The new-gen Maruti Gypsy or the Maruti Suzuki Jimny was showcased at the Auto Expo 2020. What we saw was a 3-door version of the Jimny. It is believed that the Indian market will get the 5-door version of the Jimny. This new generation Maruti Gypsy will go on sale through the Nexa dealerships which are a chain of the premium MSI dealerships. Likely to be called the Gypsy, this car will most probably hit the dealerships by 2021.
