Maruti Suzuki launched the highly anticipated Jimny in May this year. With prices starting at Rs 12.74 lakh (ex-showroom), the general opinion about the 5-door Jimny is that it’s too pricey, especially for a subcompact SUV. Keeping this in mind, the company has launched a new more affordable version of Jimny.
Called Thunder Edition, it is a limited-run model of Jimny with prices starting at Rs 10.74 lakh and going up to Rs 14.05 lakh (ex-showroom). The Thunder Edition is available across all the four variants of Jimny lineup and available for sale only for December 2023.

Cabin interiors are also spiced up thanks to an interior styling kit which comprises floor mats (different for manual and automatic variants), and a tan-finish steering wheel. Rest of the equipment and layout inside the cabin remains the same. It boasts of features like a 9-inch touchscreen, cruise control, auto climate control, electronic stability programme (ESP), a reverse parking camera, and six airbags.
Maruti Jimny Thunder Edition: Powertrain
As expected, powertrain specs on the Jimny Thunder Edition remain unchanged. It is powered by a 1.5-litre K15B naturally aspirated petrol engine that kicks out 104 bhp and 134 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. All variants get a 4×4 drivetrain with a low-range gearbox.
