Although the much-anticipated Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door made its global debut at Auto Expo 2023, it has now begun arriving at Nexa dealerships, so we decided to cover up a full walkaround of the same and test the car comfort, seating, and overall look of the car. 
As a result of its distinctive design and five doors, the car piqued the interest of many customers at the showroom. The five-door model will go on sale in India in May 2023, followed by other markets.

Maruti Suzuki 5-door Jimny- Engine/ Transmission Options
The Jimny is powered by the same tested 1.5-litre petrol engine that powers the Ertiga, Brezza, and Ciaz. The engine produces 103bhp and 134Nm of torque, which powers the rear wheels. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The new Jimny’s main selling point is its 4WD capability. The SUV is equipped with the company’s AllGrip technology and a low-ratio transfer case, allowing the Jimny to travel on tuff-terrain roads.
Maruti Suzuki 5-door Jimny- Expected Pricing/ Rivals
Maruti is expected to price the Jimny around Rs 12 lakh, and it will go on sale in May 2023. While it will have no direct competitors at launch, Mahindra and Force are developing 5-door versions of the Thar and Gurkha, which will target a similar customer base as the Jimny 5-door.
Conclusion
Overall, the Suzuki Jimny is a great option for off-road enthusiasts who are looking for a compact, capable SUV. However, if you’re looking for a vehicle that is better suited for transporting passengers, you may want to look elsewhere. The limited width and lack of comfort in the rear seat are significant drawbacks of the Jimny that should be considered before purchasing. The Team Motor Planet concludes that the Jimny is a suitable option for 4 passengers.
