Maruti Suzuki Nexa Jimny 5-door Bookings Open - Auto Expo 2023

Maruti Suzuki today opened bookings for the 5-door 2023 Jimny SUV. According to the Maruti Nexa website, the booking amount is Rs. 11,000 irrespective of the car you select. The launch/price reveal is likely to happen by the end of March and deliveries could start in April.

Since the Jimny is a new category of product from Maruti Suzuki, it might take the carmaker some time to gauge the customer response to the marketing campaigns reflect in the bookings. Therefore, it could launch a month after the Nexa Fronx.

Currently, the Jimny is the most affordable 5-door off-roader in the market. The Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha are only available in the 3-door configuration. However, Mahindra are going to reveal more details about the Thar 5-door in January 2023. The pricing of the Thar 5-door could greatly impact the Jimny’s sales and bookings volume. So, we should expect Maruti Suzuki officials to closely follow the Mahindra Thar’s progress since the launch of the 2WD variants a few days ago.

The Jimny will come with a 1.5L normal petrol engine making 105PS of power at 6000rpm and 135Nm of torque at 4000rpm. It gets the option of a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission and 4WD as standard.

The Jimny’s prime rival, the Mahindra Thar offers 3 engine options but the one, which is likely to pose a serious threat to the Jimny’s success is the Thar’s 2WD variant. It gets the 1.5L turbo diesel engine, 3-door layout and rear-wheel drivetrain. Its iconic styling and a punchy but efficient turbo diesel engine make up for the pair of missing doors and the lack of 4-wheel drivetrain.
