Talks of Suzuki developing an updated 5-door version of its popular off-roading SUV, the all-new Maruti Jimny 2022, have been going around quite for a while now. However, it has been reported that the brand is facing certain troubles on the front of sales volumes and logistics for Jimny’s India launch. While some have speculated the Maruti Jimny launch date to be around April 15th this year itself, others expect it to go on sale in India sometime in early 2023. 

The upcoming Maruti Jimny 2022 5-door version is expected to come with a boxy exterior design similar to its 3-door version. Of course, the new 5-door SUV will come with a longer wheelbase, with approximately a 300mm increase in length. Its front grille and bumpers are expected to be restyled.
