Suzuki’s 3 Door was a global bestseller already but it seems that the 5 door version that was specifically developed for the Indian Subcontinent has been witnessing the same success as that of the 3 door version world wide. The Indian manufactured Jimny is also exported to several other markets such as Latin America, South Africa, Southeast Asia and Middle East. After Being launched in Japan the car has witnessed great sales.
Jimny’s Waiting Period Rises to 3.5 Years
The jimny is being sold as the Jimny Nomade in the Japanese market. And only in the few days the booking of the vehicle has reached around 50,000 units. But since the vehicle had a limited supply the bookings in japan had to be halted and the waiting period of the Jimny has risen to an all time high of 3.5 years.
Suzuki has not revealed any details details about when they would start accepting the bookings again in Japan. Or how much of the total production of the vehicle would be set aside for the exports. Its possible that the production of the new Jimny might be increased to cater to the worldwide demand all over the world.
Delivery Time Line In japan
The Delivery of the new Jimny are scheduled to commence from 3rd April. It was earlier revealed that the first shipments of the Jimny had already been dispatched from India To Japan. Since these units might have been shipped to Suzuki dealerships, its possible that new shipments of the Jimny might be exported soon , Beyond the Jimny, Suzuki would also be exporting the likes of Dzire, Baleno, Swift, Ertiga Celerio and Eeco.
While the Jimny has had a good reception in Japan in India the reaction to the vehicle has been lukewarm at best. Jimny 5 door is currently the lowest selling Suzuki car in India.
