The ruggedness and the true feeling of an SUV.....where things are not too comfortable and soft...... Where people Learn the hard way....i absolutely love it.....!!
@@Shikhara_India you are right and it is safer too as center of gravity remains lower and makes the vehicle stable on bad road. However, the length of the vehicle will become longer like Yukon or Escalada. Then it will be difficult to drive on narrow and twisty roads on hills.
The Mercedes sourced engine of Gurkha is a gem. Pure Work horse. Particularly in extremely cold weather it performs way better than its diesel competitors.
I’m extremely happy to see that they have improved things by listing to critics . Like engine “power upgrade”. ”suspension arms” redesigned for ground clearance digital front console and an info system with google maps Toyota still needs this upgrade. The issues still linger on non adjustable middle row back angle. Why can’t they just swap the middle row and the back row exactly like the Innova crysta ? It’s an extremely convenient setting. If I buy this 5door I’ll surly get it done as an after market thing… captain in the middle and 50:50 flat bed seat as the last row with detachable and foldable option . ❤❤
If 2 seats in middle row , then 3rd row can accommodate only two seats because of wheels, it will become 6 seater , People would go for thar 5seater. But your configuration is very comfortable and spacious.
@@AjayKumar-ko9sp sir I’m recommending 3 seater flat bed with split seat of fifty fifty as third row that will be good for 3 ppl my setting will be 2 front 2 middle and 3 at the back with a bit of dickky to keep stuff and stuff accessible from the last door .
Are the rear view mirrors electric or not? Why do you car journalists miss small things like that? None of the so called car review channels have covered that. Take your work seriously.
Here is a Indian Manufacturer doing their level best offering what Gurkha Client would want actually hearing feedback at great price point considering its off-road toolkit. They should be rewarded in sales Atleast by the purists, It takes pride in what it is
This new Gurkha no doubt has high power and torque but it needs AdBlue like Thar to keep pollution under control. Older Gurkhas with same engine deliberately kept the power & torque low to meet emission standards without using AdBlue.
How many affordable 4x4 is available in India? And M&M products are reachable via better dealer network and backed by better service network than Force products, hence more common.
If only this had a good automatic transmission I would've bought it yesterday. I LOVE the Jimny but I'm just too tall for it (6'8") so this is perfect for me it looks even better IMHO but no auto! It's not a sports car that I wanna shift myself man an auto is a must.
This car does not have good legroom for tall passengers and Ergonomics for a tall driver is also not great. But sure you will get enough headroom and visibility and driving position is pretty good
What they have spent on the project 5 door - Ideally should have worked on 3 door with - Enhanced power - 18 inch alloys - better Interiors - Better AC - leather Seats I’m sure the costing won’t be more than the 5 door
force motors make a 2 wheel drive and 4wheel drive option,,,,,, and this engine also used in cruiser in bs 3 segment most reliable and low maintenance engine,,,, the engine like a tiger,,,,,,,
Capable platform but needs a lot of work to be done in the interior trims & exterior design. All they need is a solid design team and a kickass R&D. Force should have involved Faurecia to do the interiors. Commercial Vehicle design & production process cannot be implemented for passenger cars. I am thinking to buy one and try improving the design with my team.
I think after yesterday's price announcement other brand car looks more attractive. You get much refined and feature rich car at the same price ! 18L for this quite high
Isn’t this a force trax with some 4wd. That side profile is identical. And honestly the missing auto makes it more niche. Am sure it’s capable, but last I drove the gearbox was so much effort that unless you need 4wd regularly it’s just too much work
Looks like some jassi Bhaiya from Karol bagh was given opportunity to design interior and grill, What kinda steering is that , and seats are like Wagon R, Even A swift or baleno gas better steering and seats, the info display has been sourced from Karol bagh I bet. What a machine they could gave built but.......
Why do you need a 5 door if getting into the 3 door is sorted from the rear and then u lose a lot of boot space too. The engine update on the 3 door is welcome and will be more practical. This coming from a crde owner. My gripe with the Gurkha was the lazy move on from first gear. If that is sorted then this is actually a better car in terms of practicality.

Force should tie up with TATA ... This will creat a new more powerful engine for Gurkha upto 170 bhp and 350 nm of Torque ( Safari engine )... This will enable Force to launch Gurkha in African Continent by Tatas network .... Than the Thar is F.cked....
Really.?? A decent headroom in the third row.?? That's some hefty amount of headroom for God's sake 😒 That's plennnnnnty of headroom in the third row. It's not decent 😒
There's absolutely ZERO fun in driving an automatic...even the car companies and many auto journos promote automatics...May god save the purists and keep the manuals alive.

