Load up your tools, then chase the sunset over a rocky trail the Suzuki Jimny Pickup, launched on April 24, 2025, is the ride that doesn’t pick sides between hard work and hard play. Priced at ₹12.76 lakh (ex-showroom), this rugged newcomer takes the Jimny’s off-road legacy and adds a practical cargo bed, making it a dream for small business owners and weekend warriors alike. With a 1.5L engine pumping out 101 bhp, a fuel-sipping 16.94 kmpl mileage, and a green edge that keeps the planet in mind, this pickup is ready to haul your gear and conquer the wild in one go. Whether you’re delivering supplies in the city or escaping to the mountains, the Jimny Pickup is your do-it-all companion for 2025. Let’s dig into what makes this beast a game-changer for those who live to work hard and play harder.
Rugged Design for Tough Jobs
The Jimny Pickup isn’t here to mess around—it’s built to turn heads while getting the job done. Starting with the Jimny’s iconic boxy shape, Suzuki swaps the rear seats for a flatbed cargo area, perfect for hauling everything from construction gear to camping supplies. The signature round LED headlamps with washers cut through mud and dust, while the flat, square bonnet gives you a clear view of the terrain ahead. Angled bumper edges and a 210mm ground clearance let you climb over obstacles without scraping, whether you’re on a job site or a forest trail. New colors like Kinetic Yellow and Jungle Green keep the vibe bold, and Suzuki’s use of eco-friendly paints and local sourcing means your tough ride doesn’t come at the earth’s expense. This is a pickup that’s as gritty as it is green.
Engine That Pulls Double Duty
Under the hood, the Jimny Pickup packs the same 1.5L petrol engine as its SUV sibling—a lightweight powerhouse delivering 101 bhp at 6000 rpm and 130 Nm at 4000 rpm. Paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, it’s got the grunt to tow loads through city streets and the finesse to crawl over rocks on a weekend escape. The ALLGRIP Pro 4WD system with low-range transfer gear lets you switch to 4L mode for maximum torque on steep inclines, while 2H mode keeps things fuel-efficient on paved roads. At 16.94 kmpl (claimed), the 40-litre tank stretches to 677 km—saving ₹20,000–₹25,000 yearly at ₹100/litre compared to a 10 kmpl rival. The BS6 Phase 2 engine cuts emissions, so you’re hauling loads without leaving a heavy footprint. It’s a workhorse that plays clean.
Cargo Bed Built for Versatility
The Jimny Pickup’s flatbed is where the magic happens. Replacing the rear seats, the cargo area (likely around 800–900 litres, based on the Jimny’s 863-litre van variant) can handle everything from bricks to backpacks, with tie-down hooks to secure your load. The wide-opening tailgate makes loading a breeze, whether you’re at a construction site or prepping for a camping trip. A sturdy safety grille separates the cabin from the bed, keeping your gear secure on bumpy trails. The ladder frame chassis—Suzuki’s hallmark for off-road durability—ensures the pickup can handle heavy loads without breaking a sweat. With 3-link rigid axle suspension, it presses down for grip when the terrain gets rough, making sure your cargo stays put while you tackle the wild.
Ride That Tames Any Terrain
This pickup isn’t just about hauling—it’s about going where the job takes you, even if that’s off the map. The Jimny Pickup’s 210mm ground clearance and ample body angles (37° approach, 28° breakover, 49° departure) let you climb steep slopes and dodge obstacles without scraping the underbody. Hill descent control kicks in on tricky drops, applying brakes to maintain a steady speed so you can focus on steering. The 3-link rigid axle suspension with coil springs keeps all four wheels planted, whether you’re navigating a rocky trail or a gravelly worksite. At 150 kg payload (based on Jimny van specs), it’s not a heavy-duty hauler, but for small businesses or solo adventurers, it’s the perfect balance of utility and agility. This is a ride that works as hard as you play.
Tech That Keeps You Rolling
Suzuki keeps the Jimny Pickup’s tech simple but smart, blending utility with adventure-ready features. A 7-inch touchscreen (9-inch in higher trims) with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto lets you navigate job sites or trails with ease, while voice commands keep your hands on the wheel. The meter cluster stays illuminated for clear viewing, showing speed, fuel, and 4WD mode—crucial when you’re off-road at dusk. Traction control and hill hold control step in on slippery slopes, braking slipping wheels to redistribute torque and keep you moving. LED headlamps save power, stretching your range further, a small eco-friendly touch that adds up. It’s not loaded with gadgets, but every feature is designed to keep you in control, whether you’re delivering goods or chasing a mountain sunset.
