How do the Indian roads work for the Jeeto Plus?
27 December 2024 09:34
People expect too much from a mini truck, I think. The Jeeto Plus isn't meant for off roading, but it manages the normal Indian roads just fine. The trick is to drive it sensibly and not overload it. I’ve driven mine on some pretty rough roads and it’s not the smoothest of rides, but it does the job and doesn’t break down.

I have driven both the Jeeto Plus and some of its rivals and personally I’d rate it as about average for its class. It has a great tight turning radius for the tight streets, but the ride gets a little bumpy on the fully loaded model. You get maneuverability but then you lose some comfort on rougher roads.

On varied road conditions, I’ve found the Jeeto Plus to be surprisingly capable. It won't ride plush on bad roads for sure, but it's tougher than it looks. Most obstacles I've come across have been cleared by the ground clearance. Remember, it’s meant to haul stuff, it isn’t a luxury vehicle, so set your expectations accordingly.
Is the Jeeto Plus payload capacity practical?
27 December 2024 09:34
In my experience, the payload capacity of the Jeeto Plus is pretty practical. I get it loaded up to about 600-650 kg without any problem. It handles well overall, sure, you feel the weight when climbing hills. The trick is to spread the load evenly. It’s been more than adequate for my small furniture delivery business.
Is the Jeeto Plus payload capacity practical?

I reckon the 715 kg capacity is a bit optimistic. The truck can carry that much, but it’s a real struggle if you try to load it all up. And while it feels sketchy and the handling is a bit sketchy, fuel efficiency takes a big hit. For better performance and safety I keep it under 500 kg. It’s still useful, but it isn’t going to perform miracles for you.
Is the Jeeto Plus payload capacity practical?
27 December 2024 09:34
It has decent payload capacity, but the real limitation is the size of the loading bay. I have on occasion been able to carry more weight, but bulky items just won't fit. If you’re hauling larger items, you’ll likely end up making multiple trips, but it’s great for dense, compact loads.

Considering that I have used a lot of mini trucks, I would say that Jeeto Plus' capacity is quite good. Yes it's not ideal when maxed out but what mini truck is? It’s more than enough for most small businesses. That said, just be smart about how you load it and don’t expect it to perform like a larger truck.
Is the Jeeto Plus payload capacity practical?
27 December 2024 09:34
It has fine payload capacity, but it is the overall design that impresses me. It has low loading height which makes it easy to load and unload heavy items. It has been very useful in my vegetable delivery business. I don’t hit the max capacity often, but the ease of use offsets that.
In real world conditions, how does the Jeeto Plus’s fuel efficiency rate?
27 December 2024 09:34
The Jeeto Plus, however, has been pleasantly surprising me in terms of fuel efficiency. I don’t quite reach the advertised numbers, but I do get about 30 km/kg with my CNG model in city driving. Definitely better than my old Tata Ace. It comes down to regular maintenance and not overloading.
In real world conditions, how does the Jeeto Plus’s fuel efficiency rate?
27 December 2024 09:34
My experience is that the fuel efficiency claims are a bit exaggerated. With my petrol Jeeto Plus, I’m getting about 18-19 km/l, which is good, but not great. But it drops even further when loaded fully, or in heavy traffic. It's still economical, but do not expect miracles.
In real world conditions, how does the Jeeto Plus’s fuel efficiency rate?
27 December 2024 09:34
The fuel efficiency of the Jeeto Plus, I think, is its strongest point. You won’t hit the exact advertised numbers, but it’s more efficient than most competitors anyway. With the mini-truck, I am saving a good chunk on fuel costs which makes a huge difference for my small business.
In real world conditions, how does the Jeeto Plus’s fuel efficiency rate?
27 December 2024 09:34
It’s very much dependent upon how you drive. With careful driving and light loads though, I can get close to the claimed figures. It's about 15 to 20 percent lower under typical city conditions with frequent stops and starts. But, for its class, it’s pretty good.
In real world conditions, how does the Jeeto Plus’s fuel efficiency rate?
27 December 2024 09:34
I've driven a few mini trucks so I'd say Jeeto Plus is better in terms of fuel efficiency than most but not revolutionary. More impressive, though, is how it maintains decent efficiency when loaded. The Jeeto Plus is able to handle heavy loads better, which is something many competitors see a big drop in mileage with.
Does the Jeeto Plus really have as low a maintenance cost as Mahindra claims?
27 December 2024 09:34
Hence, when it comes to maintaining the Jeeto Plus, I have not really faced any costs similar to that. I've had mine for 18 months or so and apart from the usual services I've had no major problems. Service intervals are longer than my old mini truck and this helps with the cost. It's not as low as Mahindra claims, but it's certainly on the low side for vehicles in this segment.
Does the Jeeto Plus really have as low a maintenance cost as Mahindra claims?
27 December 2024 09:34
The maintenance costs have been hit or miss. Routine services are cheap, but I have had one or two repairs that put me out a great deal of money. In smaller towns however, this can lead to longer downtimes due to the availability of spare parts. It’s easy to forget about until something goes wrong and then it can get expensive.
Does the Jeeto Plus really have as low a maintenance cost as Mahindra claims?
27 December 2024 09:34
I can say as a fleet operator that the Jeeto Plus has been surprisingly economical to maintain. The trick is to follow the service schedule religiously. I’ve seen that vehicles that skip services tend to have more problems. Proper maintenance, and it really does live up to the low maintenance cost claim.
Does the Jeeto Plus really have as low a maintenance cost as Mahindra claims?
27 December 2024 09:34
I believe it’s more of a marketing hype to call it low maintenance. It's not outrageously expensive to maintain, but it's not any cheaper than other mini trucks I've owned. Rather, the real advantage is in fuel efficiency, not maintenance costs. Of course, it’s still a cheap car to keep on the road.
Does the Jeeto Plus really have as low a maintenance cost as Mahindra claims?
27 December 2024 09:34
I haven't been surprised at all by the maintenance cost. The Jeeto Plus feels much more modern and reliable, than what I am used to coming from an older Tata Ace. After the first year of ownership, I haven’t had any major issues. A big plus with the longer service intervals is reduced downtime. I can’t vouch for the exact 22 paise per km claim, but at the very least, I’m feeling like I’m spending less on maintenance in total.
Is the Mahindra Jeeto really a ‘mini truck for winners’ or just overhyped marketing?
27 December 2024 09:25
I’ve been driving a Jeeto for more than a year now and to be honest it’s been a mixed bag. I’ll say the mileage is pretty sweet. Man, the breakdowns are a real pain though. Every time I load it up for a long haul, it’s like playing Russian roulette.

27 December 2024 09:25
I don't think it's overhyped by any means. It’s been a godsend for small business owners like me. It's not perfect, sure, but show me a vehicle that is. It has minimal issues, and the payload capacity is spot on to my needs. Maybe I just got lucky?
