Jimny Thunder Edition is available on both, Zeta and Alpha variants.
Maruti Suzuki has been offering attractive discounts and benefits on the Jimny SUV for a few months. The Jimny was earlier available at a discount of around Rs 1 lakh during Diwali, but now, the discount on the entry-level variant is Rs 2 lakh. This means the SUV’s range, which starts with Jimny Zeta MT, now starts at Rs 10.74 lakh instead of Rs 12.74 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, the Jimny is almost Rs 4 lakh cheaper than the entry-level Thar petrol 4WD MT with Hard top.
- Entry-level Jimny costs Rs 2 lakh less for limited period
- Thunder edition package available for all variants
- Made-in-India Jimny five-door now a global SUV
Maruti Jimny Thunder Edition introduced
In order to push sales, the Jimny Thunder edition has been introduced in the market, which essentially adds a bunch of accessories for an extra cost. Customers opting for the entry-level Jimny Zeta or the top-spec Jimny Alpha can opt for the Thunder edition package.
Here’s what the Jimny Thunder Edition bundles in:
There are no mechanical changes as such, which means the 105hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine continues to power the Jimny. The unit can either be mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. The Jimny comes standard with Suzuki’s ALLGrip 4WD tech on all variants.
As far as standard features go, the Jimny Zeta gets steel wheels, a 7.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, six airbags and ESP, among others.
The Jimny has been a steady seller for Maruti, at around 3,000 units a month, which is not exactly high by the brand’s high volume standards. The made-in-India Jimny, in its five-door body style, is being exported in LHD and RHD iterations to many international markets.
