Maruti Suzuki Jimny: this car has captured the hearts of off-road enthusiasts in India with its compact size, capable 4×4 system and unmistakeable charm. As we look to 2025, curiosity is growing for the next version of this beloved SUV. This preview explores the possibilities and expectations surrounding the 2025 Maruti Jimny, including everything from its expected design and performance to its potential features in India and the target audience.
Design
The 2025 Maruti Jimny is expected to maintain its distinctive boxy silhouette and strong appeal, which is a key element of its widespread popularity. However, design enhancements are likely to give it a more great look. Perhaps imagine a sophisticated front fascia with redesigned LED headlights and daytime running lights, a more modern grille design, and subtle updates to the bumper. There may be some variations in the side profile that will increase the overall proportion of the Jimny without sacrificing its compact dimensions. The rear section can also be freshened with updated taillights and a more striking tailgate.
Ready to perform
The 2025 Maruti Jimny is expected to focus on off-road capability. A sophisticated petrol engine is likely to be with advances in technology such as better fuel injection or light-hybrid systems for better efficiency. The focus will be on good performance for on-road driving, as well as providing enough torque to tackle challenging terrain. A smooth-shifting gearbox, either manual or automatic, is expected, and the Jimny’s 4×4 system will undoubtedly upgrade with a low-range transfer case, making it a true off-road machine. The suspension system is likely to be tuned in both on- and off-road conditions, providing a balance between comfort and capacity. The 2025 Jimny is expected to be ready to cross any route coming into India.
Features
The Jimny has traditionally focussed more on functionality than luxury, but the 2025 model is expected to offer a blend of both. Modern features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, perhaps with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, are likely to be introduced with smartphone connectivity. It will allow access to navigation, music, calls, and other apps. Other expected features include automatic climate control, multi-function steering wheel, power windows and keyless entry. Safety features such as multiple airbags, ABS, electronic stabilisation control (ESC) and hill descent control are expected to be standardised. Maruti may also offer some innovative features, such as a sunroof, wireless charging or connected car technology, that will further enhance the Jimny’s appeal without compromising its original character.
Price
The price of the 2025 Maruti Jimny will be a major factor in its success in the competitive Indian automotive market. Maruti Suzuki is known for offering value-for-money products, and the 2025 Jimny is also expected to follow the same trend. With its sophisticated design, capable engine options, extensive features and a focus on off-road capability, the Jimny is likely to offer an attractive package for Indian buyers.
