Finally, after stalling for months, the country’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, has announced the pricing for its highly awaited five-door lifestyle off-roader, the Jimny. Along with the announcement, the company has shared a new television commercial (TVC) to showcase the SUV’s off-road capabilities. The new TVC depicts the Jimny conquering challenging terrains and reaching its destination for a noble cause.
Maruti Suzuki has released the latest promotional advert on their official Nexa Experience channel. The TVC begins with a Jimny standing in a long queue on a mountain road, which becomes blocked due to falling rocks. Subsequently, the Jimny emerges from a dust cloud, symbolizing its triumph over the rocks and its ability to overcome the blocked road. The car is then shown driving through deserted plains, kicking up dust along the way.
