The battery pack will also help to make it even more stable on side slopes due to the lower center of gravity. It's a win for off-roading!

That extra weight is going to make it sink in mud and sand. Key to the petrol version's off road prowess is its lightweight nature.

They could have evenly distributed the batteries for perfect 50/50 weight distribution. On technical trails how balanced would that be!

Any weight gain will be more than made up for with the instant torque from the electric motors. It’ll get itself out of anything.

Water crossings are a worry. It doesn't sound great for deep water all that electrical stuff under the floor.

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.

They should have an option for removable battery. For hardcore off roading, take out some cells, for longer trips put them all in.
Can the Maruti NEXA Jimny EV really be an off-roader, or is it just another city SUV in disguise?

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.

Are you kidding? An EV for off-roading? How do you find juice when you're in the middle of nowhere? With petrol, at least you can carry a jerry can.

I think it will be even better off road. Rock crawling is great because electric motors have precise control. Exploring nature in silence, can you imagine?

Most Jimny owners never take them off road anyway, so let’s be real. The EV version, at least, will be more practical to use daily and better for the environment.

The batteries might actually add weight which helps with traction. And with some clever engineering, they could throw the weight around better than the petrol version.

Without a manual transmission there is no true off roading. Half the fun is the clutch and the gears in tough terrain. It’s just a poser’s car now.

You all are missing the point. The Jimny EV could bring off roading to an entirely new audience who were put off by regular 4x4s. It's progress!
Will the boxy design of Maruti NEXA Jimny EV affect its range or is it a necessary evil to retain the character?

The Jimny’s soul is this boxy design! So who cares if we lose a few km of range? It's not meant to cruiser at long distance anyway.

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.

Perhaps there's some clever aero bits they could add, such as something as simple as retractable flaps, or something as complex as the active front grille. Best of both worlds!

The boxy design actually makes interior space. That extra room could be used for a larger battery to make up for the aero penalty.

Anyone buying a Jimny EV isn’t too worried about maximum range, let’s be honest. It’s about the style and how capable you are.

I’m sure they could do something to improve the aero without altering the overall look. Small tweaks to the windshield angle or underbody could be a big difference maker.
