Exterior Design And Engineering

8

With a compact yet upright stance, the Jimny looks every bit the rugged SUV. Its cheerful boxy design, round LED headlamps, clamshell bonnet, and tailgate-mounted spare wheel give it immense character. At 3,985mm long and 1,645mm wide, it’s smaller than rivals but cleverly proportioned. While it isn’t imposing like the Thar, it stands out in its own quirky way.

Read More
Interior Space And Comfort

6

The cabin is functional with upright glass areas and retro-themed design. However, narrow width, limited storage, and minimal seat/steering adjustment hurt practicality. Rear access is tight and taller passengers will find space lacking. On the upside, visibility is excellent and there's decent boot space with the rear seats up or folded.

Read More
Performance And Refinement

6

Powered by the older 105hp K15B petrol engine, the Jimny feels best at low speeds. It’s refined for city use but lacks punch for highway overtakes. The 5-speed manual feels clunky, while the 4-speed auto is smoother and better suited to its nature. Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro system with low-range makes it a genuine off-roader.

Read More
Mileage / Range And Efficiency

6

Claimed figures stand at 16.94kpl (manual) and 16.39kpl (auto). In real-world use, the manual returned 12.8kpl and the automatic 11.8kpl overall—acceptable for a 4x4 but not impressive compared to crossovers.

Read More
Ride Comfort And Handling

7

Despite being a ladder-frame SUV, the Jimny rides surprisingly well at city speeds. Off-road, its compact size, low weight, and strong 4x4 credentials shine. Highway manners are decent, but steering is slow and heavy, and it’s not ideal for spirited on-road driving. Brake performance is solid, and off-road angles (36° approach, 47° departure) are impressive.

Read More
Features And Safety

7

The Alpha variant includes a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, cruise control, LED headlamps, and reversing camera. Safety features include six airbags, ESP, hill-hold and descent control, and brake-limited slip differential. But off-road gauges like a compass or inclinometer are missing.

Read More
Value For Money

6

Priced at ₹12.74–15.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the Jimny is expensive for what it offers in terms of performance, space, and features. However, as a capable, compact off-roader with real charm and utility, it delivers where it matters most—off the road. It’s not for everyone, but it’s a unique and lovable niche SUV.

I need your expert opinion for my Maruti Suzuki Jimny 4x4 AT with 25,000km on odometer that I want to convert to CNG. Is it a good idea for such a vehicle with AT and 4x4? While using 4x4, I will ensure that the car runs on petrol. Secondly, what will be the impact on its resale value after 5 year or 7 years of usage compared to stock or with aftermarket CNG kit installed? Lastly, who is your most trusted authorized CNG fitment and service dealer in Bangalore?

Verified
5d

We would strongly advise against fitting an aftermarket CNG kit to your Jimny 4x4 AT. The Jimny’s 1.5-litre petrol engine is already modest in power, and adding CNG will further reduce performance, which will be particularly noticeable in a 4x4 automatic where power delivery is crucial. Even if you plan to switch to petrol when using 4x4, the overall ownership experience will be compromised. The Jimny is designed as a lifestyle off-roader, and modifying it with CNG goes against its intended use.From a resale perspective, an aftermarket CNG kit will almost certainly reduce the car’s value after 5-7 years. Buyers of the Jimny typically value its originality and off-road capability, and a CNG conversion is likely to be viewed as a negative modification. The resale impact will be greater than any fuel savings you might achieve over the ownership period.If your primary concern is running costs, it may be worth considering a more fuel-efficient vehicle rather than modifying the Jimny. If you are set on CNG, a factory-fitted CNG car is always the better option. As for trusted CNG fitment centres in Bangalore, we would not recommend any for this particular application, as we do not believe it is the right decision for this vehicle.

If both were priced identically, Jimny 5-door or Thar 3-door, which would actually make more sense for daily city use over the occasional weekend off-road trip.

Every festival season the parking situation near my society turns into a genuine puzzle. Anyone else's Jimny or similar sized car struggling to find spots this time of year.

Been eyeing the Jimny for almost 2 years and finally signed the papers today. Never owned a proper 4x4 before, still feels a bit surreal.

My monthly running is approximately 1,200 km, mostly within the Delhi-NCR region. My family includes my wife, my 11-year-old son, and my mother. I had to sell my beautifully maintained third-generation Honda City V MT because of the 15-year NGT rule in Delhi. In October 2024, I bought a Tata Punch EV S Long Range, which has proven to be tech-loaded, extremely economical to run, comfortable, and very convenient for navigating Delhi's congested roads. However, I still miss having an all-rounder with the character of the third-generation City, especially on highway drives. I have shortlisted two options: the Maruti Suzuki Swift MT and the Maruti Suzuki Jimny AT. I enjoy driving briskly, while staying within legal limits, on highways, which is why the Swift appeals to me. At the same time, my heart is set on Jimny for its classic looks and abilities. I plan to undertake long road trips to destinations such as Keran in Kashmir, Leh-Ladakh, Goa, Arunachal Pradesh, and other parts of the country. Considering my current usage, I may keep just one car in the garage, although I am also open to owning both an EV for city driving and an ICE car for highway trips. With this in mind, I would appreciate your expert advice on the best long-term choice.

Given your usage and aspirations, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny AT is the better fit. Your monthly running of 1,200 km in Delhi-NCR is well within petrol territory, and your intent to do long road trips to places like Leh and Arunachal points towards a car with capability rather than outright speed. The Swift is a fantastic highway car, but it is ultimately a hatchback and will not give you the sense of adventure or the ability to tackle rough terrain that the Jimny offers. The Jimny, on the other hand, is a purpose-built off-roader with a classic appeal, and it will allow you to explore the kind of destinations you have in mind with confidence. It is not the fastest car on the highway, nor is it spacious, but it is comfortable enough and excels when the going gets tough. Since you already have the Tata Punch EV for city duties, the Jimny can be your dedicated adventure vehicle, and you do not need to compromise by keeping only one car. This combination gives you the best of both worlds: an efficient city runabout and a characterful, capable highway explorer.
