The model was presented on the Indian soil back in 2012 to gauge the initial public reaction. But so far, no official movement has been made by the automaker yet. If launched, the Jimny SUV will be positioned as an entry-level SUV and will be slotted between the Maruti Suzuki Gypsy and the Grand Vitara.

For the model year 2013, the revised Jimny SUV has received a number of visual updates in the form of a new front bumper, new grille, a new bonnet shape incorporating central air intake and the fog lamps have been repositioned as well.
