Maruti Suzuki Jimny
Maruti SuzukiSUVPetrol
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is a compact 5-door off-road SUV designed around one clear priority: going where conventional SUVs struggle. Its 1.5-litre petrol engine drives all four wheels through the ALLGRIP PRO system, while the ladder-frame chassis, rigid-axle suspension and low-range transfer gear give it serious trail capability. It is also surprisingly manageable in urban conditions, although its small cabin, four-seat layout and modest highway performance limit its appeal as a conventional family SUV.
