The Force Gurkha is now on sale priced at Rs 13.59 lakh (ex-showroom). What do you think of the price, and would you have one over a Thar?

15:11 Look at the puny Thar! For those who are still complaining about the interiors, fancy features, power and refinement, this gurkha is light years ahead of it's predecessor. Let's give Force company their due credits for what they've improved. For kia, creta, and other fancy suv lovers this isn't in your league.

Loved the review : It's not for someone who's here for show off and loves fancy stuff too much , it's for those who wants to get the things done in Hardcore way easily . Damn! This thing is cool.Yes the power figures are mediocre and interior still needs improvement. But that's not it's strength . It's off road go anywhere attitude makes it a combination which is difficult to ignore.

Force has maintained the classic design of Gurkha .. it's interiors.. having descent instrument cluster and MID. It's purely a off-roader suv not just a fancy looking suv. It's for them who are looking a pure off roader and are enthusiasts. Don't insult a legend by calling it after market..

Siddhesh, good that you brought up the 2.2 liter OM611 Benz engine that Force motors had moved to more than a decade ago. Pity though that they have returned to the boat anchor of a OM616 derivative engine while they should have moved to the OM646 or the OM651 engines by now. These engines are 2 liter units with aluminium heads. No matter how good the bells & whistles are, Gurka is not going anywhere until they take the powerplant seriously. Even their awesome bread&butter Traveller van is abused. What weighed 1.9 tons with the the OM611 engine now weighs more than 2.2 tons with this engine ‼️ Mediocre car but extraordinary review ‼️😉👏👏👏👏

Force Motors ought to do a one-up on the Gurkha after studying the all new Ford Bronco and how many variants & options Ford has made available to the customer for it! Options I would've loved to choose from:- 1) A sunroof (why not?) 2) Soft top with 4 seats (the present engine would perform much better I think, with a lighter vehicle and payload). 3) Pick-up version with 4 seats. All variants should've hazaar added options available (standard/aftermarket) like cattle guard, roof racks, rollover bars etc. and readily available so that the Gurkha becomes the go-to vehicle which can not only do long overland expeditions but also daily runs within the city (or from the suburbs) or occasional trips to a hill station etc., all without breaking a sweat and causing any problem to it's owners. Reliability & easily repairable/fixable by anyone with some knowledge of automobile repairs, should be the underpinning factor for the Gurkha. Anyway, it's good to know that Force Motors hasn't given up on the Gurkha and for die-hard Gurkha fans, that's good news. Hope to see many improvements and iterations in the future. Don't disappoint, FM ;)
