Pros & Cons

Thar Pros & Cons	Jimny Pros & Cons
Pros	The Thar offers 'go-anywhere' capabilities with its 4x4 hardware. Comes with better safety features such as ESP, TPMS, hill-hold and descent control The automatic transmission is super smooth Refined petrol and diesel engine options are available The customers can choose from RWD & 4X4 drivetrain It offers better practicality as compared to the old Thar Mahindra Thar comes with a convertible soft top	More practical family car with 5-door configuration as compared to Thar & Gurkha The interior offers decent space for 4-adults and some small luggage The retro-modern design looks good and the striking colour options make it a head-turner. The lightweight and small dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre The car offers many features. Such as a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, LED headlamps, cruise control, and headlamp washer. The 4X4 hardware is standard across all trims The 1.5-litre NA K15B engine is fuel efficient. It also comes with the option of a smooth torque converter automatic transmission. Many safety features are available. These include 6 airbags, traction control, hill-hold and hill descent control, 3-point seatbelts for all, brake-based limited-slip differential, and ESP.
Cons	It can’t be your regular family car The ride quality is not good, it always remain unsettled specially at higher speeds It offers 2 doors and 4 seats option, accessing the rear seat is bit of an effort The petrol engine is not efficient It lacks premium and some important features such as rear camera, auto dimming IRVM, no rear wiper It boasts a premium price tag No room for luggage on the back	The 1.5-liter NA petrol engine with 103 bhp power isn't as enjoyable to drive as the engines in the Thar and Gurkha. The small size doesn't give it a tough off-roader look The steering isn't light; it feels firm The 5-speed manual transmission has a heavy clutch The footwell area is a bit cramped; tall drivers might find it uncomfortable Strictly a 4-seater; fitting a 5th passenger will be difficult It lacks some features like LED DRLs, TPMS, and auto wipers, among others There's limited storage inside the cabin, and the boot space is only suitable for small bags
