India-bound Jimny 5-door models are anticipated to have tough design cues including clamshell bonnets, front grilles with vertical apertures, circular headlights with independent indicators, and rear combo lamps. Additionally, Suzuki is anticipated to include contemporary technologies like a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
The company's 1.5-litre four-cylinder K15B naturally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 103 bhp of power and 138 Nm of torque, would probably be made available for the 5-door Jimny.

AllGrip all-wheel drive from Suzuki can be available as standard.
According to reports, Maruti Suzuki would offer Jimny for a reasonable starting price of roughly Rs 10 lakh. In the Indian market, the Jimny will face off against the Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha. However, only the 3-door version of the Thar and Gurkha are now offered.
