Have you ever imagined the Maruti Jimny in a dual-cab pickup truck guise? Well, worry not, we are about to share it with you in this post. Jimny is one of the most successful lightweight off-roading SUVs in the world. It has a rich legacy of over 5 decades. After World War 2, it has been in demand among the civilians. Its craze is sky-high even until today. Note that in the international markets, Jimny was always available in a 3-door version. But for the first time in its history, it comes as a practical 5-door SUV for the Indian market. For now, let us take a look at the details of this unique iteration.

Maruti Jimny Dual-Cab Pickup Truck
This rendering stems from Motospot bw on Facebook. The designer has tried hard to keep the essence of Jimny alive but added a practical cargo bed at the rear. At the front, this Jimny has round headlamps, a sturdy bumper with fog lamps, an upright and boxy bonnet and an eminent grille with chrome vertical slates. On the sides, one gets to witness the flaring wheel arches, side steps to ease ingress and egress characteristics, two doors (hence the dual-cab layout) and an extended rear section to accommodate the cargo bed. At the rear, there are modest taillamps and Suzuki lettering on the boot door. All in all, this Jimny dual-cabin pickup truck certainly looks believable.
Specs
Maruti Jimny possesses a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine which generates a decent 103 hp and 134 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine pairs with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Being a true off-roader, it comes with Suzuki’s trademark ALLGRIP PRO 4×4 system to tackle any obstacles in the terrain. A high ground clearance of 210 mm helps to drive over most undulations on the surface. The approach, breakover, and departure angles are 36°, 24°, and 50°, respectively. Maruti Jimny retails between Rs 12.74 lakh and Rs 14.95 lakh, ex-showroom.
