Maruti continues to be a popular brand in the Indian market. However, it has dominated the market of small cars only. Now, the company is aggressively expanding into the SUV segment and it has several models in the works. Now, a Maruti Jimny 7-Seater Variant has been spotted on the road with a Red finish. This hints at the imminent launch. However, it is not yet confirmed if the Maruti Jimny 7-seater will come with 4X4 as standard or as a separate option.

Maruti Jimny 7-Seater Debut Likely at Auto Expo 2023
After the success of Brezza and Vitara, Maruti is all set to launch a Baleno Cross and 5-door Jimny. The 7-Seater SUV was recently spotted. In all likelihood, the new model will debut at Auto Expo 2023 in January next year. The test mules have been seen in a 7-seat layout as well as a 5-door version. The spy shots have been captured by Rahul Matneja and Riding Roots Adventure. The company is clearly trying to cash in on the popularity of lifestyle off-roading vehicles. The 3-door Maruti Jimny is already popular in the international markets.
As you can see in the images above, the Maruti Jimny 7-Seater variant features front-facing seats. This means that the upcoming car will be more of a family SUV than an off-roading vehicle. The extra seats will be an added attraction for Indian customers. It is quite likely that the 3rd-row seats will be foldable and owners will be able to increase boot space if needed. Additional features include a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted controls, rear AC vents, and a USB charging port.
With off-roading capabilities and red interiors, the upcoming SUV is likely to attract young customers. The company is said to offer red upholstery with top-spec variants. Additionally, it is likely to be the next guinea pig for modification enthusiasts. The Maruti Jimny clearly resembles the Mercedes-Benz G Class. In fact, a Jimny owner in London has converted his car into a mini Brabus G63 AMG. More such conversions are likely to come after the Jimny 7-seater hits the Indian markets.

Specs & Features
The Maruti Jimny 7-Seater variant will be powered by a 1.5L K15 motor that offers 100 bhp of max power and 130 Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a 4×4 system with a low-range transfer case. Along with a range of creature comforts on the inside, the Jimny will come with ample approach/ departure/ break-over angles and clearance. It is based on a rigid ladder frame and offers 210mm of ground clearance. Additionally, the off-roading vehicle is said to sport a 3-link rigid axle suspension with coil spring.
The Maruti Jimny 7-Seater Variant is expected to be launched at the 2023 Auto Expo in January next year. It will be launched alongside the 5-door variant. While the price has not been revealed as yet, Maruti is likely to offer an affordable price compared to the 3-door version. However, unlike the 3-door model, the 5-door Jimny might not get 4X4 as standard. The upcoming SUV will compete with the likes of the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door and Force Gurkha 5-door (both of which are also undergoing tests currently).
