Pros	The big stance and butch design give it an imposing road presence The 2.8-liter diesel engine is responsive and powerful making it a fun-to-drive SUV The 2.7-litre petrol engine is also available with a good level of refinement The 6-speed AT gearbox is smooth It offers a decent number of features such as a quad-LED headlamp, ventilated seats, wireless charging, a powered tailgate, premium JBL speakers, and more The body-on-frame construction offers a tough build quality to the SUV It comes with a good number of safety features such as 7-airbags, traction control, hill-hold assist, ESP, and more Good long-term reliability backed by Toyota’s widespread service network Good resale value and low-cost service	Great ride quality with utmost comfort on offer Maintain the legacy of off-roading with its lineage. A better alternative for the Fortuner. Premium and plush interiors with great tech on offer.
Cons	It comes with an expensive price tag with top models going near Rs 50 lakh (on-road), GR-S variant costs Rs 51 lakh (ex-showroom) The Legender variant misses on petrol engine, manual transmission, and more The petrol engine is available in 2WD drivetrain only It misses on most of the modern features such as a sunroof, ADAS, captain seat option, TPMS, adaptive parking guidelines, and some more The petrol version only gets a 6-speaker setup after paying a premium price tag The big size gives body roll while taking corners and the steering feels heavy Some things could have been better such as the parking camera quality, plastic material quality, and the music system	Jeep’s after-sales and service can be an issue. The third row is cramped and best suited for children Some lag can be felt in downshifts in the automatic gearbox. No petrol powertrain on offer
