Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door spied sans camouflage

The Jimny 5-door will compete with the Mahindra Thar 5-door and Force Gurkha.

The 5-door version of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny has been caught testing once again. This time, an uncamouflaged test mule was spotted in Lahaul, Himachal Pradesh.

The test car seen in these images looks production ready. It is finished in the Kinetic Yellow exterior shade and has black wheel arches, bumpers and a black spare wheel cover.

According to media reports, the Jimny could be offered with the older K15B petrol engine with mild-hybrid tech instead of the newer K15C unit. The engine will be paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic and Suzuki’s All Grip Pro all-wheel drive system.

It has also been reported that the Jimny 5-door is likely to go on sale in India around August 2023. However, prior to its launch, the SUV could be showcased at the upcoming Auto Expo.
