Juxtaposing the 2 Images with the Old thar, Maybe we can compare the 2 real world pics for actual size.



Comparing the Dimensions..



The 500kg advantage over the Thar should make the Jimny a nimble machine. But when??



Turbo Needed for that Torque

There is a difference in c pillars of jimny 5 door from two different sources. In the earlier leaks, the C pillar was concealed and the middle and rear window glasses were made to look one long piece which looks really interesting..

The media in Japan is wrong. The 5 door version has not even entered prototype stage. The 3 door version has huge international back orders(by Suzuki standards) that are being catered to by both Indian and Japanese production. It won't see the light of the day in the Indian markets before 2023 as per me as I have a fair idea of J OEM development cycle.

3-Door Maruti Suzuki Jimny India Launch Likely In Early 2022.

the existing three-door model will more likely debut and it could have some India-specific changes. The Jimny could be powered by the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder K15B petrol engine producing a maximum power output of 104.7 PS and 138 Nm of peak torque and it could be linked with a five-speed manual or a four-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

Thats great news. Now lets see how Maruti pitch this 3 door model.
If it is portrayed as cheaper, entry level variant to jimny/gypsy range, than it would be worth effort to go for 1.2l engine as it would lead to tax benefits(cheaper to own), better mileage and sufficient differentiation to more expensive and practicle 5 door variant.
If Maruti is gonna place it as more cheerful/lifestyle oriented vehicle with 1.5l engine, then they have sufficiently differentiate it from 5 door model as it will not be too cheap to own and run, and will at disadvantage because of being 3 door and less practicle/spacious.

SUV's on the anvil of launch:

[volkman10]

Ideas user TzyHerr91 built a LEGO model of the Jimny.

The result is stunning:

he managed to accurately reproduce both the exterior and the interior of the (seemingly) simple SUV.

The LEGO Jimny features the front grille with vertical openings, those round headlamps and independent indicators, and the clamshell bonnet.

His creation also mimics the interior of the real car, down to every switch and button.

The miniature car comes with sliding and folding seats, and you can even see the specific ladder frame, an iconic element of the Jimny.

The LEGO creator built his SUV with customization in mind, so you can open the doors and car bonnet, fold the rear seats, play with the steerable wheels and independent suspension, remove the hood to get a better look inside the vehicle, and more.

Thanks volkman for keeping this thread alive for more than two years, that's one diehard fan!

Only if Maruti put in half that effort in getting this car to market.

I hope that's a poor chop job done by an individual to create a Jimny limo. That looks even less proportionate than the Force Toofan test vehicles.

Seems like an aftermarket conversion. Here's another one that I found:

EDIT: Here's another one, and this doesn't looks like an aftermarket chop job.
