My name is Salman and I am an ardent traveller, passionate about cars, off-roading, overlanding, and car camping. I like to explore new places, cultures, and meet people. In my videos, you would find me exploring remote areas in nature away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Come, be a part of my journey and share experiences.
In this video I am sharing my understanding about Jimny's sales performance in India and the factors influencing it.

Jimny bahut practical hai chhote raston per or kisi bhi situation mein kahin se bhi cross Ho jaati Hai 8000-10000 kilometer chalane ke bad engine under power nahin lagta hai Bahut balance power Di gai hai Har jagah se bahut achcha response Mila Hai public ka Jinhone 8000 say 10000 km gadi chala li hai mujhe lagta hai ki vah behtar samajh sakte hain ki jimny kya product hai wo hamesha jimny rakhna chaha gay Comfort bahut badhiya hai True SUV

No power. No torque. No fuel economy. No space. No road presence. No internal storage options. No seat height adjustment. No rear AC. No comfort in rear seats. The list is endless. No one goes crawling up a hill every day. But if we say that off-road is its forte, even then the Jimny’s low water wading capacity lets it down. Only 300mm. Then there is the fixed axle. In India we value function and utility. Even road presence can actually be seen as a utility feature. From that perspective this car has very little utility value. The atrocious pricing was just the last straw.

I'll tell you the reasons plain and simple They chose to ignore legacy and went with the wrong name.. If they were making a long wheelbase car specifically for India... It should've been named Gypsy like they used to.. Not Jimny. It shouldve looked more like the Gypsy which does have that macho look and feel.. The pricing obviously was a mistake and they should've reduced the price in December instead of giving discounts... And it should've been cut by 3 lakhs ex showroom.. Not just 2 lakhs . And also... MLD should've been given as standard... Gypsy name sells in India.. Jimny doesn't...

The same car is sold globally in 190+ countries including Europe, Australia & Japan. It could not have become so popular if it did not meet their tech standards or customer expectations. One can always argue about the pricing. That is the case with all cars. indian customers always feel they are overpriced. To large extent it is due to high taxes. But i think Maruti Suzuki did not market it appropriately. It should have addressed different segments not just offloading- which is very small. Jimmy is an excellent city car. Even for the highway it is good to drive unless one is a speed monster. Can one legally drive at speeds more than 80-110 kms per hr including overtaking? It is adequately powered with a 4x4 backup for poor roads and hills. Comfort is excellent. With more and more nuclear families, size is just 3-4 members. This is the case abroad. Hence, seating for 4 is fine. Engine. The highly popular Honda City continues to have a naturally aspirated engine. There might be reasons to continue with the existing engine including pricing and emissions. Probably you need to check the vehicle after the run in period reg the clutch. Don't compare it to sedans or diesel powered turbo SUVs. Sale of diesel vehicles will increasingly go down as in the international markets. Expect the same in India. Jimny is compact from outside and quite spacious inside. Big advantage in cities where parking space is highly constrained. Ask the opinions of buyers before you share the review. It will be more realistic.

Jimny is a great vehicle, no doubt. However, I think Maruti could not assess the Indian customer perception correctly. Be it pricing, be it engine power, size etc.

@sharadnileshwar8649 2 ай бұрын

True. But i think they did not want to change anything (except 5 doors) since it is also meant for export to markets where it is already popular.

We went to see jimny @ nexa 2 times. Me and my wife rejected it. One day someone had called jimny for test drive in my apartment. We asked for test drive, They gave. After driving, we felt like I'm driving mini Innova, drive quality is similar to Innova, which is also ladder on frame. Potholes and bad roads you don't even have to think. We booked Jimny next day. We feel it is very underrated vehicle in India. I have taken test drive for breeza, grand vitara, elevate etc. But Jimny ride quality is different.

@motorcardrive 2 ай бұрын

Yes. Jimny ride quality is really good.

Clutch becomes free after 2000 km driving. Main reason for poor sales is the incorrect pricing. A price of 12 lakhs - 12.5 lakhs on road for the base model would have worked wonders for the sales. Rest all shortcomings are manageable. I use Jimny as a daily commute vehicle.

@MondayMorning-yv7nf 7 ай бұрын

it's not the "main reason", it's the "only reason". It's price should have been same as the Fronx.

@Matkabhaikhed 7 ай бұрын

@@MondayMorning-yv7nf You are right. An on road price around 12 - 12.5 lakhs will make all shortcomings invisible :)

Instead of just plain colors, some designs on the body would improve its appeal and then it could compete with thar cuz one of the major things today young people look for is looks, otherwise plain jiminy doesn't just gets u in first look.

@motorcardrive 8 ай бұрын

Yes, more choices as you mentioned, accessories, off-road events and competitive Pricing (which they have done I think) would be good to go!

@Mohan-ex3vb 7 ай бұрын

I think people and even Suzuki thought to couple jimny as family cum offroad car was the first cause of failure.... It's a separate segment similar to thar, gurkha.... It is definitely not a car for a family who is buying first time..... Moreover no diesel in a 4x4 is another setback.... Cost cutting features like poor audio, dinosaur period interiors all added.... The cost is a major factor (18L ALPHA AT).. They sold some how by introducing thunder edition (2 to 3 lakhs price reduction) ... Once they lifted t offer again steep fall in sales.... But it is a fair 4x4 car to be honest...

Place the jimny next to an alto or Maruti car, it will look more smaller in width than those two small cars in India. First look itself is a shit, give 4x4 to Nano. I will go for the later😂

@ashokmehta98 7 ай бұрын

Jimny is shit. It costs the same as thar, but has a massively weak engine. It reaches only 136nm at 4000rpm. Thar reached 350nm as early as 1200rpm. The bhp too is shit. And lets not forget the build quality of maruti. 17 lakhs is not justified just because its a 5 door.
