The Jimny is exported along with 16 other models by Maruti Suzuki from its local production facilities; demand skyrocketed in global markets
Maruti Suzuki has added another feather to its export cap with the Jimny 5-door surpassing cumulative exports of one lakh units. The SUV, which first rolled out of the company’s Indian manufacturing line in 2023, has rapidly become a global success story, finding homes in more than 100 countries including Japan, Mexico, Australia, South Africa and Chile.
Interestingly, the India-built Jimny 5-door is now Maruti Suzuki’s second most exported model – just behind the Fronx. When the model made its Japan debut in early 2025 under the “Jimny Nomade” badge, demand skyrocketed. Within days, bookings reportedly crossed the 50,000 mark – an indication of how well the SUV resonated with one of the most discerning automotive markets in the world.
Underneath its upright and old school exterior, the Jimny 5-door uses a ladder frame chassis and comes equipped with Suzuki’s ALLGRIP PRO four-wheel-drive system. Power comes from a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. It gets a choice of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission while a low-range transfer case is offered as standard.
