most SUVs give up. It is a four seat car built for adventure rather than the daily grind.

A single 1.5 litre petrol engine does the work, with a manual or an automatic, and both send power to all four wheels. The tune favours low-speed grunt and control over outright speed. That suits the kind of terrain the Jimny is made for.

Prices run from ₹12.59 Lakh for the Zeta to ₹14.67 Lakh for the top dual tone automatic, over six trims. The range is short and simple, so the choice is mostly kit and gearbox. You can see the on-road Jimny price for your city before deciding.

What sets this Maruti SUV apart is real off-road ability at a price that undercuts bigger rivals. The short body, boxy glass and high stance make it easy to place on a tight trail. On tarmac it is slow but characterful, and the four seats are best for a small group. The turning circle is famously tight, which helps on narrow forest tracks. Water wading and steep climbs are within its reach when you engage low range. Owners often fit it out for weekend trips into the hills. It draws attention wherever it goes.

For buyers who want a genuine trail machine that stays affordable, nothing else in Maruti's range comes close to the Jimny.
