Which one would you put your money on - the Jimny or the Thar?
Thar !!
Jimny..
Am not sure but Suzuki should have considered it's 1.6L at least, i guess it would have worked and no one would have complained.
Jimny.
@@vineetlele1489 bro its power is decent, more power will make it less stable because of its size
you can live with suzuki not with other for long
One of more fun comparisons I’ve done in a while
Joke of the day 😂😂😂
Where is the real king of Offroading Force Gurkha???
Where would you put your money as an individual, not as the Editor of Evo India?
Amazingggg
Gurkha is just like tata sumo
Jimny- Better offroad, sure cheaper to maintain, better handling, leagues ahead in ride quality, infinite mod possibilities, reliability wise its not even on the same planet as the Thar and lets not talk about after sales. Unless you are waiting to massage your insecure and false sense of ego with the dimensions of the Thar, the Thar isnt any competition. THis is indeed the only Maruti you should buy currently. Its a once in a lifetime car. Period.
Amen to that!
Couldn't have said it better.
I had higher expectations from EVO on this much awaited comparison. There really was no need for drifting these two on loose gravel or go on and on about how much better the Jimny rides than the Thar - the former is an unnecessary stunt, suited to sedans and the latter has been well-established by now. With the dramatic monsoons all over the country, the expectations were to see these two gems in their real-purpose environment - a slush-fest, not some mealy old quarry 😅 Your channel doesn’t disappoint often, but for me, you dropped the ball this time Sirish.
Nah the drift was amazing and the only other SEDAN that can do this drift is 60+ lacks because there are no reasonable RWD Sedan in india.
yes🥲
Thank you for the feedback and your constructive criticism. Will keep it in mind for our next videos on the same theme
Thank you for the feedback! It helps us make better content for you! :)
Jimny is all rounder ❤❤
Daily use vechile 🎉🎉
The same can be said for the Thar, but with 2 extra doors, the Jimny becomes easier to use.
@@evoIndiasame can be said for thar? No one wants a cracked spine
I will choose Jimny over thar because it’s a truly good choice for people who is a family guy and do some type of moderate offroading, city drive, village narrow road drive, easy to maintain, also have bigger boot space, solid axle (which only have in jeep wrangler) and in future I can modify it because there is plenty of mods available in the global market, and yeah fuel efficiency is also the plus point in jimny. And yeah first thing I will do with Jimny is tyre upgradation😅 up to 215/75/15
People who want road presence and want more power definitely will go for thar, but people cant upgrade its performance, suspension well tested by brands because it is globally banned because of JEEP
You've really got everything sorted out 👍
But what about jimny safety rating?!!
About the steering play/Vagueness in the Gimny 08:39 : it uses a recirculating-ball type steering box, when compared to the much better Rack-&-Pinion setup in the Thar.
This also leads to the poorer turning circle radius on the Gimny.
The front solid axle setup in the Gimny would be prone to more body roll and understeer too.
Solid front axles in jimny is much better than IFS in Wrangler wannabe (thar)
But the solid axle means better off-roading capability too
Oh nice insights
Roi mithya Thar is two seater.. If someone sitting behind has to pee.. If ur wife sitting next to u 😂😂 she has to get down on make way for that person and then move mr roi bithya 😂😂😂😂
@@arjungowda535 Jimny also has a 3 door variant with the same issue. And Thar 5 door version is on the way
Great video. @12:30 that screeching while turning in the Thar. I had it in my old 2015 facelifted Thar as well, even though I had changed to Michelin ATs. But now I feel the tyres were the problem. Switched to Conti AX6 now after 8 years and that problem is gone!
Thanks. Do share the video with your mates and hit that like button 😀
90% people who own thar wont go off road... So having 5 door Jimny is best for city as well as ocassional off roading... Can trust Suzuki more than Mahindra.. Mahindra start burning ur pockets once vehicle cross its 50k mark.. So Jimny 👍
For them the 2WD Thar would be a great car. Mahindra has come a long way in terms of quality and refinement.
@@evoIndia Boss i sold my xuv 700 awd.. Only after driving it for 25k kms... It had hell lot of issues.. Had xuv 500 also.. It had some kind of failures.. First 10k kms almost my xuv500 was in service station... U will know refinement of mahindra only in Scorpio.. Otherwise Tata toyota maruti are the best in everything including service cost..
