Suzuki has just launched the 5-door version of the Jimny in the Indonesian market. It is very similar to the India-spec model. In fact, it is being built in India and exported to Indonesia. Having said that, the only difference that the Jimny 5-door gets is the absence of a push-button to start/stop the engine.

The rest of the vehicle is identical to the one that is being sold in the Indian market. So, the engine is the same 1.5-litre, naturally aspirated petrol engine that puts out a modest 103 bhp of max power at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque output of 134 Nm at 4,000 rpm. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Suzuki offers a 4-wheel drive powertrain as standard.

In the Indian market, Maruti Suzuki sells the Jimny 5-door in two variants - Zeta and Alpha. Both variants are offered with the optional automatic transmission. The Jimny is priced between 12.74 lakh and 14.95 lakh in India. Both prices are ex-showroom.

The Jimny 5-door is not selling in the numbers that the manufacturer hoped for. A few reasons behind this are the lack of road presence due to the smaller size and lack of a diesel engine. Moreover, the price is the key factor that disappointed most people who were excited about the SUV when it was first announced at Auto Expo 2023.
