Maruti Suzuki Jimny was one of the most awaited vehicles that made its debut in the Indian Auto Expo 2020. Maruti put the off-roader on display on the fourth day of the expo. The automaker claimed that they displayed the off-roader to see how the audience would react. As we already know, the Gypsy still has a cult fan following so it was quite obvious that the Indian audience would love to see the off-roader on stage.

Maruti Suzuki Jimny will be produced in Gujarat and most of the units will be exported. The automaker plans to manufacture 4000-5000 units of the off-roader which will majorly be used for export purposes only. As of now, the Jimny will make its way into the Indian market through Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa dealerships. This will replace the iconic Gypsy (We are yet to see if it really can!). For the price, the Jimny will come with a price tag of fewer than Rs.10 Lakhs.