Lame

Luggage space is absent inside but the roof rack looks rugged and capable.
There should not be a problem for all the luggage of 6 adults and 1 kid.

Whatever people say but there is no doubt that Gurkha has evolved a lot n looks n works great... Praise to force moters
Are the rear view mirrors electric or not? Why do you car journalists miss small things like that? None of the so called car review channels have covered that. Take your work seriously.
Why don't you come and work, rather than blabbering shit. It's an even sort of thing with limited time
Why don't you do a review yourself & show them how it's done.
Electric, not folding
Here is a Indian Manufacturer doing their level best offering what Gurkha Client would want actually hearing feedback at great price point considering its off-road toolkit. They should be rewarded in sales Atleast by the purists, It takes pride in what it is
Gurkha is not for beginners 😅... Last 2 seats removable using tools is not a concern for people who would go for this vehicle
I respect the force 's decision to keep it rough and third row seat is just fine 🙌
This new Gurkha no doubt has high power and torque but it needs AdBlue like Thar to keep pollution under control. Older Gurkhas with same engine deliberately kept the power & torque low to meet emission standards without using AdBlue.
No one drives OffRoad tracks with seven people onboard, i guess updated 3 door gurkha if recieves 3 lakh price cut will sell in huge numbers
True, but roads look like off-road when you are in Himalayas. There 4x4 Gurkha will be better than RWD Bolero.
Are you sure about that? The roads in Himalayas say otherwise
How many affordable 4x4 is available in India? And M&M products are reachable via better dealer network and backed by better service network than Force products, hence more common.
Just remove the back seats and make the middle seats to go back behind somehow by changing the seat frame work simple
Indian vehicles owners love vibration like wise in Bolero, Scorpio, fortuner, thar, gurkha 😅
Force designer's mistake re place the rear seats to mid and mid to third row.
If only this had a good automatic transmission I would've bought it yesterday. I LOVE the Jimny but I'm just too tall for it (6'8") so this is perfect for me it looks even better IMHO but no auto! It's not a sports car that I wanna shift myself man an auto is a must.
Thar is the answer for you
Real men drive with 3 pedals😂
Six feet eight inches is your height ? No one makes vehicle for that tall person, the gurkha has adequate headroom for you
This car does not have good legroom for tall passengers and Ergonomics for a tall driver is also not great. But sure you will get enough headroom and visibility and driving position is pretty good
Car is looking good now with 5 doors
Better to remove bench seat of the middle row and replace with collapsibe captain seat both in middle and back seat.
GURKHA is actually a HULK of OFF ROADERS. The seating can be easily arranged. Center Seat can be install in the rear and rear seats in the center.
Need a 5 door, 5 seat variant from factory. Why pay for the extra seats if they are not required?
What they have spent on the project 5 door - Ideally should have worked on 3 door with
- Enhanced power
- 18 inch alloys
- better Interiors
- Better AC
- leather Seats
I’m sure the costing won’t be more than the 5 door
Enjoy the diesel feel and 4×4 expierence! Before we loose it
I just want these vehicles to continue to stay as it is!
Offroad on budget you got me bro 😂😂 jeep wrangler and land cruiser set the bench so high we think offroading is only for rich and foreigners..
@ 3:42 which car is in the background?
Same 2 door version
❤ the ground clearance.

What is the future of diesel engine ?
Hahaha... Good question Bro. Even Merc came with an electric G.
The steering style needs to change. Looks too outdated. This is one thing that will actually help with the sales.
Now if they just improve the quality of interiors. It will be a GEM
The Gurkha reminds you of what the Tata Sumo Could have been.
This 3rd row seat is good and practical.but need to be foldable.need petrol automatic with greater mileage.
It should be 5 seats instead of 7 and more space in second row seats
Imagine it with 140 BHP, front gurkha name replaced with benz logo 😍
Now let's see what the 5 door Thar will be like. Interesting times ahead.
Price bohat jada hai 12-13 lac chahie tha
Pricing Geniune h. Atleast Jimny ki tarah loot nhi rhe logo ko

Come on guys, be brave, tell this is junk, at least 10 years behind reality. Look at the comparative Chinese cars.
It is not a junk foolish brat, it is a pure classic and a real 4x4 suv which is about 2.5 ton unlike those sghtty cheap quality chynese cars.
At this price point the interior seems very cheap and low quality😐😤 hire better designer 🤢🤢
Be a man not a 🌈
😂😂😂
Plus increase door space for bottles
At this price point they are offering manual front n rear diff locks with shift fly by 4wl
