Discussions and Questions - Maruti NEXA Jimny Maruti NEXA Jimny
What will be the Maruti NEXA Jimny EV’s weight distribution and center of gravity versus the petrol version and how will that affect its off road performance?
31 December 2024 09:14
There are even some cases where the extra weight would actually help out with traction. Not always bad, more weight pressing down on the tires.
Can the Maruti NEXA Jimny EV really be an off-roader, or is it just another city SUV in disguise?
31 December 2024 09:14
But still, it’s a Jimny at heart! With electric motor instant torque it'll be a beast on steep inclines. And you won’t have to worry about stalling in tricky situations anymore.
Will the boxy design of Maruti NEXA Jimny EV affect its range or is it a necessary evil to retain the character?
31 December 2024 09:14
Every bit of range counts in the EV world. At the least, they should round some edges off to make things more efficient. That doesn’t have to be a literal box, it can still look rugged.
How will the move to electric impact the Jimny’s well known low range gearbox and off road capability?
31 December 2024 09:14
Torque vectoring is possible with electric motors. It’s this kind of control that we dream of; imagine being able to control power to each wheel independently!
Will Maruti NEXA Jimny EV's expected higher price point push away its typical budget conscious buyers?
31 December 2024 09:14
To make up for the rise in price, the government incentives for EVs might help. The petrol version could be not that much more expensive.
Will the Jimny's limited practicality stop it from succeeding in the long run in India?
31 December 2024 09:03
This is going to be a slow burner. Hype might make initial sales high, but long term it will settle into a steady, modest sales figure. It's not going to be a volume seller, but it doesn't need to be.
Do the younger generation find the retro design of Jimny appealing?
31 December 2024 09:03
The price isn't youth friendly but the design is cool. Those who can afford it often want something more luxurious, and those who can't afford it like the look, but can't get it.
Is the Jimny practical enough for city use?
31 December 2024 09:03
For city use I think it's overkill. It’s off road capability that you’ll very seldom use, and you’re paying for it. If you want to be purely an urban driver, a regular hatchback or compact SUV makes more sense.
Off-road, can the Jimny really compete with the Mahindra Thar?
31 December 2024 09:03
They don’t compete, they excel in different areas. On tight trails and forest roads, the Jimny is better than the Thar, and on more open, challenging terrain the Thar is the better choice.
Is the Jimny worth its high price?
31 December 2024 09:03
Absolutely not worth it. You are paying Thar money for a glorified Alto on steroids. It’s an ancient engine, and you don’t get nearly as much bang for your buck as you would with other options in that price range.
