Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Jimny
- Attention grabber: Quirky styling, upright SUV stance, compact dimensions and bright exterior hues.
- Spacious enough for four adults.
- Ride comfort: Despite being a capable off-roader, offers good ride comfort in the city.
- Easy to drive: lightweight and amateur-friendly off-roader makes off-roading easy for amateurs.
- Boot space: Usable enough for airport runs, even with all the rows up.
Force Gurkha
- Looks intimidating on the road
- Off-road capability
- Now offers creature comforts like touchscreen, power windows and USB chargers
- Ride comfort over bad roads
- Commanding driving position

Maruti Suzuki Jimny
- Cabin Practicality: Lacks basics like bottle holders in the doors and no seat back pockets.
- Engine performance: Adequate for the city, but feels underwhelming on a highway, especially with a full load.
Force Gurkha
- No automatic on offer
- Cabin feels dated
- Rear seats get lap belts
- High-speed stability