@@evoIndia mainly thar is two seater.. It cant be accepted if 4 people are touring with all their stuff.. And 5 seater thar will be priced around 30 to 32 lakhs... Better people go buy hilux then
@@arjungowda535i am from Bangalore and just bought jimny 2 days back and i have Mahindra bolero and XUV 300 too , i have odo clocking 70k in my XUV 300 but still now I have no problems in Mahindra , very very refined and very good reliability from Mahindra and obviously i love my jimny.
No car can be compared to a Thar... Jimny looks like a toy in front of a Thar...
Got back the Overdrive Pajero off road day memories😁😀
Haha! It's always a great day going off the road! ;)
Steering is reciprocating ball type.
We are used to rack and pinion.Similar to what we had in Omni.
I infact enjoy it.
Thrill of driving tagline justified again.... Super chill episode
Thank-you! 😁
Perfect Thar vs. Jimny comparison video till date🙌
Thank you so much! Which one will you pick from these?
Can't the ESP be fully disabled by pulling some fuses?
Never compromise on safety!
We desperately need a “Which one would be Sirish’s pick?” section in the end 😄
Haha! That's a nice idea!
Great Compare !!
The way you had a permanent smile plastered on your face while driving the Jimmy shows which one you would pick !! :)
Haha! Thank you!
Well, both are great cars, and you won't really go wrong with either.
Epic video, no winners here😂.
Loved this video.. too good
Thank you Mihir!
Jimny because it's the better off-roader of the two. Thar because of presence on roads.
It depends on the driver,jimny is an easy off roader but that doesn't mean thar is not capable as jimny.
Alto 800
G.O.A.T 😎
10:44 : @sirish, thats where your sliding skills are supposed to help take a tight U-Turn 😂
Haha!
22:40 My favorite part of this video review 😂
Jimny is better than Thar because it's small size is better in off-road conditions Thar may have better diesel engine, better built quality, bigger size, A/T tyres, 4 stars safety rating all in similar price range but Jimny has 5 doors which makes it practical (although it can't even hold a bottle)
you are mistaken saying small size will be better in offroad, the jimnys power is even less than budget car, in offroad torque matter lot not mileage. thar is a beast , jimny is not even 4X4 just awl drive. thar have true 4x4 with double the power what jimny offer at the same price.
Imagine a. Jimmy with 1.4 litre turbo booster jet with 140 bhp on a 1200 kg car , then jimmy is wayyy ahead of thar in terms of everything , it will be a monster off-roader
That would make it so much better. But that could also increase the prices considerably.
Yeahh but it will be worth every penny !!
You can supercharge this engine as well.
Good video and that water balance testing.
Hey, thanks a bunch!
Perfect Thar vs Jimmy Comparison-Sanjoga Waagleee
Hey, thank you so much! We hope you have given the video a like and a share!
Awesome bro. Waiting for Thar 5 door vs Jimny comparison
That can only happen once the 5-door Thar is launched!
@@evoIndia👍 S. Waiting for That 5 door launch
Dosent matter who wins in comparison but thar is thar man ❤️
Dream comparision ❤🎉
Thank you Sumesh!
Do tell us which one would be your pick?
Hi. Can I have a Gimny as my primary car. Uses mostly in city, with once in a month off-roading. Currently using 2010 Hyundai i10, which needs to be upgraded l.
Yes, jimny can be a primary car. The ride quality in jimny is good to be used as a family car....
Yes absolutely!
Considering the price and turning radius... We have better options, but if your city has narrow roads then hands down go for jimny cause it can fit in some tight narrow lanes and most importantly you don't need to be afraid of the little cockroaches(auto walas)😅 nicking you ride
Body Roll in Thar-Vertical
Body Roll in Jimny-Horizontal
Jimny is lovely with a aftermarket grill and 215 AT tyres . Just wished it had more power .
But it is all but brut macho appeal and intimidation that you are looking for , nothing can beat the thar
Yep, you've said it well.
Great🎉 ❤
Thank you!
Which road is this?? Looks like an awesome road to drive!
Just around Pune.
I think the play in steering is added for straight line stability.
I have seen steering which are very sensitive (like Ford, MG, VW) but slight movement in steering at cruise speed makes the car leave its lane.
There is a trade off between sensitivity and straight line stability.
That's one probability.
