Maruti Suzuki Gypsy has been the go to choice for the Indian army for the longest time. But now the army seems to have found a formidable replacement for Border Patrolling. The Suzuki would soon replace the Gypsy that are available in the Central Armed Police Forces ( CAPF). ITBP has already been delivered with 60 Maruti Suzuki Jimny’s already.
CAPF To Get Suzuki Jimny’s
As per the official word that has been published by Indo- Tibetan Border Police, these new vehicles would be used in extreme conditions along the borders of Arunachal Pradesh, Leh Ladakh. They would perform all the necessary duties of the UITBP forces and aid them in every which way possible.
Would The Jimny Be Enough
The question is would the Suzuki Jimny be able to easily tackle the conditions of the border region. The temperature in some of the remote region where the border passes from reaches – 45 degrees. The Jimny would be able to easily tackle these situations as it has been purposefully build to survive such situations with ease. Beyond these functionalities the ability of the vehicle to have low range gear boxes as well as high ratio gearboxes would further allow the car to drive easily above some of the hardest terrains that are possible.
Engine And Off Road Capabilities
The Jimny has a dedicated 4×4 powertrain system, with a allgrip 4wd system that allows the vehicle to easily drive on some of the hardest terrains possible. Beyond such off-roading prowess the vehicle also has 2WD-high, 4WD High and 4Wd low capabilities. The jimny has a three link rigid axle suspension for better stability on uneven terrains.
The jimny is powered by a 1.5 litre engine that produces 105 BHP and a peak torque of 134Nm while these might seem like dainty figures but coupled with the light body of the Jimny these can easily tackle any situation that might befall in front of the vehicle. The Price of Jimny Now start at Rs 12.76 lakh to Rs 14.97 Lakh.
