Rs 12 lakh Jimny competition already here
The lifestyle SUV market has been growing rapidly in India. Earlier, these SUVs were more of a niche product, but now more and more people are buying them. The Thar is one such car that has contributed a lot to make them popular. But the Thar is on the expensive side and everyone is not able to afford it. Mahindra is working on a cheaper Thar, but they already have a capable car in the form of the Bolero Neo. The N10(O) variant of the Bolero Neo gets the 2WD with MTT capable of off-roading. In today’s article, we will be talking about this Rs 12 lakh Jimny competition.
