While the 5-door Maruti Jimny hasn’t met expectations in India, its global success continues to rise. Following the Fronx, another export success story, the 5-door Jimny is now set to launch in Japan as the Suzuki Jimny Nomade.
Suzuki Jimny Nomade – Bookings & Launch Timeline
Suzuki has commenced bookings for the Jimny Nomade in Japan, with the first shipment already arriving. The vehicle is expected to hit showrooms soon, offering Japanese customers a new 5-door alternative alongside the existing 3-door Jimny models.
Jimny Nomade – How It Differs from the 5-Door Jimny
The Jimny Nomade is essentially the same as the 5-door Jimny available in India. The name ‘Nomade’ is inspired by the spirit of adventure and mobility, differentiating it from the 3-door variants. While the overall design and features remain unchanged, minor tweaks such as exclusive badging may be present.
