Till now, the carmaker has not confirmed their plans to launch the Jimny SUV for the Indian market. Earlier, Maruti dropped their plans to introduce the SUV in India because they did not see any requirement of a three-door SUV.  Introducing a 5-door model of the SUV would be a sensible investment. In other news, Maruti Suzuki has sold over 5 lakh BS-VI compliant cars in the last nine months. The range of BS-VI compliant Maruti vehicles includes- Alto, S-Presso, Celerio, WagonR, Swift, Baleno, Dzire, Ertiga and XL6. Maruti Eeco is the latest BS-6 compliant model in the company’s line-up.
