5-Door Maruti Suzuki Jimny Launch In 2022; More Details Out

Suzuki Jimny, which was unveiled at Auto Expo 2020, has been one of the most-awaited SUVs in the Indian market. It is reported that Suzuki will introduce the Jimny in a 5-door LWB avatar in the Indian market. However, Maruti Suzuki is yet to confirm the launch of the LWB Jimny. The company is constantly saying that Jimny is still under consideration; however, final details are yet to be finalised.

What’s interesting is that Suzuki has already started testing the Long Wheelbase version of the Jimny off-roader in foreign soil. A new media report claims that Suzuki is currently focusing on expanding the supply of the 3-door Jimny for 2021. Suzuki has also started producing the Jimny in India for export markets. The 5-door Jimny will be introduced in 2022. It is expected to be unveiled in early 2022, while launch could take place in July next year.

The 5-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny will be based on the Sierra. It will have 300mm longer wheelbase, which will help in liberating more space inside the cabin. The length of the SUV will be increased by 300mm. It is expected to feature forward-facing second row of seats. Previous leaks reveal that the new LWB Jimny will measure  3,850mm in length, 1,645mm in width and 1,730mm in height. The SUV will have a wheelbase of 2,550mm, while the ground clearance stands at 210mm. It will have a kerb weight of 1190kg, which is 100kgs higher than the 3-door Sierra.

The Jimny 5-door will be powered by a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine that also powers the 3-door Jimny in select international markets. This engine produces 102PS of maximum power and 130Nm of torque. It is reported that Suzuki could introduce the turbocharged version of this engine to handle the bigger and heavier Jimny. The powertrain could also receive a mild hybrid with S energy charge; however, official details are yet to be announced. With 1.5-litre petrol engine, the 5-door Jimny won’t qualify for the lower excise duties on offer in the sub-4 meter category.

5-Door Maruti Jimny Launch

It is expected that the 5-door Jimny will share styling cues from the upgraded 3-door Jimny, which is rumoured to be introduced in the end of this year. The SUV could receive new front fascia with new global design philosophy. It is expected to receive revised bumpers, grille, wheels and headlamps. However, the SUV will retain the original design of the Jimny.

The cabin of the new 5-door Jimny could be altered with more premium features and finish. It could get leatherette seats, front and rear armrest, multi-functional steering wheel, upgraded instrument console, automatic AC, a touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone connectivity, etc.
