The SUV competes with rivals like Mahindra Thar in the lifestyle SUV segment. The Mahindra Thar is currently available in a three-door guise and a five-door variant of the homegrown SUV is already in the pipeline. Since the launch of the Jimny, Maruti Suzuki faced criticism over the SUV's pricing strategy, which remains a major hurdle in boosting the model's sales numbers. In an attempt to boost its retail figures, the automaker even launched a Thunder Edition, which came as affordable as ₹10.74 lakh (ex-showroom).
