Our verdict

Verdict by the Aglist editorial desk

On our score the Mahindra JIVO 225 DI 4WD (6.8/10) edges out the Captain 200 DI (5.1/10). The Captain 200 DI is ₹1,69,000 cheaper to buy, which matters if the budget is tight.

Captain 200 DI: One to three acres of grape, pomegranate or citrus where the budget is tight and rows are narrow.

Mahindra JIVO 225 DI 4WD: Sloping or damp orchard and vineyard rows, coconut and areca gardens, and hill terraces where a 2WD mini loses grip.