Eco-Friendly Hauler for All Seasons
The Jimny Pickup doesn’t just get the job done—it does it with the planet in mind. That 16.94 kmpl mileage means fewer fuel stops, cutting CO2 emissions compared to a 10 kmpl pickup—vital in a country where air quality is a growing concern. The 1.5L engine’s lightweight design and BS6 Phase 2 compliance keep emissions low, while the 4WD system’s 2H mode optimizes efficiency on paved roads. Suzuki’s local sourcing for 90% of parts slashes shipping emissions, and the ladder frame’s durability means fewer repairs and less waste over time. The minimal interior—stylish black with hard-wearing plastics—cuts production impact, focusing on function over flash. This is a pickup that hauls your load and your eco-values, proving you can work hard and play hard without leaving a mess behind.
Price That Fits Your Hustle
Starting at ₹12.76 lakh (ex-showroom), the Jimny Pickup is a budget-friendly pick for small business owners and adventurers. On-road in cities like Delhi, expect ₹14–14.5 lakh, with EMIs starting at ₹42,000/month on a ₹1.5 lakh downpayment. That’s competitive against rivals like the Mahindra Bolero Pik-Up (₹9.12 lakh) or Isuzu D-Max (₹10.55 lakh), though the Jimny’s off-road prowess and 4WD system add premium value. Higher trims might hit ₹14.97 lakh, offering extras like the 9-inch touchscreen and dual-tone colors. Festive deals through Diwali 2025 could toss in cashback or free accessories, so check with dealers. For a 4x4 pickup with this much versatility, the price feels like a green light to get to work—and play.
Rivals That Feel the Heat
The Jimny Pickup steps into a niche but crowded segment:
Mahindra Bolero Pik-Up (₹9.12 lakh): 75 bhp, 13 kmpl, higher payload but no 4WD.
Isuzu D-Max (₹10.55 lakh): 78 bhp, 12 kmpl, tougher but thirstier.
Tata Xenon (₹10.99 lakh): 110 bhp, 11 kmpl, more power but less agile.
The Jimny’s 16.94 kmpl and ALLGRIP Pro 4WD outshine the Bolero and Xenon for efficiency and off-road grit, while its compact size beats the D-Max for maneuverability. It’s the small-but-mighty pick for those who need a do-it-all ride.
Challenges on the Road Ahead
The Jimny Pickup isn’t perfect—there are bumps to navigate. The 150 kg payload (estimated from Jimny van specs) is low for heavy-duty jobs; the Bolero Pik-Up hauls 1,500 kg by comparison. Some X posts note the Jimny’s 16.94 kmpl might dip to 13 kmpl off-road with a full load, so plan your fuel stops. The lack of rear ABS deactivation (a carryover from the SUV) might frustrate hardcore off-roaders, and the 2025 launch hasn’t confirmed if India gets the pickup bed’s full specs—cargo dimensions and tie-down strength are still speculative. Small business owners might also wish for more cabin storage for tools. Still, for a compact 4x4 that balances work and play, these are just ruts on the trail to greatness.
Who’s It Built For
This pickup’s for the hustlers who don’t clock out at 5—small business owners hauling goods by day, adventurers hitting trails by dusk. It’s for contractors needing a rugged ride for light loads, eco-conscious explorers who want 16.94 kmpl efficiency, and weekend warriors who’d rather camp than commute. The 210mm ground clearance suits off-road getaways, and the price fits budget buyers upgrading from a basic 2WD pickup. It’s not for heavy haulers or luxury seekers, but if you live for the grind and the getaway, the Jimny Pickup’s got your back.
Where to Find Your Ride
Suzuki’s 600+ dealerships across India—from Hyderabad to Jaipur—should have the Jimny Pickup in stock since its April 24, 2025 launch. Online bookings via Suzuki’s e-shop or Flipkart are live, with EMIs starting at ₹42,000/month. Metro cities might deliver faster, but smaller towns could see a 10–15-day wait.
