Maruti Suzuki Jimny To Arrive Soon
Much awaited Maruti Suzuki Jimny to arrive in India in 2023. The SUV is a massive success in the European market, and we expect the same in the Indian market as well. Once launched, Jimny will go head to head with the top-selling Mahindra Thar. One key area where Jimny might have the edge is its 5-door setup, as opposed to Thar’s 3-door. With its aggressive pricing strategy, Maruti Suzuki could position the Jimny strategically, which could completely change the game plan of the SUV segment.
