Suzuki has introduced the Heritage edition of Jimny in Australia. This version of Jimny will be limited to 300 units and will include cosmetic updates.
Suzuki Australia has customised the Jimny Heritage edition with retro graphics. It has Orange and Red stripes on the side and rear. This commemorates Jimny’s off-road legacy from the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. Along with the retro graphics, it gets a Jimny Heritage decal on the rear fenders. The Jimny Heritage also receives Red mud flaps with a White Suzuki logo. The Heritage edition is available in White, Bluish-Black Pearl, Jungle Green, and Medium Grey.
The Jimny Heritage is equipped with the same features as the standard Jimny like the LED projector headlamps and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. It comes with a 7.0” touchscreen infotainment system that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A reverse camera and climate control, are all standard features on the Heritage.
The Jimny Heritage has received no mechanical updates from Suzuki. The 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine continues to produce a max power of 105 hp and 134 Nm of peak torque. Suzuki specifies that the Heritage edition will only be available with a 5-speed manual transmission. The regular version retains the option of a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Suzuki’s AllGrip Pro four-wheel drive system is also standard on the Heritage edition.
The 5-door Jimny was unveiled by Maruti Suzuki on 12 January at the Auto Expo 2023. Expect to put down Rs 10-12 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Maruti Suzuki Jimny. It’s expected to come around May, and it has already earned well over 15,000 of the reservations the Palm advertises it accepts as deposit. The SUV will be available in Nexa Maruti dealerships on four variants. The first 5 door Jimny will be launched without any direct competitors on release. But it will be competing with the upcoming 5 door version of the Mahindra Thar and Force Gurkha. We wish Maruti also launches the 5 Door Jimny in India this year, in the limited edition model pegged the Heritage Edition!
