The Suzuki Jimny’s fourth generation is easily one of the most anticipated cars in India as well as globally.
As suspected Suzuki has launched the new Jiminy in both Kie-Car spec (which is the efficiency-driven variant with limited trim) as well as the bigger and better equipped Jimny Sierra (which is more likely to make it to the Indian market).
For Japanese Markets the Jiminy Kie-Car has been priced at Rs 9.06 lakh while the Jiminy Sierra starts from Rs. 10.94 lakh.
As for official dimensions, the Jimny measures 3,395 mm in length, 1,475 mm in width, and 1,725 in height, while offering a ground clearance of 205 mm.

The Jimny Sierra, on the other hand, measures 3,550 mm in length, 1,645 mm in width, and 1,730 mm height, with even more ground clearance at 210 mm.
Although interestingly both cars have similar wheelbase at 2250 mm. Despite the varied dimensions, both cars get similar visual cues with round headlamps, five-slot grille, heavy-duty bumpers paired with the signature tail mounted the spare wheel.
It wouldn't be fair to say that the interiors of the Jimny have picked off where it's predecessor left off, considering that the fourth generation Jimny is actually very well equipped.

This is the same engine that India will get on the updated Ciaz. While gearing options include a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Considering that Japan will be launching the Jimny in Europe shortly, with India emerging as the export hub.
It is likely that a launch might happen in the near future. Given the public interest in the Jiminy, this could well be the long-awaited successor to the Iconic Maruti Gypsy.
