The “made in India” Jimny 5-Door has been unveiled in Japan, marking a significant milestone for Maruti Suzuki.

Originally showcased at Auto Expo 2023 in India, the model has quickly become Maruti Suzuki’s second most exported model in the 2024/25 financial year.

Manufactured exclusively in Gurugram, Haryana, the 5-Door expands the marque’s off-roader line-up. 

While the 3-Door version was already available in Japan, the new variant enhances the brand’s appeal. The move also further cements India’s role as a key global production hub, reinforcing Maruti Suzuki’s growing export footprint.

With more than 3.5 million Jimnys sold across 199 countries, Suzuki is capitalising on India’s production strength to meet rising global demand for the SUV.
