A compact off-roader that once conquered impossible landscapes continues to do so, better than ever. The Jimny is a relentless tale that inspired generations to reach beyond the supposed end of the road, and tread along unfazed. From the 1970s all the way to the present, this little off-roader has made its presence felt in 199 countries across the world and has garnered quite a cult following owing to its unique dimensions and capabilities. The Kei Car Origins The Jimny began as a Kei car, a vehicle category in Japan for the smallest highway-legal passenger cars, with restricted dimensions and engine capacity. Suzuki adapted the Hope Motor Company’s Hopestar ON360 for making the first Jimny. The body shell was redesigned and Suzuki FB air-cooled 359 cc twin cylinder two stroke unit was installed to power the little car. It could only have 3 seats as the spare wheel was placed inside the body to comply with the Kei car limits. Apart from the 4-wheel Drive system, the Jimny featured high and low range gearing from the first generation itself. The first gen Jimny was a success with almost 5000 units being sold in Japan. Jimny, Samurai, Drover… Gypsy! When the second generation was launched in 1981, the Jimny scrambled out of its Kei car dimensions and had export versions under different names such as Chevrolet Samurai and Holden Drover. The extended wheelbase version India got is the popular Maruti Gypsy. And the export versions got Suzuki’s F10A 970 cc SOHC 8-valve engine. Later it got the 1.3L DOHC G13BB 16-valve engine or an 8-valve G13BA producing 70 hp. Add a Tinge of Style The third generation Jimny which was introduced in 1998 featured a modern bodywork and an aerodynamic design. This new generation vehicle featured coil springs with three-link suspension, and either a four or five speed manual all synchromesh gearbox depending on the market and when produced. The four-wheel drive high and low were selected via buttons on the dashboard as opposed to a gear lever in the previous generations. This Jimny also made giant strides in the comfort department with better ride quality and seats. Tough and Cute The 4th generation of Jimny was launched in 2018 to unprecedented global acclaim. The smoother bodywork of the third generation was completely abandoned in favour of the more boxy utilitarian lines. Even the interiors got more of such design elements and the 4 wheel high and low selector got a gear. And it inherited design elements from the past iteration – like the round headlight and independent indicators from the 1st generation, horizontal double slit design below the A-pillar from the 2nd generation, front grille with vertical openings from all three generations, and rear combination lamps gathered at the bumper like the 2nd generation. This Jimny is powered by the 1.5L K15B engine. Its 5-door version was launched in India in 2023. The new Jimny while staying true to its roots in its capabilities offers great comfort and on-road drivability. It also comes with a host of safety features and electronics like ABS, Hill Hold, Hill Descent Control and Brake LSD. The journey of Jimny has been legendary. And even after the evolution of half a century, it stays true to its roots and remains a humble and affordable off-roader. That’s the secret behind its relevance

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is the perfect combination of quirks and convenience. When its current avatar was introduced to the world in 2016, it was as fresh as a morning cup of cappuccino. And its flavour still stands original and undistilled in the Indian market. There’s nothing like it in the segments above or below. The tale of Ignis thus proceeds on to the future as another classic from Maruti Suzuki’s stable. A Personality Afire Ignis, the name has its origin in Latin, meaning fire. This compact urban SUV was designed from the grounds up to have a fiery personality, in the way it looks and how it handles. It’s a perfect fit in every urban canvas, courtesy to its compact dimensions and clean lines. A similar approach is carried on to the interiors too. The dashboard features more straight lines than curves. And the addition of a premium looking automatic climate control segment gives it a feel that is cut above the rest of the Maruti Suzuki cars. The Space Surprise Compact is the keyword when it comes to referring to Ignis. With its small footprints, short overhangs and narrow stance, it can be easily mistaken for being a little too small of a car. But once you step in, the sense of space is almost surprising. The tall stance and cleverly engineered interiors gives you abundant comfort in seating with great knee room, head room, ample thigh support and the much needed roomy feeling. Even the boot carrying capacity is great for its size. So once you get in, it is not a small car anymore. A Match Made in Heaven Ignis performs exactly as it looks – peppy & quick on its feet. The 1.2L K-series 4 cylinder engine is just the perfect thing to exist under the hood of this little car. It’s smooth, silent, responsive, frugal and unmistakably powerful. The engine is paired to manual and AMT gearboxes. The engine perfectly complements your city and highway duties. Indeed a match made in heaven! Ergos Perfected Buying your car and living with it are entirely different cases to deal with during car ownership. You can pinpoint the positives and negatives to a certain extent. But once the car becomes a part of your everyday, certain things get more clear, like the reach to the buttons, the view from the driver’s seat, etc. The Ignis got it sorted all-round. The placement of buttons, the ease with which you can get in and out, placement of levers, the seating comforts and hundreds of such little things slowly dawns on you and makes living with it a blissful and careless affair. The Maruti Suzuki Ignis, thus, is a very unique car that can fulfil so many duties with elan – a city commuter for your grocery shopping and a fun highway rider. It even handles mild offroads with little trouble, courtesy to its high ground clearance and smart approach and departure angles.