Thankyou🎉 i will choose Thar
JIMNY being projected as a LIFE-STYLE product feels under-powered and to carry a Full-Cabin in Hill-Drive / Highway Cruising Feels uncomfortable /Incompetent. JIMNY Feels confident only on OFF-ROAD in which case MS should have offered 3-door JIMNY in INDIA otherwise a Competent Engine Capable enough to deal both Applications.
Let's hope MS will listen.
Best comparison of all times
Thankyou. We hope you enjoyed watching it. Do share it with fellow enthusiasts and give it a like 😊
However powerful it might be ,Thar cannot compete with Jimny,s legendary status ..it’s an icon …
I came here after watching Action movie like drifting reels on these offroaders through instagram 😅👏
The said extra wide tyres for the jimny is not comparable as the comparision is between stock vehicles so its better to compare as they are 🙂
These were bone stock cars! What Sirish meant was that the upsized tyres would make the Jimny better.
@@evoIndiawhat size tyre would be best if i want to upgrade?
This review is targetted for casual city driver, if Video comparing neck to neck offroad capabilities will be fantastic
When is the 5 door thar coming?
Not in 2023 unfortunately
Gypsy n jimny can be handled by experienced not by you. Comparison itself is wrong . Compare gurkha n thar in off road .
You should have used the Thar diesel which is mostly sold
🎉👍
Man! I'm gonna say it "face to face it looks like the Thar is going to eat the Jimny"😂.
Hahaha! The Thar is massive in comparision!
Sirish why don’t you do a thorough comparo between Thar and Wrangler both off road and on road? It may just prove what Jeep must be dreading.
While that might sound interesting, those belong to completely different segments. Doesn't make it fair for either of the cars.
@@evoIndia I totally disagree. Because both are purpose built off road vehicles. The Thar to Indians is exactly what the Wrangler is to Americans. But it is true that from a pricing point of view Jeep / FCA have priced the Wrangler way out of reach for most people except the really well off. Saying all this, the test I am asking for is definitely necessary because I for one having used a lot of Mahindra Jeeps over the years and the Thar now am convinced that it will easily take on most of what the Wrangler can.
But of course, if you guys aren’t willing to do the test, then I can only surmise that you fear the ire of Jeep / FCA and that may jeopardise your journalistic relationships and in turn, they, like I said, fear that they’ll get shown up by the Thar.
I thought the video was about offroad but it was more about high speed cornering in these 4x4s.
It was a comprehensive comparison between different aspects.
The last water test was unnecessary. Proves nothing
What could we have done in its place, Ansar?
@@evoIndia you could have placed water in car itself.Other wise it proves the steadiness of guy holding the water which I think won’t be consistent. Idk May be I am wrong.
@@evoIndia Nice and entertaining review anyway.
It has been 40 minutes in this video,
Paused but reading comments 😂
Thar Anyday - ive fixed suspension (using Arc) and theyre much better in handling and comfort. I wonder if iron man or other soon to come can make a huge difference and probably then jimny’s ride wont be a deal breaker. I guess then it will be undisputed again 🙌🏻
There are many who have upgraded the suspension on the Jimny and had a better experience.
Thar have more bodyroll and short wheelbase...thats why many beginners topples its
There should b 2 Mode
1. 4×2
2. 4×4 (High)
No need of Locking Differential
Brake LSD is enough
I just surprised to here that Thar has less body roll then Jimny
Comfort of the car depend also on the wheelbase short wheelbasse is bounci than long wheelbase
Wheelbase has to do more with the driving dynamics. Comfort can always be altered with other components.
The most most important one is ... TOCHHAN ! 😄
Mahindra have the world class body roll
❤
We hope you gave the video a Like too!
knock off jeep or baby knock off g wagon? both beautiful
It's not a thar...its a sports car😄....the acceleration is just💨💨💨💨💨💨...Mstallion🔥
🔥🔥
stupid fanboy spotted. 😂
When he said Automatic.... 😂 I laughed
But as he says, the AT is better of the two transmissions, so why not use it?
How was the XUV 700 that you guys tagged along in these trails?? *pun intended* ..."making me also wet..hmmm"
Thar is a lifestyle vehicle more than a practical family vehicle. In the other hand Jimny is a practical family all rounder. I think a comparison between two is a waste of time.
That's the way they are perceived. But they are the fiercest of competitors.
