Maruti Suzuki Jimny Sierra Spotted Testing in India Launching soon !

Maruti has been subjected to a lot of speculation to launch the globally popular Jimny compact off road SUV to India. Maruti had showcased it at the Delhi Auto Expo earlier this year. But there has been no confirmed news until now.

A youtuber (@KarDIY) has recently spotted a white-coloured Maruti Jimny Sierra prototype on the streets of Gurugram. It is the exact same 3 door model sold globally. This top spec Sierra variant also gets alloy wheels.

The global sold Suzuki Jimny is 3550 mm in length, 1645 mm in width and has a height of 1730 mm. It also has a wheelbase of 2250 mm.

We expect the India spec version to come with the same 105PS, 1.5-litre petrol engine as seen on the Brezza, S-Cross and Ciaz. The Jimny will also come as standard a part-time 4WD system.

In terms of features, the Jimny is expected to get the following:

• Flat bottom steering wheel

• Projector headlamps

• Fog lamps

• 15” alloy wheels

• Auto climate control

• 7” touchscreen

• Android auto & Apple carplay

• Steering mounted audio controls

• Power windows & mirrors

• Rear defogger and wiper

• 2 airbags

• ABS with EBD

• Brake assist

• Smart key with Push button start

There is also speculation that the compact SUV will be introduced in a new India-specific 5-door avatar by 2021.

It remains to be seen whether the India spec version will retain the Jimny name or be renamed the Gypsy. Regarding pricing, Maruti Suzuki is expected to price the Jimny in the Rs.9L to Rs.15L range and will go up against the only other Off roader, the Mahindra Thar's petrol versions.

Stay tuned for further updates on the Suzuki Jimny.
