After a lot of love letters to Maruti via social media, the largest cammaker of the country has finally brought the Jimny to the Indian shores. It's green, gorgeous, and is definitely what we all want to see in India. The Suzuki Jimny is arguably one of the most hyped SUVs of recent times. Why? Well, it’s a lovable mini-SUV, which treads a fine line between ruggedness and charm. We were repeatedly let down by Maruti Suzuki as it announced that the Jimny won’t make it to India. But there’s a ray of hope hidden in a report, which reveals Maruti’s SUV plans for India.
The Jimny Sierra uses a K15B 1.5-litre petrol engine rated at 102PS and 130Nm of torque. This engine is paired up with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The Jimny is also available in a Kei version, which uses a 663cc three-cylinder turbo petrol in Japan. Some notable equipment on offer includes part-time 4WD with a low-range transfer gear, 3-link rigid axle suspension, brake LSD and ESP. For more details, check out the video above.
