It’s the only option for  a fully equipped Maruti off-roader with more comforts and a bigger 9-inch touchscreen system

Maruti Jimny

The Maruti Jimny Alpha is loaded with features such as a 9-inch touchscreen, cruise control, auto-LED headlights, and auto climate control. However, if you wish to have these and more in your Maruti off-roader, it’s the range-topping Alpha variant that you need to pick. Let’s see if it’s worth the premium of around a lakh rupees over the Zeta:

Why Consider The Jimny Alpha?

If you are looking for a fully equipped version of the Maruti Jimny, the Alpha is your pick of the two. The carmaker has provided it with a plethora of premium comforts such as its latest 9-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, auto climate control, cruise control, and push-button start/stop. That said, there’s no new addition to the safety net over the entry-level Zeta variant, which already gets six airbags, electronic stability programme (ESP), and ISOFIX child seat anchorages.

This variant also looks worth the price tag with the auto-LED headlights, body coloured door handles and alloy wheels.

Let’s see what it has to offer:

What Could Have Been Better About The Jimny Alpha?

Although the Jimny packs a lot of modern tech compared to some of its prime rivals, it still feels lacking in terms of a few convenience features for its price. These include a 360-degree camera (an important friend indeed on off-road trips), and some more practical bits inside the cabin like bottle holders and storage spaces, all of which we feel could have been provided on the top-spec Alpha variant. While this generation of the Jimny is only built as a hard top model, fans of the Gypsy and Mahindra Thar will miss the option of a soft-top convertible.

Verdict

Zeta

Covers all the essentials with potential for accessories. Our suggestion is to go for the Alpha given the small price jump.

It’s our pick of the two for the feel-good features that it gets over the Zeta for a justified premium.
