The Jimny SUV is available in Australia at a price of AUD 34,990, which is approximately Rs 18.60 lakh. It is worth mentioning that the Jimny being sold in Australia is imported from India. Interestingly, the price of the Jimny in India has also seen a reduction. When it was launched in India in June this year, it was priced at Rs 12.74 lakh (ex-showroom). However, earlier this month, the company introduced a Thunder Edition of the Jimny, which is priced at Rs 10.74 lakh (ex-showroom). In India, the Jimny competes with the Mahindra Thar, just like in the Australian market.
Why is Australia’s Jimny special?
Now, let’s talk about what makes the Jimny in Australia special. As mentioned earlier, Australia is the second major foreign market for the Jimny, and it differs from the South African version. In South Africa, the Jimny is offered in three variants: Zeta, Alpha, and Alpha AT, all with similar features. However, in Australia, the five-door Jimny has been added to the existing three-door versions, known as Jimny Lite and Jimny. The top-end variant in Australia, called the XL, is essentially the five-door version and is priced at AUD 36,490, which is approximately converted to Rs 19.97 lakh.
One of the notable differences between the Jimny SUV sold in India, South Africa, and Australia is the additional features found in the Australian model. The Australian version comes equipped with ADAS, which stands for Advanced Driver Assistance System. This system includes features such as auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, anti-collision warning, and dual camera brake support, among others. Additionally, the Jimny in Australia offers a choice of seven exterior color options.
In conclusion, Maruti Suzuki has launched the Jimny SUV with ADAS function in the Australian market, making it the second major foreign market for this five-door model. The Australian version comes with additional features and is priced at AUD 34,990. If you are interested in purchasing this SUV or learning more.
