Maruti Suzuki unveils 5-Door Jimny; Check details on price and more

-

Maruti Suzuki on Wednesday launched the highly anticipated Jimny. The vehicle will be offered in six different variants, with the base model starting at an ex-showroom price of Rs 12.74 lakh. The range-topping variant, the Jimny Alpha AT (Dual Tone), will be priced at Rs 15.05 lakh (ex-showroom).

The company aims to not only achieve significant sales with this new offering, but also establish itself as a dominant player in the rapidly growing sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment, where it aspires to secure the top position.

Maruti Suzuki anticipates that the Jimny will contribute to securing the leading position in the SUV segment. Equipped with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, the Jimny also provides customers with the option of a subscription plan, with an all-inclusive monthly fee starting from Rs 33,550.

The following are the available trims of the Jimny according to the price list: Zeta MT (Rs 12.74 lakh), Zeta AT (Rs 13.94 lakh), Alpha MT (Rs 13.69 lakh), Alpha AT (Rs 14.89 lakh), and two dual-tone variants – Alpha MT (Rs 13.85 lakh) and Alpha AT (Rs 15.05 lakh). According to NDTV, all prices mentioned are ex-showroom.

The Jimny was first showcased at the Auto Expo earlier this year in January. Prior to the official launch, Shashank Srivastava, Senior Executive Officer (Sales and Marketing) at Maruti Suzuki India (MSI), expressed confidence in the positive impact the Jimny will have on the overall brand value of the company. He stated that the Jimny’s reputation as a capable SUV with a rich legacy will greatly contribute to Maruti’s overall push in the SUV segment in the country.

Maruti Suzuki has invested Rs 960 crore in developing the five-door Jimny variant. The 3-door Jimny model has already achieved global success, with over 3.2 million units sold across 199 countries and regions. The company’s 3-door Jimny is only for export purposes, as it’s not a good fit for the Indian market. Maruti Suzuki’s Chief Technical Officer, CV Raman had earlier told V3Cars that the 3-door Jimny won’t give the kind of traction that is desired.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
