Customers like its appeal for city driving too. In this regard, the Jimny has conferred the prestigious World Urban Car Award in the 2019 World Car Awards announced at the New York International Auto Show. With India as a production base for Jimny, Suzuki aims to leverage Maruti Suzuki’s global production stature.
