Force Gurkha Quick Reviews:

Do you feel that Mahindra Thar is the best off roader in all terms? No, you probably should explore more then. Here’s why you should have a look at the Force Gurkha EOV.

The Force Gurkha EOV (Extreme Off-road Vehicle) 2017 edition has been launched in India, with prices starting at Rs 8.38 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The new Gurkha, which comes in 3-door Xplorer and 5-door Xpedition variants, receives a much-needed update that includes BSIV compliance and a slew of other modifications. As a result, the off roader will be able to be offered in metro areas as well, potentially increasing its sales.

The Force Gurkha is the automaker’s shining star in the passenger vehicle lineup, and it’s known for its strong off-roading abilities. Force has made alterations to the SUV for the 2017 version, making it look like a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon imitation. The offroader is available with a soft-top or hardtop and tough features like a steel bumper with fog lamps and a factory-installed snorkel intake for greater water wading capabilities. The 2.6-litre inter-cooled, direct injection, turbocharged diesel engine originating from Mercedes OM 616 continues to provide power under the hood, which is now BSIV certified. At 3200 rpm, the oil burner is adjusted to produce 84 horsepower and 23 bhp respectively.

Customer Reviews:

• It is a strong competitor to Mahindra Thar. Though it is a capable SUV, the suspensions are excellent, and the features are also excellent; it is a fantastic product overall.
• Make some promotional material, such as a teaser or video, prior to the launch to raise product awareness.
• In every way, the new Force Gurkha outperforms the Mahindra Thar. However, this automobile manufacturer has never engaged in aggressive marketing. This is a capable offroader that is also suitable for everyday use. The seats are substantially more comfy than those on Thar. If they release this in a 5-door variant, it will be more practical than Thar. Gurkha is slightly longer than Thar, which is advantageous in every way. So, before you leap to any judgments, think about Gurkha. Force can easily outsell Thar in sales if they aggressively market the New Gurkha.
