The Mahindra Thar set the blazing trail for lifestyle SUVs in our nation. With each passing day, the latest Thar has been gaining more and more popularity, and this surge in demand has inspired other automakers to explore this segment with their own offerings. One such SUV, which made its grand entrance at the Auto Expo 2023 and is now taking on the Mahindra Thar head-to-head, is the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny, a 5-door off-roading sensation that was previously exclusive to India, has finally landed. Though it may be smaller than its formidable counterpart, the Mahindra Thar, it packs a mighty punch with its impressive capabilities. Surprisingly, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny did not set the sales charts on fire as the auto industry had hoped. In a bid to reinvigorate its appeal, the company is offering an astonishing discount of up to Rs 1.30 lakh on the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.

In the looks department, the 5-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny closely resembles its 3-door sibling available in international markets. It boasts round headlamps and distinctive blacked-out grills. While the rear end maintains a familiar appearance, the most noticeable change is the elongated wheelbase, creating more space inside.
