Made-In-India Maruti Suzuki Jimny To Be Sold In Japan

It is important to note that India is the only country where the Jimny 5-Door is being manufactured. We were also the first market to get the Jimny 5-Door. Currently, the SUV is exported to multiple LHD and RHD markets globally.

In the Japanese market, the 5-door version of the SUV will be dubbed the ‘Jimny Nomade’. As per the reports, there will be very minimal changes to the India-spec model for the Japanese market, mostly to comply with the local norms. Even the colour options and features on offer will be familiar. The Jimny Nomade will be powered by the 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine in the same state of tune, paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. Suzuki All-Grip 4WD system will be standard across all variants.

Made-In-India Suzuki Jimny’s First Shipment Reaches Japan

The first shipment of the India-made Jimny 5-Door has already reached Japan and the company will start the distribution to the dealerships in the coming days. Currently, only the Jimny 3-Door is on offer in the Japanese market. There are two versions of the Jimny 3-Door in Japan i.e. Standard and Sierra. The Jimny standard gets a 660cc petrol engine while the Jimny Sierra is powered by the familiar 1.5 litre K15B petrol unit.
