Suzuki Jimny 5-Door Model Spotted; India Launch In 2022

It is no secret that Suzuki is working on a long wheelbase 5-door version of the new Jimny mini off-roader. The new model will also make its way to our market in 2022. The company has started testing the production-ready version of the Suzuki Jimny 5-door, which has been spotted recently.

The spy images confirm that the Suzuki Jimny 5-door rides on the longer wheelbase and will get an extended body. The longer wheelbase will allow the company to create more space inside the cabin; making it more practical. Maruti Suzuki will also manufacture the LWB Jimny for India as well as international markets.
