For SUV enthusiasts who have the Maruti Jimny in their sights, the month presents a surprising chance. The manufacturer has announced a flat ₹1 lakh cash discount on the Jimny Alpha model. This is a clean cut with no strings attached, hence the most attractive offer. Jimny is renowned for off-road capability rather than price. Therefore, this action by Maruti is surprising. It is a rare value proposition in the lifestyle SUV segment.
Powertrain: Designed for the Trails
The Jimny Alpha uses a 1.5-litre, four-pot K15B petrol mill with mild-hybrid technology. It makes 105 hp and 134 Nm of torque, tuned to handle off-road escapades. There are two transmission options — a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic. The SUV’s 4×4 drivetrain is one of its biggest selling points, getting it prepared for bad roads and hill climbs.
Fuel Figures and Mileage Talk
Notwithstanding being a brutal SUV, the Jimny achieves modest efficiency due to its mild-hybrid configuration. Maruti has not placed mileage as the pick of the day, but the Jimny has an adequate compromise between performance and fuel consumption for a petrol-driven off-roader.
Comfort, Features, and Tech Inside
The Jimny Alpha has a tough and functional outside. It has alloy wheels, LED auto headlamps with washers, fog lamps, deep green tinted glass, and body-coloured handles. It is designed to be used for off-roading, and it has steel wheels, drip rails, and front/rear welded tow hooks.
The Alpha cabin is higher-end than the standard variant. It comes with leather-trimmed steering, front reclinable seats, adjustable headrests in both rows, cruise control, push-button start, and automatic climate control. The infotainment system is an 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Arkamys surround sound is added to the audio package. The base car comes with a 7-inch system.
Current Price and the ₹1 Lakh Advantage
The base ex-showroom price of the Jimny is ₹12.76 lakh. With the new promotion, the cost-effective price of the Alpha version plummets. The flat ₹1 lakh discount on this is not tied to an exchange or finance offermaking it an outright deal.
Even with international popularity, particularly in Japan where the waiting list goes up to 3.5 years, Jimny has not had much momentum in India. In the previous month, only 682 units were sold. With this offer, Maruti hopes to reverse that trend and get customers who want an authentic off-roader at a more reasonable price.
