Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Mahindra Thar 2025-2026
- Attention grabbing design. Looks macho and has a strong road presence
- Available with petrol and diesel engines with a choice of 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions for both.
- More tech: Brake based differential locking system, auto locking rear mechanical differential, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 with low range, 10.25-inch touchscreen with off-road gauges, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and navigation
- Improved noise vibration and harshness management offers a more refined experience
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 2025-2026
- Stiff ride quality. Deals with bad roads well but sharp bumps can unsettle the cabin quite easily
- Old school ladder frame SUV and behaves like one. Loads of body roll even on mild curves
- Some cabin flaws: Rear windows aren’t openable and thick B pillars create large blind spots to the side
- Not an alternative to family-friendly sub-compact/compact SUVs that are more comfortable, practical, spacious and feature-loaded
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.
