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.

Could the boxy shape actually help with cooling the battery pack? Form can follow function sometimes!
How will the move to electric impact the Jimny’s well known low range gearbox and off road capability?

Torque in electric motors is so high that you don’t need a low-range gearbox. It will most likely be able to crawl even better over obstacles!

No way, dude. Manual low range boxes just can’t be replaced. For serious off roading, EVs are too all or nothing.

In the software, they could implement a virtual low range mode. A motor control is used to simulate different gear ratios.

Electric motors have the instant torque, which might actually be too easy. The challenge is part of the fun of off roading.

Engine braking would be required, but on steep hills, it would be sketchy without it. Hopefully they have a good regenerative braking system.

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!

An electric drivetrain is simple, and when you're in the middle of nowhere, fewer things break. Reliability is a big plus for that.
Will Maruti NEXA Jimny EV's expected higher price point push away its typical budget conscious buyers?

It will have to cost more, but consider all the fuel and maintenance savings. It will pay for itself in the end.

There’s no way the average Jimny buyer can afford an EV version. This is just going to make it a rich person's toy.

They might also sell the same thing in different battery sizes to keep a lower entry price. Maximum range is not needed by everyone.

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.

Those who are true Jimny fans will pay the premium. This is not only a car, it’s a lifestyle.

The EV should not replace the petrol version, they should keep selling both. Let people have options according to their budget and needs.

It may actually be good for resale value. EV Jimnys will already hold their value well.
Will the Jimny's limited practicality stop it from succeeding in the long run in India?
31 December 2024 09:03
Definitely. It's not going to be practical for daily use and once the novelty wears off people will realize it. It won't be a mass market success, like the Gypsy, it'll be loved by enthusiasts.

I don't think so. Unique, capable vehicles always have a market. The Thar isn’t practical, but it’s doing well. The Jimny will fit into a niche.
