India's most capable lifestyle off-roader — rugged 4x4 with iconic retro styling
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is unlike anything else Maruti sells — a proper, body-on-frame 4x4 off-roader with genuine rough-terrain capability and a retro design that has become iconic worldwide. In India, the 5-door version makes it practical enough for daily use while retaining the Jimny's off-road credentials.
With a 4-wheel drive system featuring low-range gearing, the Jimny can tackle terrain that defeats most compact SUVs. This makes it genuinely unique in its price range — no other car under ₹20 lakh in India offers comparable off-road ability.
It comes at a compromise — only 4 seats, modest boot space and average fuel efficiency — but for adventure enthusiasts and off-road lovers, these trade-offs are entirely worthwhile.
Tap any variant to see exactly what's included and what's missing. Every single variant gets genuine 4WD (AllGrip Pro) with low-range gearing as standard — there's no 2WD Jimny.
| Car | Price | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Mahindra Thar | ₹11–17L | Also genuine off-roader, more powerful diesel, 4 seats |
| Force Gurkha | ₹16–18L | More hardcore off-roader, less refined on-road |
| Mahindra Thar Roxx | ₹13–22L | 5-seater off-roader with more everyday practicality |
