Notably, the Jimny Sierra will be sold in India via Maruti Suzuki ARENA showrooms instead of NEXA dealerships that are known for company's premium products. So, it is expected that the Japanese automaker would bring the car with some cost-cutting measures.
That said, there are chances that the India-specific Jimny could be a five-door variant as against the three-door model sold in international markets.
