Made-in-India Suzuki Jimny 5-door to get ADAS in Australia

All new cars sold in Australia are required to have autonomous emergency braking system.

Maruti Suzuki recently launched the Jimny 5-door in India. The off-roader is also set to go on sale in the Australian market soon but will have one major difference.

The Australia-spec Jimny 5-door will be largely similar to the Indian version. However, both versions widely differ when it comes to safety features. Unlike the Jimny 5-door sold in India, the SUV will get Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The ADAS suite includes safety features like autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and high beam assist. Now, it is worth pointing out that the Australian government recently mandated that all new cars introduced from March 2023 onwards need to be equipped with autonomous emergency braking as standard.

In India, the Jimny is only offered with a basic set of safety features like 6 airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, ESP, Hill Hold Control, Hill Descent Control and a rearview camera.
