In the clip, the 5-door off-roader is visible with larger mag wheels. A 5-spoke design for the new alloy wheels is chosen by the owner. Thanks to the Jimny’s large squarish wheel arches, the rims fit well with sufficient space left in the wheel well for articulation. The Jimny comes with a 15-inch rim from the factory, which is wrapped in 195-80 section tyre. Although the tyre size is small and puny, it is a highway-rated tyre. Consequently, more owners are expected to slap on off-road-ready rubber on the Jimny.


Powering the Jimny is a 1.5L K-series engine with Idle Start Stop technology and tuned to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission option. It offers a fuel-efficiency of 16.94 kmpl for 5-speed MT and 16.39 kmpl for 4-speed AT and comes with a permanent ALLGRIP PRO (4WD).
