Maruti Suzuki Jimny is ready to knock on our doors, as the launch is right around the corner. The company has recently revealed that it has received over 30,000 bookings for the compact off-roader. Interestingly, buyers are showing an equal split between the automatic and manual variants of the car. For starters, the Jimny is available with both manual and automatic transmissions - 5-speed MT and 4-speed AT. The Jimny is quintessentially a Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha rival, however, it is expected to go against the slew of compact SUVs as well due to its positioning in the Indian market.
