While there is nothing to takeaway from the new set of spy shots, the silhouette under the body cover does confirm it to be the Jimny 5-door. The side picture also shows the longer wheelbase of the Jimny 5-door over the Jimny 3-door that’s on sale globally. Other design elements like the tailgate-mounted spare wheel and a rear differential are also visible.

The Jimny is likely to come with a 1.5L normal petrol engine that’s seen in the Jimny 3-door, Brezza and a slew of other Maruti Suzuki offerings. In the Jimny 3-door, this engine churns out 102PS of power and 130Nm of torque. The figures sound meek in front of the Thar with its 2.0L turbo petrol engine, producing 150PS of power and 300Nm of torque. We expect the Jimny 5-door to offer the new 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission over the Jimny 3-door that continues to come with the older 4-speed torque converter automatic transmission in l global markets.
