Maruti Jimny is the latest 5-door off-roading SUV in our market which was recently spotted in the Delhi floods.
In the latest incident, a Maruti Jimny was seen making its way through the horrifying floods that have engulfed Delhi. We witness terrifying scenes from the national capital on a daily basis these days. The Yamuna river is flowing at an alarming level and there is water accumulation in many societies and parts of the city causing havoc. Still, some people need to travel to other places which is why we witness their vehicles stuck in water quite often. Now Jimny might be a hardcore off-roading SUV which is designed for extreme terrains and harsh conditions but watching these visuals highlight the perils involved in it.

Maruti Jimny in Delhi Floods
This video clip has been uploaded by Munishsardana9695 on YouTube. It captures some disturbing images from the national capital. We have seen in the news over the past few days how ugly the condition due to waterlogging has become. Tons of people have been displaced from their homes to safer locations. We see the forceful water dragging away parked vehicles from the roads. But some people voluntarily attempt to drive in such extreme conditions which might not be a good idea. That is exactly what we see in this video. A Jimny is being driven amidst water where no route is visible. Somehow, it glides through with relative ease. Still, we wouldn’t recommend anyone attemp this.

Specs
The Maruti Jimny is equipped with a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated K15B petrol engine that generates a respectable 103 hp and 134 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine can be paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The power is distributed to all four wheels through Suzuki’s well-known ALLGRIP PRO 4×4 drivetrain, which includes a low-range transfer case and a locking differential. With a ground clearance of 210 mm and approach, break-over, and departure angles of 36°, 24°, and 50° respectively, the Jimny is well-equipped for off-road adventures. The prices for the vehicle range from Rs 12.74 lakh to Rs 15.05 lakh, ex-showroom, making it an attractive option.

What We Think
Our stance on such things is very clear. We urge all our readers to never get involved in such idiotic acts. When we know the condition is so terrible, there is no point in going out of your house. There are tons of issues with driving a vehicle in such high water levels. First of all, the visibility is zero. You barely know where the road is. As a result, you could easily land in trouble and cause an accident and injury to yourself and to the car. Moreover, there is a chance of a hydrostatic lock where in the electronics could malfunction and you could get stuck inside the vehicle. Therefore, we would like to recommend our readers to stay away from such situations and discourage such careless behaviour.
