Maruti Suzuki Fronx compact crossover is the first major product launch from the Indo-Japanese automaker this year. The Nexa offering comes in five trims (Sigma, Delta, Delta+, Zeta and Alpha), priced between Rs 7.47 lakh – Rs 13.14 lakh (all, ex-showroom). Now, the carmaker is gearing up to bring in its second big model – the 5-door Jimny lifestyle SUV. While its official launch date is yet to be revealed, the model is reported to go on sale in the late May 2023.
Buyers will have 7 exterior colour options to choose from including Bluish Black, Nexa Blue, Granite Grey, Sizzling Red, Pearl Artic White, Sizzling Red with Bluish Black roof and Kinetic Yellow with Bluish Black roof. While we have seen its dual-tone Kinetic Yellow with Bluish Black roof model multiple times, recently it was spotted in Pearl Arctic White and Sizzling Red with Blush Black roof paint schemes at the dealerships.
The 5-door lifestyle SUV from Maruti Suzuki uses a 1.5L K15B petrol engine that makes a top power of 105bbhp and 134Nm of torque. The motor has mild hybrid tech and comes with two gearbox options – a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque converter automatic. The Maruti Jimny model lineup gets only two trims – Zeta and Alpha.
The Alpha trim has all goodies on offer including a 9.0-inch touchscreen SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system, Arkamys sound system, climate control, keyless start, cruise control, fog lamps, LED headlamps, headlamp washers, auto headlamps, body-coloured door handles and alloy wheels. The standard feature kit includes a 7.0-inch infotainment unit, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, colour MID display, power windows, reversing camera, brake limited slip differential, seatbelt pretensioners, Isofix child seat anchorages, electronic stability program, 6 airbags, 4-speaker audio system, electrically adjustable wing mirrors and steel wheels.
The Maruti Jimny prices are expected to start around Rs 10 lakh for the entry-level variant and go up to Rs 13 lakh for the fully-packed version.
