Introduction: A Classic Made More Usable
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny has always been known as a tough, reliable car for people who love exploring rough roads and wild places. Its smaller 3-door version became very popular over the years because of its strong build and ability to handle tough terrain. Now, Maruti Suzuki has made the Jimny even better for everyday life by introducing the 5-Door version. This new model keeps everything people loved about the original—like its rugged looks and off-road skills—but adds more space and comfort, making it perfect for families and daily drives.
Design: Tough Looks with Added Convenience
The 5-door Jimny still looks bold and sturdy, just like the older version. It has the same boxy shape, circular LED headlights, and a strong front grille. However, the new version is longer, which means more room inside. The wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels) is 340 mm longer, and the overall length has grown by 385 mm. This extra space makes it easier to get into the back seats and gives a bigger trunk—208 liters of storage, which can be expanded to 332 liters by folding the rear seats. The car’s tough appearance is highlighted by features like wide wheel arches, roof rails for carrying gear, and 15-inch alloy wheels. New color choices, like bright yellow and deep bluish-black, give it a fresh, modern feel.
Inside, the cabin is simple but functional. The dashboard has a 9-inch touchscreen for music, maps, and phone connectivity (like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). Other features include automatic air conditioning, adjustable steering, and vents for rear passengers. The materials used inside are sturdy and easy to clean, which is great for adventures. At the same time, the added legroom and headspace make long drives comfortable for everyone.
Performance: Built for Adventure, Smooth on Roads
The Jimny 5-door uses a 1.5-liter petrol engine that produces 105 horsepower and 134 Nm of torque. It comes with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic, giving drivers flexibility based on their preference. But what really makes this car special is its 4×4 system, designed for off-road driving. The AllGrip Pro technology lets the driver switch between different modes to handle mud, sand, or rocky paths. It also has a low-range gearbox for steep hills and a strong ladder-frame chassis to protect the car on rough ground. Features like Hill Hold Assist (which stops the car from rolling backward on slopes), Brake Limited Slip Differential (to prevent wheel spin), and 210 mm of ground clearance (the height between the road and the car’s underside) make it a true off-road expert.
Features and Safety: Modern Tech for Peace of Mind
Maruti Suzuki has packed the 5-door Jimny with useful technology and safety tools:
-
Six airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and electronic stability control (ESP) to protect passengers.
-
High-quality speakers for clear music, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and cruise control for relaxed highway driving.
-
Rear parking sensors and a rearview camera to help with parking in tight spots.
Price and Competition: Great Value for Money
The Jimny 5-door is priced between ₹12.5 lakh to ₹15 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a strong competitor to cars like the Mahindra Thar 5-door and Force Gurkha. While it doesn’t offer a diesel engine, its lighter weight and Maruti Suzuki’s wide network of service centers make it easier to maintain. It’s also fuel-efficient for a 4×4, giving around 16.5 km per liter, which is good for both city commutes and weekend trips.
Conclusion: Adventure Without Sacrificing Comfort
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-Door SUV is the perfect choice for people who want a car that works well in the city but is still ready for off-road fun. It combines the toughness and reliability of the original Jimny with the space and comfort modern drivers need. Whether you’re stuck in traffic or climbing a mountain trail, this car handles it all without compromise. With its bold style, advanced features, and trusted performance, the Jimny 5-door isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a way to make every drive exciting and worry-free.
