Maruti Suzuki will be exporting the Jimny and Fronx to the Australian market in the coming months. Both vehicles will be manufactured in India. The 5-door version of the Jimny and the new Fronx crossover made their debut at the Auto Expo 2023 held last month in India.
The Jimny 5-door has a wheelbase of 2,590 mm, which is slightly longer than the 3-door version. In India, the off-roader is powered by a 1.5L petrol engine and is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system.
The Fronx crossover is based on the Heartect platform and comes with either a 1.0L turbo-petrol engine producing 99 hp of power and 147 Nm of torque or a 1.2L petrol engine that makes 89 hp and 113 Nm. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic as well as an AMT.
