With the Jimny, Maruti Suzuki is aiming to continue the legacy of making thoroughbred off-roaders, which it pursued with the bare-bones Gypsy in the bygone decades. However, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny is a more modern and practical take on pure off-roaders, with decent modern features and the practicality of a proper five-door, four-seater vehicle. 

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny designed and engineered for the Indian car market is a five-door derivative of the three-door Jimny. It is on sale in the global markets for more than four years now. The Jimny has an upright and boxy stance, making it look like a traditional off-roader. However, the unique neo-retro design language of the Jimny makes it an attention magnet.

The Jimny comes with rounded headlamps, which in the top-spec variants come with LED projectors and daytime running light. The Jimny also comes with 15-inch gunmetal grey alloy wheels, flared wheel arches with cladding over them and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.
