Maruti Suzuki India Limited announced that its off-roader, the Jimny 5-door, has achieved a significant export milestone by surpassing cumulative shipments of 1 lakh units from India. Manufactured exclusively in India, the Jimny 5-door has found strong resonance among customers across more than 100 countries, including Japan, Mexico, and Australia, since exports began in 2023 shortly after its India debut.
Built on a robust ladder-frame chassis and equipped with Suzuki’s acclaimed ALLGRIP PRO (4WD) system, the Jimny 5-door embodies a blend of off-road capability, stability, and reliability. Powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine, the SUV has won global appeal for its balance of durability, simplicity, and functional performance—qualities that have defined the Jimny legacy for over five decades.
Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, expressed pride in the achievement, stating, “The Jimny has over half a century of heritage globally. Jimny 5-door crossing the 1 lakh export mark is a proud achievement for Maruti Suzuki. We are deeply thankful to customers around the world for their trust in this acclaimed SUV. Jimny’s strong off-road DNA, reliable performance, and uncompromising quality have earned admiration in over 100 countries.”
He further highlighted the company’s growing export momentum, adding, “The Jimny, along with 16 other models exported by Maruti Suzuki, stands as a shining example of ‘Make in India for the World’. The year-on-year rise in the company’s exports reflects the love and confidence of customers in our products and underscores India’s emergence as a global hub for world-class automobile manufacturing.”
The Jimny 5-door’s entry into Japan earlier this year under the name “Jimny Nomade” generated an overwhelming response, with orders exceeding 50,000 within days of its launch—an impressive feat in one of the world’s most quality-conscious markets. This success further cements the model’s global appeal and reinforces Maruti Suzuki’s position as a leading contributor to India’s automotive export growth.
