The Suzuki Jimny will receive its power from a 1.5-litre K-Series gasoline burner which can deliver 100 BHP against 130 Nm. The transmission duties will be undertaken by a 5-speed MT and a 4-speed AT. The SUV will come with Suzuki’s advanced 4WD AllGrip system for enhanced off-road capabilities.

Although the three-door version of the Jimny has made its debut at the 2020 Auto Expo, the five-door version of this SUV is expected to be launched in India to serve as the substitute for the Maruti Gypsy. The 5-door one will provide the passengers with a larger cabin and rear doors, which helps this SUV become more suitable for the family buyers. The SUV will get longer wheelbase and have greater dimensions.
