| ![]() Anybody know when we might actually be able to throw down money and buy one? I would like to know so that its delivery day does not fall on the same days that they deliver my G-Wagon and my Bentley Flying Spur. |

| ![]() They must be cursing internally looking at the numbers of THAR. What stopped them to launch a 3 Door version is a mystery. But they being giant can do anything, the way they gave Hyundai and Kia a free run. Had somebody taken the efforts to develop a local grand vitara 5 years before, they could have restricted Koreans. |

I believe that is just Maruti being Maruti. And perfectly in line with mind boggling decisions one after another. Them and Toyota, they just leave you scratching your head. Market is hot, if not sustainable over long term they would have certainly cashed in on current wave bolstered by Thar. Pfft. |

BANNED | ![]() Do yourself a favour, Maruti. Just forget it. The market has moved on. You can't match Thar's dual fuel, dual roof, dual transmission variants anyway. Besides, SUV is all about macho butch looks and your Bonsai SUV would be just no match for Thar, however capable Jimny maybe. |

Given a choice I would choose the Jimny over Thar. This gen Jimny already is a modern classic and has better offroad credentials than Thar. If they launch an MT is a given so I pray they do oblige the AT crowd too. Size be damned can be a blessing in disguise. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My preference is of course a Jimny any day over that new SUV named Thar. Either Jimny or a last batch Thar DI should do. I've no heart to drag around all that new gen bulk when I'm out and about. Both Jimny and DI can give me the blank canvas to electrify later as well. The market is very much there, just looking for the light. I just hope they get around to release the 3-door. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Three door and 5 door Jimny for India: - Maruti Suzuki would need additional volumes, and thanks to the opportunity of building the Jimny in India for exports, the Jimny seems to be finally on track for a market launch in India. -In addition to the standard three door version, a made-in-India five-door Jimny is in the works too and this model will be primarily targeted for the Indian market. - The Jimny 5-door will be no different to the 3-door model as far as underpinnings go. It will also be built on a ladder-frame chassis and employ four-wheel drive with low-range transfer case. - Jimny will be sold via Maruti Suzuki's premium Nexa dealership chain.

| ![]() Like @Sankar and@SandyX I will wait it out for the Jimney, once MS starts evaluation let's hope against hope to get to see this by diwali. A 1.2L or 1.5L 4×4 AT 3 door will be on my wishlist. |

| ![]() Why is that whatever I wish to own never gets released here in India ![]() There's a ray of hope for Renegade through PSA- FCA merger. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ml#post4997241 (Jeep B-Segment Compact SUV: Here are more details) |
