What The Maruti Suzuki Jimny Offers Over Mahindra Thar
Maruti Suzuki India Limited took over the whole Auto Expo 2023 by revealing the long-awaited five-door Jimny. Although, just before the exhibition, the country’s largest utility maker, Mahindra Auto, unveiled its RWD version of the lifestyle off-roader Thar. Even before the Jimny was unveiled, every enthusiast assumed that these cars will compete in the country for the title of greatest lifestyle off-roaders in India.
Now, to assist purchasers in making an even more educated selection between the two, we are providing you this list that details exactly what the newest Maruti SUV features that the more costly Mahindra Thar does not. So, without further ado, let’s get started.
Six airbags
With the country’s increasingly severe safety standards, automakers have been required by government authorities to increase the amount of airbags in new vehicles. For this reason, the Maruti Suzuki SUV is equipped with a staggering six airbags. The Mahindra Thar, on the other hand, comes standard with only two airbags.
ARKAMYS-powered Surround Sense
The Surround Sense powered by ARKAMYS is standard on the company’s Maruti Suzuki Jimny. This system is equipped with four speakers. Meanwhile, the Mahindra comes just with a basic Mahindra infotainment system and four speakers. (As an added bonus, the Kia Sonet and Seltos come with an Arkamys sound system.)
The touchscreen is much larger.
The top-of-the-line Mahindra Thar LX boasts a nice 7-inch Touch Screen Infotainment System with Navigation. However, it pales in comparison to the newly released Jimny five-door entertainment system. The Jimny is outfitted with a large 10.5-inch infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (Wireless).
Headlamp Cleaners
Another item that the Mahindra Thar lacks is the availability of headlight washers. The Jimny has this now-rare characteristic, which even some of the most expensive vehicles in the nation lack. This function is especially useful while offroading in muddy terrains since it allows you to clean the headlights without having to travel to the front of the car.
4 doors for quick entry and exit
This advantage of the Jimny five door may not stay long because Mahindra will shortly debut the Thar five door edition as well. For the time being, though, the Jimny is the more practical of the two variants. The Jimny’s four doors will make it easier for passengers and the driver to enter and exit. (hitechgazette)
A solid front axle improves off-road performance.
The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is available with a solid front axle, which means it has a better grip over large bumps and hills and obtains more torque from the differential since there are fewer pieces through which power must pass. Meanwhile, the Thar’s independent front suspension improves agility and maneuverability and provides greater mobility to the front wheels.
Headlamps that project light
The Jimny comes standard with an LED projector headlight arrangement, which everyone knows is superior for visibility. Meanwhile, the Mahindra Thar comes standard with basic halogen headlights. (Alprazolam)
Much lighter vehicle
When it comes to off-capabilities, a roader’s weight is one of the most important differentiating elements. This is one of the reasons why the Gypsy, Jimny’s spiritual precursor, was one of the most proficient off-roaders to be released in India. The new Jimny has a gross weight of 1545 kgs, whereas the Thar has a weight of 2,214 kgs.
