Maruti Suzuki Jimny Registers Over 30,000 Bookings in India

Since its debut, the new Jimny has without a doubt been one of the most anticipated models in the nation. The major reason for increasing interest in the forthcoming SUV in India is the increased booking amount. To create anticipation for its arrival in our market, the automaker has been disclosing details in parts. The lifestyle off-roader is quite popular in our market, as seen by the rising number of pre-orders. The vehicle recently registered more than 30,000 reservations in India.

The much-awaited Jimny will be powered by a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine that makes 103bhp and 134Nm. The Jimny SUV will have the option of a 4-speed torque converter automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission. Additionally, the off-road vehicle will come standard with all-wheel drive. Suzuki's AllGrip Pro 4WD system and the new Jimny's strong ladder-frame chassis, according to Maruti Suzuki, would help it perform effectively off-road. Three separate driving modes—2WD-high, 4WD-high, and 4WD-low—are offered by the AllGrip Pro system thanks to its manual transfer case and low-range gearbox.
