Force Gurkha: more power, fresh looks, more features
Now available in three- and five-door body styles, both iterations of the Gurkha get the same 2.6-litre Mercedes-sourced diesel engine. This engine has been upgraded to churn out a decent 140hp, which is a big jump from the 91hp output seen in the outgoing Gurkha. The only gearbox on offer is a 5-speed manual; there is no automatic on offer even now. Four-wheel drive is standard, which can now be controlled via a switch on the centre console.
As far as features go, the Gurkha gets a 9-inch infotainment screen, a full digital instrument cluster and some other creature comforts. However, it does lack quite a few features when compared to other SUVs in its category, like the Thar.
