Suzuki Jimny 55th Anniversary Edition unveiled in France, limited to 55 units only
The 55th Anniversary Jimny leans heavily into retro charm, presenting itself as a modern nod to the model's early years Check Offers
Suzuki has unveiled a highly exclusive 55th Anniversary Edition of the Jimny, a limited-production model that pays homage to the brand's iconic off-roader. Restricted to just 55 units and available only in France, this special edition marks a poignant farewell for the Jimny in European markets. With increasingly tight emission regulations phasing the model out, Suzuki's latest offering celebrates the Jimny's rugged heritage and enduring popularity among off-road enthusiasts.
It mixes retro styling, necessary features, and some commemorative elements to appeal to collectors as well as loyalists. Priced at €28,955 (around ₹ 28.75 lakh), the 55th Anniversary Edition serves as both a collector's item and a symbolic send-off for one of Suzuki's most beloved models. Deliveries are expected to commence in France by the end of this month.

The 55th Anniversary Jimny leans heavily into retro charm, presenting itself as a modern nod to the model's early years. Key design elements include vintage-style body side stripes, bright red splash guards, and a distinctive Rhino-emblazoned soft spare tyre cover—an icon long associated with the Jimny's tough persona. Up front, a unique honeycomb grille features the full Suzuki script instead of the usual "S" badge, adding to its classic appeal. Rugged black-painted steel wheels enhance the vehicle's utilitarian aesthetic, and customers can select from four muted colour options: Jungle Green, Medium Gray, White, and Bluish Black. Suzuki Jimny 55 Anniversary Edition: Specifications
Mechanically, the special edition retains the proven underpinnings of the standard Jimny. It is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 101 bhp and 130 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and Suzuki's AllGrip Pro 4WD system, complete with a low-range transfer case—ensuring the Jimny continues to punch well above its weight in off-road capability. Weighing just 1,090 kg, its compact size and robust ground clearance make it a nimble adventurer on any terrain.

Inside, practicality and nostalgia continue. The cabin features durable rubber floor mats, a commemorative centre console badge, and exclusive extras like a leather-bound travel journal and custom key fob for French buyers. The edition is Privilege trim based and features fundamental comforts in the form of heated seats, air conditioning, Bluetooth, and a USB port. Still, advanced technology such as a 9-inch display screen and LED lighting is noticeably missing.
Safety is not sacrificed, with items such as hill-start assist, automatic high beams, emergency braking, lane departure warning, and TPMS completing an impressive list.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to Renault Triber: Three most value-for-money MPVs in India under ₹15 lakh
The Indian car market has been witnessing a significant transition in consumer preference over the last couple of years. Gone are the days when consumers used to prefer hatchbacks, and the small cars used to be the driving force of the Indian passenger vehicle market. Over the last couple of years, utility vehicles, including SUVs and MPVs, have been finding an ever-increasing demand. This transition is in sync with the global market. (Also read: Upcoming cars in India) While SUVs have become the driving force of the Indian passenger vehicle market, MPVs too have been sustainably seeing high demand. This has propelled several carmakers to launch their respective products in this segment. Here is a list of the three most popular MPVs that come priced under ₹ 15 lakh and offer the most value-for-money. Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has been the bestselling MPV in the Indian passenger vehicle market for quite a long time. Sold through the car manufacturer's Arena retail network, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga comes priced from ₹ 9 lakh (ex-showroom). This spacious and practical three-row MPV is widely popular among private buyers as well as in the fleet segment. While the petrol engine with SHVS technology enhances its appeal, the availability of a petrol-CNG bi-fuel powertrain offers enhanced cost efficiency for the vehicle. The seven-seater MPV is one of the best-selling and most value-for-money offerings in the segment. Interestingly, under the Suzuki-Toyota global partnership, the Toyota Rumion is basically a rebadged iteration of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, which offers similar features. The Renault Triber is one of the most affordable seven-seater cars in India. Available at a starting price of about ₹ 6 lakh, the Renault Triber is sold alongside its siblings, Kwid and Kiger. The Renault Triber is available with a 1.0-litre petrol engine, while the transmission choices include a manual gearbox as well as an AMT unit. Renault has recently introduced a CNG option to this MPV, which further enhances its practicality and value-for-money quotient.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Snapped Testing Again, What We Know So Far?
Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for the launch of the e Vitara in India. The electric car made its debut in Milan, followed by the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in January, and has been revealed globally. Recently, Suzuki launched the all-electric e Vitara in the United Kingdom with a price tag of Euro 29,999 (around Rs 35 lakh) for the entry-level variant with a 49 kWh battery pack. Meanwhile, the top-end variant of the EV with Ultra AllGrip-e variant with a 61 kWh battery pack and all-wheel-drive powertrain comes at Euro 37,799 (approximately Rs 44 lakh). Also, a test mule of the all-electric car has been spotted testing in India, suggesting its launch to be slotted soon. Talking about its exterior and design, the e Vitara takes cues from the eVX concept, with the amalgam of the Emotional Versatile Cruiser concept. The front fascia is rather upright, and it looks SUV-ish in all regards. The use of blacked-out elements around the chin offers a rugged appeal to the nose. Around the sides, it gets black cladding for the hexagonal wheel arches. The roof profile is flat for the large part. The chunky flared arches add muscles to the design. The charging port is fixed on the front fender, and the bonnet here is a clamshell unit. Other highlights include a shark-fin antenna and c-pillar-mounted door handles. The Indian spec Suzuki E Vitara will come with two battery pack options: 49 kWh and 61 kWh (as offered in the UK). The smaller battery pack will offer a WLTP range of 346 km, while the bigger battery pack is rated to offer 428 km of range in its single-motor configuration. Meanwhile, the dual-motor variant with the 61 kWh battery pack will offer 412 km of range.
