Locally sold Suzuki Jimnys will continue to be sourced from Japan. This comes after a report that the miniature off-roader will be produced at the Maruti Suzuki Gurgaon Plant in India just to fast track the delivery of its units.
As per the Japanese automaker, Indian-built Jimnys shall be exported to Middle East, Latin America, and Africa markets. Other ASEAN countries including the Philippines were not mentioned by the brand. Therefore, Suzuki Philippines will continue importing units from the land of the rising sun.
The India Plant already started production of the Jimny, with the first unit rolled out from the facility. As expected, Indian-built Jimnys do not differ from the ones produced in Japan. Both the Gurgaon Plant in India and Kosai Plant in Japan build the left-hand drive and the right-hand drive configured units.
