The front end of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door variant will be almost identical to that of its 3-door sibling, except for a few expected cosmetic modifications.
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door has been reportedly undergoing final testing without any camouflage. The much-awaited car was spotted in its final production form in Leh, Ladakh. The spy shots revealed that the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door gets a longer wheelbase, two more doors, and a larger bodyshell. It will measure 3,850mm in length, 1,645mm in width, and 1,730mm in height. While the width and height remain the same, it is now 300mm longer than the 3-door Jimny.