Both have one in common , 8- 11KM / Litre mileage ,but Thar 2 litre & Jimny 1.5 😂😂😂😂
👍🏻
Thank you Aarav!
The car need to trust us . Honestly youre gen need to learn a lot sir
I don't know on what basis Suzuki brought this Junk Jimny here to India....😮😮😮
Lets be honest. Both these off-roaders are a compromise for the average indian. Only a real enthusiast will buy either of them. So to me thar is more heart over mind and wins hands down.
These are adventure vehicles. There are far better cars for driving on the highways or in the cities.
Thar The Mass❤
You buy a Jimny .. then you modify it . Make it yours .
Fun is all Time THAR
Haha!
Disappointing review. Limits of gradeability, wading, ruts/sand/mud -handling etc should have been compared instead of drift & drag. Cybertruck or what ???!!!
Simple buy thar and upgrade the suspension..much more safer than tin can company car especially our road conditions
But it's also more expensive!
@@evoIndia our life is priceless..!
Thar 🎉🎉
Would you get this one or wait for the 5-door Thar?
Look at tires.. No more comparison need😅
Apples to apples comparison 😂
Jimny petrol MT vs Thar petrol AT
And very first test is a drag race 😂
That was more for the fun. And as for the gearboxes, we have chosen the best of each car, which Sirish has explained in the video.
Dont say in india we buy cars like thar for Tashan
Masculine suvs are bought all over the world for tashan.
Less than 1 petcent do off roading.
Rest of them think that there version of ladakh is real off-roading where altos and punch can also go as easily.
Inshort thar will be the choice for the majority
For the people who want to own something different to be different ( you know the ones who think are the oficianados) when it comes to off road legacy shall choose the Jimmy
They basically ignore those needlessly huge American trucks and SUVs and the huge Land cruisers and Range rovers.
Well said. No harm in buying either one of them. Whatever the reason may be.
Gimny was looking very small when he hugged it
And it is!
You say apples to apples and then pit an AT against a manual 🤷🏼♂️
Seems like you missed the bit where Sirish explained the variant choice.
its just like the PS5 Vs XboxX
Aah, if you put it that way, yes!
Buy Force Ghurka for comfort and off road capabilities
However, it's too low on the power.
@@evoIndia - oh is it? How low is it, and how did you come to this conclusion?
Gunners know how to gun it . 😂
Jimny king
Guys you need to stop videos on Thar, it gets increasingly tough to not buy it and listen to the brain.
kya ho gaya? thar ko dekhte hi andar ka nukkad mawali jaag jata he kya 😂
Ratger than doing the drag race, u can fo to 0 to 100 to 0 test...
Thanks for the suggestion!
No comparison Thar is best!
nukkad ka mawali spotted 😂
What do you like the most about it?
Jimny ❤❤
Which colour would you have your Jimny in?
This video is sponsored by none other than Mahindra
water test .hello im under the water
Hahah!
Where is force gurkha 😡
I have changed dampers on my Thar
How has it affected its performance?
@@evoIndia it has improved the ride and handling significantly, at highway speeds it feels safer and comfortable. It cost me 65k but it is worth the extra money spent.
I don’t understand the hype behind the Jimny. Horrible built quality and lousy driving dynamics.
It more than makes up for it with its off-roading capabilities.
Very bad type of comparison . There is no any equality.
I Dont know how I came to this conclusion but the jimney felt way better to drive than the thar. It has a better drive, better composure even in off-road, while cornering in that thar I felt it would topple. Jimney has a lesser body roll. Maybe you didn’t corner hard enough. Only thing the thar does better than the jimney is the bigger engine and larger chasis. Oh and not to mention the thar doesn’t have brakes, it would have been better if they had put a load of bread in the callipers
bhai hindi me bola kar
So stupid of suzuki, for giving into d Indian demand for a 5 door vechicle…
The 3 door thar anytime looks good…
But if that's gonna get them numbers, it makes sense for them!
Review not upto the mark, would not recommend.
No Car can be compared to a Thar..... Jimny or whatever the name of that child toy is....stands no chance in front of Thar....
Chapri car.. size matters for under sized india
@@ussvmehar7352 yes Jimny is definitely a chapri car…
Toy car to be precise
Fallen from grace VS Undergoing Lawsuit for plagiarism lmao
Oh no!
