Great review, Nikhil, as always. A couple of quick points: steering knuckle design on solid axles vis-a-vis independent front suspension results in larger turning radius for Jimny. Thar's plastic roof is a no no in my book and Thar's portly weight and dimensions clearly are a handicap on the ruff stuff. I wish Jimny came with a six speed torque converter though. For people living in the hills Jimny is a better bet and for the folks in the plains Thar is the way to go. Overall Jimny seems to be a better engineered product.

If we see everything only based on practicality and for families there will not be real good vehicles in India. There should be option for the people in India for the 3 door Jimny.

The three door Jimny is pointless in the face of the 5 door when the 5 door is better in all ways. The only downside with the 3 door is that the backseats of the 5 door dont have that rough back plastic coating to make it easier to slide in loads and put in things that could easily scratch the fabric.

@@mindfreeze0838There is no use in arguing with people of ur kind of mindset where the huge number of Indian population see everything based only on value and cost and practicality. Thats why the enthusiasts in India are not able to enjoy the good things which are available all over the world in more than 190 countries as 3 door Jimny. Where the 5 door was developed for Indian families in mind who think they only need to be considered. As I said before this should be launched in limited numbers in India. Nobody is forcing you to take 3 door Jimny. There are some consumers who like the original correctly propotioned internationally available one, not the stretched 5 door one.

Internationally one of the main complaints about the Jimny was its lack of practicality in the boot. It should also be noted that no one seems to know yet if markets that offer the 3 door will discontinue it for the 5 door, however I dont think its feasible as those markets have customers cutting their orders for the 3 door in favour of the 5 door. Look both cars drive roughly the same and the market is not there worldwide for the 3 door. If you really, really want the 3 door youll have to get it on your own.

All in all, I feel the Jimny is priced a bit too high for what it offers. Both performed exceptionally well off-road, and I didn’t see the Jimny showing any clear advantage over the Thar. However, most people won’t be taking these off-road as much as one might think, and their use might be limited to that of a rugged lifestyle SUV feel that many want to experience while living in the urban jungle, and that’s where the Thar clearly WINS, with its large size, imposing stance and a commanding seating position, which are the aspects most would care about. Even the reasonably priced 4X2 Thar provides all these things, and so for me… THAR IS THE WINNER HERE.

@debasisghadai3633 9 ай бұрын

Not too high, manual variants are cheap compared to automatic. People are losing their mind when they are seeing top model automatics or automatic variants in general. Also you're not gonna do much with a 4x2 when the roads are slushy or muddy.

I agree the Jimny is a bit overpriced. However you clearly forgot to mention many points- 1. You are incorrect about the stance one. People (who are buying their vehicles for a purpose and not showoff) are searching for vehicles which are light and small but yet have good amount of usable space.. The Thar is wider than an Endeavor and is bigger than Jimny in every dimension hence making it much heavier which i s a disadvantage in Offloading. And yet its second row is unusable, it doesn't have a boot space too. 2. Thar RWD? Why not buy a Compact SUV like Nexon instead or Bolero Neo? An offroad vehicle built on a rugged ladder on frame chassis with its own demerits compared to the Urban Compact SUVs interms of space, practicality, ride quality, handling etc, all sacrificed for Offroad and yet doesn't get the main offloading feature, 4x4. It's literally an embarrassing show off varient.

Superb review! To me, Jimny offers originality, cute looks, and its design shows the DNA of Gypsy. Thar, on the other hand, while having a better engine, is a blatant design copy of Jeep Wrangler. A legal battle with Jeep in international court, that Mahindras lost and eventually faced a ban for export of Thar to most of the first world countries. To me, while the engine is important, originality and creativity come first. Mahindras, sorry, but you lack originality, so I am going with the Jimny. 😊

The Jimmy needs wider tires. It’ll look even better then and it’s off road ability will be greatly improved. I guess Maruti sticks on these puny tires to keep the cost down.

Jimny is a reliable offroader and the quality is par excellence compared to Mahindra Thar. Thar is bumpy, has quality gitches, interiors aren’t up to the mark, above all its just a weekend call… Jimny can be used as a regular car of the house with weekend offroading.

Maruti tried to make an all rounder while Thar targeted a very specific audiance and I think there maruti miscalculated. As you say in the end, Jimny will do well as the sole car of your household. But is there anyone who buys these kind of cars if they already dont own any car?

@manthenvashishth3769 9 ай бұрын

Considering how bad the stock thar suspension setup is and how little articulation is there I think jimny clearly trumps over thar in almost every way except the road presence. But hey they are Off roaders so presence on road kinda feels irrelevant. But most of the mahindra Bois can't accept this fact mentioned above and call everyone who points out cons of thar a Korean fan.

I haven't understood why Tata hasn't created a real hardcore offroader as a successor to the old Safari (perhaps under a "Sumo" badge?). After all, they can count on the design expertise of JLR to create one.

If you really want to compare, put same tyres on both vehicles. Tyres are very important aspect, especially in rainy conditions. Change of tyres can change the performance upside down! With different tyres, sorry but this comparo makes very less sense.

Jimny is best because company consider about off road.. When the word off road show the meaning it mean small road and moody and congestion area. And sometimes if the jimny get stock you can oush it by only two or single people not like thar is too big and heavy material but useless things.. Jimny is best quality for outside the body is Very good built quality...
