Jimny's Safety Upgrade May Be Just Around the Corner
In a bid to enhance its SUV’s competitiveness and customer trust, Maruti Suzuki is reportedly planning a major safety update for the Jimny in India. While the compact off-roader has been praised for its rugged build and styling, safety critics have been demanding upgrades — and now, they may finally be coming.
🔍 Expected Safety Features in the Upcoming Jimny Update
Here’s what we might see added to the Maruti Suzuki Jimny based on internal reports and industry speculation:
✅ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Lane Departure Warning
Adaptive Cruise Control
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
✅ Passive Safety Improvements
Six Airbags (vs. current 2)
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
Hill Hold & Hill Descent Control (standard across all variants)
✅ Structural Enhancements
Improved crash protection with reinforced frame
Revised pedestrian safety compliance
ISOFIX mounts for child safety seats
🚙 Why the Safety Push Now?
India is moving toward stricter safety norms in 2025, especially for cars under ₹20 lakh. This is pushing manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki to stay ahead by updating features proactively.
Also, with increasing competition from Mahindra Thar, Force Gurkha, and upcoming Kia mini-SUVs, Jimny needs to match not just off-road capability, but on-road safety confidence.
