Pros & Cons

Jimny Pros & Cons	Seltos Pros & Cons
Pros	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.	It offers an appealing design with aggressive front profile and offers segment best dimensions with enough legroom at the rear One of the most feature rich SUV in the segment with some segment first features such as dual-zone climate control, BOSE sound system, electrically-adjustable driver seat, dual 10.25-inch screens, and more Dual-pane panoramic sunroof is available from HTK+ variant It is available with three engine options a NA petrol, a turbocharged petrol and a diesel The interior quality, fit and finish of material makes the cabin more premium Good number of available interior colour options The suspension with 17-inch tyres is soft but not bouncy Fun to drive turbo petrol engine with 160PS of power The DCT and CVT gearbox options are smooth and easy to drive Loaded with good number of safety features such as ADAS Level 2, 6-airbags, TPMS and more
Cons	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	The base variants misses on features such as LED DRL, telescopic steering, keyless entry and some more The higher variants with 10.25-inch touchscreen misses on wireless connectivity The mid-variants lacks some features such as LED headlamp, electrically adjustable ORVMs and more No automatic transmission in first three variants i.e. HTE, HTK, & HTK+ The top-spec GTX+ variant goes over Rs 20 lakh on-road price tag The variants with 18-inch tyres have a stiffer suspension as compared to the one with 17-inch wheels The rivals offer more value for money
