On-Road Score

While I currently ride a bike, I actively follow the Indian automotive scene and enjoy learning about cars through ownership reviews and media. Among the cars on sale today, the Maruti Suzuki Jimny stands out as my favorite. It's compact yet rugged, and brings true 4x4 capability in a practical, city-friendly package. What I admire most is its no-nonsense character—it's built for function, not flash. The Jimny appeals to the enthusiast in me because it stays true to its legacy: lightweight, reliable, and ready for adventure. It may not be the most powerful or luxurious, but it has a distinct identity, and that's rare in today's market. I also appreciate its mechanical simplicity, which makes it more accessible for those who value real driving feel and utility over just features.

maruti suzuki jimny is a car which i have a soft spot for, its cute yet purposeful design, and unlike the massive thar it good in city as well and good for car touring and great offroading and it ticks all the boxs for a person looking for do everything car

Jimny...people are judging the car based on looks and have not quiet experienced its full potential,its sales are quiet low in most area.Its cheap compared to other off-roaders available in our market and its reliability and suzuki brand reputation and easy service makes it more suitable to take it off roading.

The looks, I like the Gypsy and the resemblance is very much there. The interior space is good for a small family and the orange backlight for all the switchgear looks classy (like on the Honda Jazz). Visibility is excellent all round which makes driving through traffic easy. Performance is fine as I am a slow driver with enough torque and pep for the highways. The only thing against it is the fuel efficiency and wide turning radius. I value practicality with good space, less gadgets and low maintenance. And for that reason, the Jimny is my favourite.

I would have to say the Jimny MT, its what I have bought as my first car very recently and it suits me perfectly. Luxury comfort, features are all moot to me. The Jimny is a machine not from this time, part of a dying breed of NA engines paired with manual transmission. Simple mechanics and timless design. And the size is perfect for our roads, better suspension. My favorite part though, it is a canvas for me... the jimny has so much after market support for performance and cosmetics (currently trying to get my hands on DAMD body kits), another thing is, I love the fact I got a MT, being a Gen Z kid, most of my peers can't drive a stick, I myself am not fully adept at it, but I went against my Dad's advice and still got a MT because why not, I really want to drive not play a driving game anymore.
