Maruti Jimny is the newest entrant into the lightweight off-roading category in our market.
Digital automobile artists are finding it hard to keep their hands off the Maruti Jimny as they devise a pickup version of the lightweight SUV. The Jimny boasts a heritage that spans over five decades. In India, our first encounter with this legendary vehicle was through its second-generation variant, known as the Gypsy, which continues to enjoy a special status among off-road enthusiasts. Today, Maruti Suzuki presents the fourth-generation Jimny, notable for introducing a practical 5-door version—a significant milestone in its lineage. Let us take a look at the details of this digital illustration.

At the front, there are auxiliary lights on the bumper and roof, the bumper is cut out from the sides making it suitable for hardcore off-roading, there is a lift kit, roof rack, a snorkel, colossal wheels with off-roading-focused broad tyres, and pronounced wheel arches. At the rear, the second row has been removed in favour of a cargo compartment. Inside this compartment sits a Suzuki GSX-R superbike.
