Maruti Suzuki Jimny FAQs
Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Jimny - Answered by Autocar Experts
I want to buy a new SUV. I often drive on rough, hilly roads. My budget is below 15 lakh. I need a car that will last a long time.
If you aren't in need of something as hardcore, the Honda Elevate is an option to consider. It stands out amongst front-wheel drive SUVs thanks to a tough build and robust suspension that feels absorbent even on big potholes and poor roads.
I love the dimensions of the Jimny, and I feel they suit a city like Delhi very well. The car also has a lot more character in a market where Kia feels like Hyundai and Suzuki feels like Toyota. I am not a power paglu, so the Jimny’s calm performance is not a deal breaker for me. However, it does have some obvious issues - no armrest, no proper bottle holder, and it clearly needs a facelift. That brings me to my question: is a facelift expected anytime soon, or is it the end of the road for the Jimny?
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is small, and its size sure comes in handy on congested city roads. However, the Jimny has a large turning circle, so it's not as easy to drive as a hatchback or other compact SUVs would be.
While there is no facelift of this Maruti Suzuki car due soon, it's also not going to be discontinued for years to come. As for your other concerns, you can buy aftermarket accessories such as a centre armrest and bottle holders to make your Jimny more practical.
I’m planning to buy the Jimny. My primary use is city driving with occasional countryside trips once a month. Which transmission would be a better choice?
The Jimny is slightly down on power, and the manual gearbox helps extract a bit more performance by giving you direct control over gearshifts. However, the difference is quite marginal. Since most of your driving is in the city, we recommend going for the automatic version instead.
I’m planning to buy the Jimny Alpha Automatic, as I’ll be driving in both the city and hills. But my major concern is mileage - what kind of fuel efficiency can I expect?
The automatic version of the Jimny does return a lower mileage than the manual, however, by not too much of a margin. Maruti Jimny mileage is 16.94kpl for the manual and 16.39kpl for the automatic (claimed). In our instrumented real-world testing, the automatic Jimny returned 10.04kpl in the city and 13.56kpl on the highway, as against the manual, which returned 10.86kpl in the city and 14.74kpl on the highway.
