Maruti Suzuki Jimny Gets Major Price Slash and Thunder Edition to Boost Sales
In a move set to shake up the compact SUV market, Maruti Suzuki has announced unprecedented price cuts and a thrilling new variant for its much-loved Jimny. The carmaker, known for its strategic market maneuvers, has slashed prices on the Jimny SUV by a whopping Rs 2 lakh on the entry-level variant for a limited period, making it a highly competitive offering in its segment.
Maruti Jimny Old vs New Prices
Previously available at a discount of around Rs 1 lakh during the Diwali season, the Jimny’s entry-level Zeta MT variant is now priced at Rs 10.74 lakh (ex-showroom), down from Rs 12.74 lakh. This new pricing makes the Jimny nearly Rs 4 lakh more affordable than its counterpart, the entry-level Thar petrol 4WD MT with Hard top.
To further entice potential buyers and push sales, Maruti Suzuki has introduced the Jimny Thunder edition, which presents a package of additional accessories for an extra cost. This Thunder edition is available for customers opting for either the entry-level Jimny Zeta or the top-spec Jimny Alpha variants.
However, it’s important to note that these changes do not include any mechanical alterations. The Jimny continues to be powered by a 105hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine, available with a choice between a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Notably, all variants of the Jimny come standard with Suzuki’s ALLGrip 4WD technology. The standard features in the Jimny Zeta include steel wheels, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with safety features like six airbags and ESP.
Maruti Jimny Thunder Edition Features
Despite being a steady seller for Maruti, with sales averaging around 3,000 units a month, the Jimny aims to attract a wider audience with its revised pricing and the allure of the Thunder edition. Additionally, the made-in-India Jimny, manufactured in its five-door body style, continues to be exported in both left-hand drive (LHD) and right-hand drive (RHD) iterations to numerous international markets. The newly introduced Jimny Thunder edition brings an array of features and accessories to the table, elevating its appeal:
Front Bumper Garnish
Front Skid Plate
Side Door Cladding
Door Visor
Door Sill Guard
ORVM Garnish (Without Blinker)
Side Fender Garnish (Front and Rear)
Hood painted garnish
Grip Cover – Rustic Tan
Off-Roader Dual Stroke Finish
Steering Wheel – Tan
Graphic Design 1 color 1
Interior Styling Kit Mountain Big Door Garnish
Designer Mat (for AT) / All Weather 3D Mat (for MT)
The revised pricing and the Thunder edition’s additional features aim to attract more buyers to the Jimny lineup, offering a compelling alternative in the compact SUV segment.
