Five-Door Maruti Jimny Likely Debut On January 12 – More Details Emerge

It is no secret that Maruti Suzuki has started testing the much-awaited long wheelbase version of the Suzuki Jimny lifestyle SUV in India. The 5-door model has already been spotted testing on European streets as well. According to the Japanese media, the Five-Door Maruti Suzuki Jimny could be unveiled on January 12 at the 2023 Auto Expo. Not just India, the LWB Jimny will also be launched in Australia in 2023.

The new 5-door Maruti Jimny will be based on the 3-door Suzuki Jimny Sierra. The overall wheelbase and the length of the SUV will be increased by 300mm. Leaked documents reveal that the new lifestyle SUV will measure 3,850mm in length, 1,645mm in width and 1,730mm in height. It will ride on 2,550mm long wheelbase, which should allow MSIL to create more space for the backseat passengers. Adding to it, the SUV will also offer more practical boot space. The SUV will have a ground clearance of 210mm and is reportedly to have a kerb weight of 1,190kg that is 100kgs higher than the 3-door Sierra.

The report further claims that the new Jimny will adopt a new petrol engine with a mild hybrid setup. It is expected to get Suzuki’s new 1.5-litre K15C 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol engine, which pairs with an electric motor. This engine is capable of producing 101bhp and 138N of torque. Transmission choices are likely to include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic. It can be offered with two-wheel or four-wheel drive layout.

It is also speculated that Suzuki is also considering a strong hybrid version of the Jimny; however, details about the same are yet to be revealed. In terms of features, the 5-door Jimny is expected to get a larger 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system instead of a 7-inch unit. The SUV is also expected to receive some modern features in-line with new Brezza and the Grand Vitara.

The new five-door Maruti Jimny will also receive some design changes, which will also be offered on the 3-door model. It is expected to receive a new front grille, new headlamp setup and revised body panels. The new model is likely to be launched in our market in the first half of 2023. It will be sold via Maruti Suzuki’s NEXA premium dealership network.
