Looks like a maruti from the back. Hyundai India design team has gone downhill since they launched Creta (2020). The global team is however making excellent cars like Ioniq 5.
Hyundai isnt designing some special cars for India, Ioniq is a different marque of theirs just like Genesis
Look at the image you would find seoul(capital city of south korea) car spotter written there

So the new Jimny is underpowered and not same quality as old Gypsy.

But most reviewers have been paid handsomely by Maruti. Team-BHP wrote contradictory Pros and Cons.

Similarly other YouTubers doing the same.
They are trying too much to hide the Cons even trying to present Cons as Pros.

Auto car waala's saying engine is underpowered but then goes to say you will get habitual to its underperformance.

All Maruti's are underpowered. Even their Grand Vitara is underpowered. Maruti hoping to get the market share of buyers who want Thar at lower price decided to give the same underpowered engines.

Thar 3 door on the other hand have great power and torque figures. Also we can expect the similar kind of power and torque figures for their 5 door versions.

Similarly, Team-BHP:
"On one hand the review states that Jimny is way ahead of Thar in terms of comfort. On the other hand, it also states that the Jimny will struggle against the Thar in sheer power on the highways."

India Surpasses Japan to become 3rd Largest Auto Market Globally
India Surpasses Japan to become 3rd Largest Auto Market Globally

In a major development, India has surpassed Japan in terms of auto sales last year to become the third-largest auto market globally for the first time. India’s total sales of new vehicles stood at around 4.25 million units, based on preliminary results, topping the 4.2 million sold in Japan. While new vehicles that got delivered in India totaled 4.13 million during the period of January – November 2022, according to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers’ data, December’s sales volume reported by Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, led the total to hit the 4.25 million units mark. The figure for sales of new vehicles in India may witness even bigger rise as the country further expects inclusion of pending fourth-quarter sales data for commercial vehicles, along with year-end results yet to be released by Tata Motors and other automakers.
Impressive Progress In Indian auto industry: The figures are impressive after fluctuations that were witnessed in the Indian auto industry between 2018-2020. From In 2019, volume had fallen even below the 4 million unit mark from the about 4.4 million figure of 2018. A lot of this downfall was a result of the credit crunch that had impacted the nonbank sector that year.
This was followed by the obvious decline in the year 2020 because of the COVID-19 outbreak when vehicle sales fell even lower than the 3 million unit mark. In 2021, the auto sales bounced back to close to 4 million unit again. However, the sales figure was hampered because of shortage of automotive chips.
In 2022, the automotive chip issue began to ease up, paving way for the sector to come to normalcy. Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and other automakers could see an increase in sales last year.
India is now the 3rd largest car market in the world


A Further Growing Sector:
India is home to 1.4 billion people, and its population is expected to outstrip China sometime this year and continue growing until the early 2060s. Incomes are rising as well.
Only 8.5 per cent of Indian households owned a passenger vehicle in 2021, according to British research firm Euromonitor, meaning there is plenty of room for sales growth. The government has started offering subsidies for EVs amid a trade deficit resulting from petroleum imports.
China Is At The Top, Way beyond The World:
In 2021, China continued to lead the global auto market, with 26.27 million vehicles sold. The US remained second at 15.4 million vehicles, followed by Japan at 4.44 million units.
Downfall of Japan’s Auto Sales:
Japan’s auto sales had hit an all-time high of 7.77 million units in the year 1990. The sales have fallen by almost half ever since. And given the country’s dwindling population, there’s little chance of sales to rebound significantly in the future or anytime soon. Japan surpassed by China as the second-largest vehicle market in 2006. China further achieved good growth in the sector and overtook the United States to acquire the top slot for global market size in 2009.

Peoples in Hills are still running their 800 , Nano;s, boleros & alto happily after 20 years with available E10 fuels..

Being a purist, I will pick a ICE car anyday over these EV;s or Pure Hybrids
My OLA S1 Pro finally arrived after a long wait. After initial driving found it lot better than ICE scooters.

Go for Electric if budget allows.

Share ownership user experience and sundry other details once it becomes an indispensable part of your daily commuting.

Btw how long was the wait...?

New Triumph Speed and Scrambler 400 launched in UK (July 5 India launch). Developed and manufactured by Bajaj and will also be exported. Similar partnership also happening between Hero and Harley. A great boost for make in India.
