South African Jimny 5-door Gets More Colours Than The India-spec Maruti Jimny

South Africa becomes the first market outside of India to get the 5-door Suzuki Jimny

• These units are exported from India but get more colour options.

• The 3 extra colours are Silky Silver Metallic, Jungle Green and Chiffon Ivory Metallic dual-tone.

• Gets the same 1.5-litre petrol engine as the India-spec version, but with slightly lower output figures.

• Features a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, up to 6 airbags and a rearview camera.

The made-in-India Maruti Jimny 5-door has been launched in South Africa and it comes with the same engine option, similar features and a more expensive price tag. While most of the details of the elongated off-roader are the same as the India-spec version, it does have more colour options in South Africa. Check out all of them here.

Colours

It comes in 6 monotone colour options

• Celestial Blue Pearl Metallic (Available with the India-spec Jimny as Nexa Blue.)

• Arctic White Pearl (Available with the India-spec version.)

• Silky Silver Metallic (New)

• Bluish Black Pearl (Available with the India-spec version.)

• Granite Grey Metallic (Available with the India-spec version.)

• Jungle Green (New)

• We suspect that this colour (Jungle Green) is a bit too close to the shade of green used for military vehicles in India, and hence it is not being offered to us yet.

There are 3 dual-tone shades available as well

• Sizzling Red Metallic + Bluish Black Pearl (Available with the India-spec version.)

• Kinetic Yellow + Bluish Black Pearl (Available with the India-spec version.)

• Chiffon Ivory Metallic + Bluish Black Pearl (New)

• A classy and mature shade (Chiffon Ivory Metallic) that still stands out more than silver or gray, the Ivory shade may not be offered here as it is not expected to be popular among Indian buyers.

• The Red Metallic colour option in South Africa is available only in a dual-tone shade, while in India, it is also offered as a monotone shade.
