Engine: 1.5L K15B with Idle Start-Stop
The Jimny is powered by the proven 1.5-litre K15B four-cylinder petrol engine. Specifically tuned for off-road endurance rather than high-speed racing, this motor provides the low-end grunt necessary for crawling through difficult terrains. It features an Idle Start-Stop system to improve efficiency during city commutes and is built on a high-rigidity ladder frame chassis for maximum durability.
Max Power: 103 bhp | Max Torque: 134.2 Nm
The naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers a peak power of 103 bhp at 6,000 rpm and 134.2 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. While these figures are modest for the highway, they are perfectly balanced for the Jimny's lightweight body, allowing it to maintain momentum in mud, sand, and rocky paths where heavier SUVs might struggle.
Mileage: 16.94 kmpl (MT) / 16.39 kmpl (AT)
Despite its boxy design and 4WD hardware, the Jimny offers respectable fuel efficiency. The 5-speed manual variant returns an ARAI-certified 16.94 kmpl, while the 4-speed automatic version is rated at 16.39 kmpl. In real-world off-road conditions, these figures will vary based on the use of low-range gearing.
