Maruti Suzuki, the top passenger vehicle exporter for two consecutive years, has commenced exporting the much-anticipated Jimny 5-Door which is manufactured exclusively in India. This remarkable step further aligns with the Indian Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, solidifying Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to national manufacturing.
Unveiled at Auto Expo 2023, the Jimny 5-Door is destined for global markets, including Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. This expansion comes after Maruti Suzuki’s successful export of the 3-door Jimny to areas like Latin America and Africa in November 2020. In June 2023, the Jimny 5-Door was introduced to the domestic market.
A word from the top
Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO,
Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, “The Jimny has strengthened Maruti Suzuki’s presence in SUV segment. This lifestyle SUV has especially appealed to customers who enjoy an off-roading experience through tough terrains. The India-manufactured Jimny 5-Door in our export portfolio will surely create excitement among our overseas customers. Aligning with the Government of
India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, our Company now exports an extensive range of 17 vehicles across segments. We remain committed in our efforts to sustain leadership in the export of India-manufactured passenger vehicles.”
Our Take
Maruti Suzuki’s initiation of Jimny 5-Door exports is a testament to India’s growing manufacturing prowess and the company’s dedication to being a leader in the global automotive industry.
