- Very well equipped base variant with 6 airbags, LED lights, touchscreen, rear AC vents, four-speaker sound system, height adjustable driver’s seat and remote locking and unlocking.
- Boot space is better than most compact SUVs.
- Looks quirky with its upright stance, compact dimensions and fun colours

Mahindra Thar ROXX
Maruti Jimny
- Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
- Efficiency is low, even in the RWD variants. Expect under 10 kmpl with petrol and under 12 kmpl with diesel automatics.
- White interiors - especially the fabric roof gets dirty easily and won't be easy to clean. The leatherette seats are easier to manage.
- Lacks cabin practicality like storage spaces and bottle holders
- Engine performance is underwhelming with a full load
