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.
Mahindra Thar OG
- Classic ‘Jeep’ looks, butch and square stance turns heads.
- Powerful 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine options. Great for highway trips while smooth for city driving too.
- Electronic locking differential, terrain modes and new suspension setup improve off-road capability and ride comfort.

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.
Mahindra Thar OG
- Cramped rear seat access and space. Best for occasional use only.
- No automatic option with 1.5-litre diesel engine. Limits choice for city drivers.
- Missing features: Auto dimming IRVM, 360 degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay.
- 6 airbags not part of standard equipment.
