The all new Maruti Suzuki Jimny 2025 has finally been launched in India. It’s tough, has great 4×4 capability, and features like a modern infotainment system make it a good mix of adventure and utility. Designed for the off roader but tuned for urban convenience this SUV combines the old with the new.
Bold Design That Stands Out
The boxy silhouette is still there for the Jimny 2025 but it got a modern treatment. The SUV appears muscular and tough, with fairly rugged looking lines on a compact yet strong frame. An upright design, rounded LED headlamps, clamshell bonnet and black alloy wheels ensure it’s impossible to ignore.
The 5-door also offers practicality, well-suited to family or rear passenger access. The image is completed by the spare wheel on the tailgate and a nice overall ground clearance.
Engine and Performance
Powering the Jimny 2025 is the 1.5-litre K15B petrol mill which produces 105 PS and 134 Nm of torque. ( It couples with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission depending on trim level .) What really separates it from the pack is the AllGrip Pro 4×4 system with low-range transfer gear (4L mode), underscoring that this vehicle can easily climb mountains, plough through mud trails, and handle difficult terrains. it’s tiny yet packs the punch of a full-on off-roader.
Fuel economy is quite good for an SUV of this class, delivering the equivalent of 16.5 km/l in combined driving, which is great for those weekend road trips to the cottage.
Interior and Comfort
The interior of the Jimny 2025 is meant to be both functional, and incorporate modern technology. The dashboard looks simple but strong and comes with 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Not being resistive helps the touchscreen be more responsive and adds an overall premium feel.
The seats are comfortable and visibility excellent, particularly in city traffic or when going off-road. Despite its small size, four adults fit inside just fine. Boot volume is approximately 208 litres, enough for light luggage, and capacity can be extended with folding rear seats.
Safety and Features
The Jimny has the following safety features:
- Six airbags
- ABS with EBD
- I do not like setting 24/7 Equally Stability Program (ESP)
- Hill Hold Assist
- Hill Descent Control
- Rear parking camera
This will offer the vehicle the capability to focus on off-road performance as well as the convenience of a reliable city drive. The ladder frame chassis means it’s tough as boots (boots that are family-friendly with even brake assist and ISOFIX mountings too) and doesn’t even flinch when things get tough.
Driving Experience
The steering is responsive, and the suspension is nicely tuned for rough roads — and city potholes. Owing to its short wheelbase and a tight turning circle, the Jimny feels surprisingly easy to thread through tight urban confines. It has a ride quality that is a bit on the firm side, especially on highways, but that’s what you would expect from an off-road king.
It’s not supposed to be a high-speed cruiser, but it is a comfortable and confident drive on city speed limit roads and a star off road.
Variants and Price
The Jimny 2025 is available in two main trims:
- Zeta
- Alpha
Both come with manual and automatic options. The price starts from ₹12.74 lakh and goes up to ₹15.05 lakh (ex-showroom). Though a bit premium compared to other compact SUVs, its 4×4 capability justifies the price tag.
Final Verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny 2025 is not just a car; it’s a statement. Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast, someone who travels to hilly regions frequently, or simply want an SUV with character, the Jimny delivers on all fronts.
- True 4×4 performance
- Iconic design
- Modern tech and safety
- Compact size for city use
- Adventure-ready capabilities
If you’re looking for a capable SUV that’s rugged, reliable, and fun to drive, the Jimny 2025 should be at the top of your list.
