On paper, the Thar wins. But in the real off roading, the driver skill is more important than the specs. Many a times a well driven Jimny will match or even better a Thar in many situations.

The biggest advantage of Jimny is its size. It can drive over narrow trails where a Thar would be stuck. The Jimny is the one to have for serious off roading in tight spaces.
