Maruti Suzuki Gypsy is an iconic 4×4 SUV that was available on sale in India. Maruti discontinued the compact SUV due to changing emission and safety norms. It was a popular SUV among off-road enthusiasts and even the armed forces used it as their official vehicle for years. Even today there are several examples of neatly modified Maruti Gypsy from different parts of the country and we have featured many of them on our website as well. Foreign markets have already received Jimny available in international markets which is the successor of Gypsy. Here we have a video that shows a neatly modified Maruti Gypsy from Northeast Motors.
The video has been uploaded by All in One Entertainment on their YouTube channel. The video talks about all the modifications that have been done to the SUV. Starting with the paint, it gets a premium Satin Grey paint on the body and other elements are finished in matte black. The combination of Grey and matte black looks good on the SUV. Best part about this modification is that most of the panels installed on the Gypsy were made by Northeas Motors at their workshop.
