Maruti is the market leader after all and it would not want to let the Koreans have all the fun.

The off-road car will come with a 300 mm longer wheelbase, a pair of additional doors and a different grille.

The car will be 300 mm longer than the 3-door Jimny Sierra and will also be 100 kg heavier.

In all, Suzuki Motor Gujarat has a total production ability of 7.5 lakh units per annum.

The automaker has cited rising input costs for the price hike and is not alone in undertaking such an exercise.

Soon, the firm is expected to launch diesel variants of its C-segment sedan, Ertiga MPV and compact SUVs.

Both firms are also developing an MPV and a midsize SUV to take on the products of their South Korean rivals.
