The Jimny will be available in two top-tier trims, namely Zeta and Alpha, both equipped with standard 4WD technology. Maruti has reportedly equipped the SUV with the K15B 1.5litre petrol engine that is capable of producing 150 PS in power and hitting 134 N-m of torque, paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.
Safety features on the four-wheel drive SUV include six airbags, a brake-limited slip differential, electronic stability program, a hill-hold-assist, hill-descent control, a rearview camera, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and ABS with EBD.
Maruti Suzuki India expects its new offering Jimny to not only bring in volumes but also establish its credentials as a formidable player in the rapidly growing sports utility vehicle segment where it is eyeing the top slot, a senior company executive told PTI earlier this year.
Sales of SUVs and MPVs exceeding 4 metres in length now make up at least 10% in volume terms even at compact-car makers such as Maruti Suzuki.
