Maruti Suzuki’s Made-in-India Jimny 5-Door has officially been unveiled in Japan, marking a significant milestone for the brand’s global presence. First showcased at Auto Expo 2023, the off-roader is exclusively built at Maruti Suzuki’s Gurugram facility and stands as the company’s second most-exported model for FY 2024-25.
Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-Door is already shipped to nearly 100 countries. Its arrival in Japan is a notable achievement, making it the second SUV after the Fronx to be exported to Suzuki’s home market this fiscal year.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “The introduction of the ‘Made in India’ Jimny 5-Door in Japan reflects the global excellence of our manufacturing capabilities. It is our second model to be exported to Japan this fiscal year (FY 2024-25), following the Fronx in August 2024. Jimny stands as the second most exported Maruti Suzuki car in FY 2024-25. After achieving tremendous success in markets such as Mexico, Australia, and South Africa, we are confident that it will also appeal to customers in Japan. The export of Jimny reinforces our commitment to ‘Make-in-India for the world’.”