We are a blessed lot. Our country is a complete package when it comes to the collection of landscapes and terrains. And that makes travelling so much more worth it. And in those travels, sometimes, absurd curiosities can wellspring within us that persuades us to take a detour off the road – to find out what lies beyond, how far can we leave the tarmac behind, or how the world looks from atop a hill that we saw through the car window. Talking about having an adventure? That’s just the beginning.  And the Mountains Echoed The tales of Jimny begin where the roads end. Those tales have been passed down from generation to generation since 1970 when the first iteration of Jimny hit the world. It’s been a ride. Jimny has now reached its fourth generation spreading the tales that resounded in the cities, country roads, trails, and hills alike. And we Indians tasted the Jimny in its popular Gypsy avatar and we still savour it to the fullest.  The Perfect Tool to Conquer Landscapes From the beginning, the idea of Jimny was simple. And it still is. To be light, compact, capable and extremely affordable. Jimny doesn’t play itself into a particular class of vehicle, rather it creates a class of its own. The AllGrip PRO 4×4 capability is not just an extension of its lifestyle charm, but its identity itself. The Jimny is equipped with Brake Limited Slip Differential, Hill Hold Assist, and Hill Descent Control to assist you when the occasion arrives.  Rugged & Reliable Yes. The Jimny is equipped with essential electronics. But don’t let it fool you. Because underneath the very welcoming nature is a rugged and tested Ladder Frame chassis and a capable powertrain that takes a life of its own when treading the unbeaten paths. The 1.5-litre engine is a tried and tested unit that can take you to that last milestone and back with ultimate capability and reliability. It is mated to 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission options. And the rigid axle suspension lets your tire have perfect contact with the soil in rough road conditions. The Exotic Everyday The Jimny doesn’t try to impose its presence upon the spectators, rather it attracts attention from its uniqueness.It feels at home in the city streets while still being a true-blue off-roader, courtesy of its narrow dimensions and great visibility. The new 5-door iteration makes it ready for everyday errands, the comfortable seats make you feel at home, and the purpose-built interiors tolerate the rough use making life with Jimny an easy affair. Blend In, Stand Out The Jimny comes in a variety of colours. The Granite Grey brings it a certain level of maturity, the Bluish Black gives it an elegant outlook, the Pearl Arctic White sure does bring an air of superiority, the NEXA Blue makes it stick to the brand, and the Sizzling Red is going to grab great attention. But in its signature colour the Kinetic Yellow, the Jimny displays its uniqueness in full capacity and stays distinct from whatever is out there on the road. Depending on the colour you choose, your ride can be flashy or less conspicuous. But, we assure that you cannot completely avoid attention because it’s a Jimny. The bookings are open for Jimny at Sarathy NEXA showrooms. If you are still in doubt, just think about how cute it looks!

The front is all-black with just a chrome strip. The side profile is entirely blacked out with only a hint of red from the tail lamps. The theme is further complemented by the alloys that are completely black. There’s hardly any difference between the  Swift CNG Black Edition and other editions as it includes all its prime features such as LED headlights, blacked-out pillars, turn indicators positioned on the ORVM, a rear wiper with washer, and many others. It also has silver alloy wheels with a similar wheel style to the standard ZXI model.
