City-wise price variance
Resale values for the Jimny vary by 3–5 percentage points across Indian metros, driven by supply-demand tightness, RTO transfer friction, and CNG infrastructure. Numbers below are deltas against the all-India mid.
What drives the Jimny's resale value
The 5-door Jimny launched in India in June 2023, bringing Suzuki's long-running ladder-frame off-roader nameplate to the mainstream market for the first time with a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine, standard AllGrip Pro 4WD, and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed torque-converter automatic. Unlike most of Maruti's line-up, the Jimny is positioned as a lifestyle and weekend off-roading vehicle rather than daily-use family transport.
Demand at launch significantly outstripped supply, with waiting periods stretching past a year in several cities, and that scarcity has carried over into the used market: low-production-volume, high-demand dynamics keep resale values unusually firm for a Maruti product in this price bracket, closer to what enthusiast-driven imports or limited-run models command.
Because the Jimny is bought primarily by enthusiasts rather than commuters, odometer readings tend to be lower than class norms, and well-kept, low-km examples attract a buyer pool willing to pay close to new-car pricing in the first two to three years, a pattern not seen on volume-selling Maruti models like the Swift or Brezza.
The ladder-frame construction and body-on-frame practicality (removable rear seats, genuine 4WD with low-range transfer case) give it strong cross-shop appeal against the Mahindra Thar, and this body type's enduring popularity in India underpins a depreciation curve that is notably flatter than typical compact SUVs through the first five years.
How TheResaleValue calculates these numbers
Resale bands aggregate wholesale transaction prices across Indian metros, refreshed monthly. Age is calculated in whole years from the manufacturing date on the RC. Kilometre bands are self-reported and rounded to the nearest band. City adjustments apply an RTO-level multiplier on the all-India mid.

Frequently asked questions
What is the resale value of a Maruti Jimny in India?
A well-kept Jimny retains roughly 80% of its ex-showroom price after two years and about 72% after three years, still at around 59% by year five, among the strongest retention curves in the compact SUV segment as of September 2026. A 2024 Zeta MT with under 10,000 km trades close to its original ex-showroom price.
Why does the Jimny hold value better than other Maruti models?
Demand has consistently outstripped supply since its 2023 launch, and its enthusiast-driven buyer base keeps resale values firm. Its 3-year retention of about 72% sits well above the compact SUV segment average of 61%.
Does the automatic Jimny resell better than the manual?
The 4AT variants trade only a small premium over the manual at resale, since most buyers value the Jimny's off-road capability and styling over transmission choice, unlike more commuter-focused SUVs where automatics command a larger gap.
How much does a Jimny depreciate per year?
A Jimny loses only about 11% of value in year one and continues at a slower 4-6 percentage point annual retention drop through year five, reaching roughly 59% retention, meaningfully flatter than the typical compact SUV curve.
Which city gives the best resale price for a Jimny?
Mumbai and Bengaluru trade around +3% above the national mid due to limited supply and strong weekend off-roading demand, while Kolkata trades roughly -2% because of a smaller niche-SUV buyer pool.
