Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Jimny
- Looks quirky with its upright stance, compact dimensions and fun colours
- Spacious for four people
- Ride comfort is well-tuned for city duties despite being a capable off-roader
- Lightweight and amateur-friendly off-roader that'll keep seasoned off-road drivers happy too
- Boot space is usable for suitcases even with all seats up
Tata Nexon
- Futuristic design with interesting details: LED daytime running lamps and tail lamps with animations, 16-inch alloy wheels, and full-LED headlamps. Gives it great road presence.
- Has every imaginable feature: panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation, 360° camera, leatherette upholstery. Feels premium.
- Impressive infotainment package: 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch driver’s display and a brilliant JBL sound system.
- Available with petrol and diesel engines, both offered with automatic transmissions.

Maruti Jimny
- Lacks cabin practicality like storage spaces and bottle holders
- Engine performance is underwhelming with a full load
Tata Nexon
- Interior storage space is poor. No cupholders, lack of space for phones/wallets hampers everyday usability.
- Fit and finish could be improved in the interior. Misaligned panels take away from the experience.
