By Introduction
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny, our trusty Indian-made vehicle, is hitting the Aussie roads in a bigger avatar. The 5-door Jimny, now known as the Jimny XL, is making its debut in Australia, sharing the spotlight with its 3-door sibling. But that’s not all – it’s got a new safety upgrade, something called the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Let’s dive into the deets.
Key Points
- Safety Boost Down Under: The Australia version of the 5-door Jimny is now a safety whiz, thanks to the ADAS. This includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, autonomous emergency braking, and even a weaving alarm. It’s like the Jimny just got superhero powers for safety.
- Down with Boring Safety Norms: Australia is serious about safety, and it now requires vehicles to have ADAS features. If a car doesn’t play along, it gets a big, fat zero-star rating. So, Jimny had to suit up and get with the safety program to hit the Aussie roads.
- Staying Consistent: Besides the fancy new safety features, the Australia-spec Jimny sticks to the safety basics – six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and traction control. Safety first, right?
- Same Heart, Slightly Different Beat: Underneath that Aussie, Jimny hood is the same 1.5L petrol engine, but with a slight tune-down. It’s pushing out 100hp and 130Nm – a tad less than its Indian cousin. But hey, it’s still got the AllGrip 4×4 system for some off-road fun.
- From India with Love: India is like the proud parent because it’s the only place making the 5-door Jimny. So, when you see one rolling in Australia, know it’s been shipped with love from our shores.
- Choices, Choices: Aussies now get to choose between the 3-door and the 5-door Jimny. It’s like having the best of both worlds – whether you’re a solo explorer or planning a group adventure.
The Jimny is proving it’s not just a local hero; it’s going global with some extra safety muscle. With its snazzy new features and the 5-door version making waves in Australia, the Jimny continues to be the cool kid on the block, making India proud as the manufacturing hub for this adventurous gem.
