Lifestyle vehicles, more so off-roaders are picking some pace on the sales tally in our market. The Mahindra Thar has proved its mettle, and now, 2023 Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door is ready to reignite this segment for the good.

2023 Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door: Design


Cute, compact, and capable are the words that came to our mind when we first saw the 2023 Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door. It might not have the road presence of a Thar, but it does have the road presence that a stock Gypsy had. With a boxy design, things are largely upright. And, the Jimny is designed using a scale, except for its headlamps, which are circular in shape. Overall, the design looks appealing, and there will be a multitude of colour options too.
