Force Gurkha 5 Door review: what owners and experts say

Engine refinement

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“Now the engine feels a lot readier with its power delivery, it doesn't have that commercial vehicle vibe that the older Gurkha engine had... what the Gurkha does well is easygoing cruising.”

Seat comfort

Generally positivebased on 7 reviews

“The seats have almost too much thigh support — they do brush with the underside of your legs — but they are very, very comfortable, I cannot fault them for that.”

Off-road capability

Generally positivebased on 11 reviews

“Quite frankly this might look intimidating in any other car, but it seems, at least from where I'm sitting up here, like a walk in the park for the Force Gurkha... mind you we're not even using the diff locks today.”

Driving position

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“Visibility dekhoge toh panoramic hai yaar, poora achha khasa visibility hai, har jagah se har cheez aapko visible hoti hai.”

Electrical reliability

Strongly negativebased on 7 reviews

“Sabse pehla jo service mein issue aaya tha woh tha sensors ka. Sensor mein kya issue aata tha? Jo mera back gear hai, main jab bhi usko engage karta tha toh light nahi on hoti thi, back camera nahi chalta tha.”

Handling

Generally negativebased on 8 reviews

“This is a car with a seriously high center of gravity, higher than even most off-roaders, and that can really, really be felt around a corner, even a very slow one — it rolls and it pitches and it tosses you from side to side.”

Fit & finish

Generally negativebased on 14 reviews

“Jitne plastic part hain jin pe paint ho rakha hai, ye saare aise jhad rahe hain, dheere-dheere jhad rahe hain, matlab inke upar se nikal raha hai, papdi si banke yahan se nikle jaa raha hai. Sirf ek nahi hai, kai jagah se hai.”

Third row usability

Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews

“കേറാൻ ഇറങ്ങാനുള്ള ഒരു ബുദ്ധിമുട്ട് കാരണം അത് ആഡ് ഓൺ ചെയ്തിരിക്കാം... ജസ്റ്റ് കേറി ഇരിക്കാനുള്ള ഒരു ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുണ്ട്, കുനിഞ്ഞു കയറാനുള്ള ഒരു ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുണ്ട്”

Rear seat space

Mixed reviewsbased on 6 reviews

“What Force could have done is added a bit more adjustability into this bench — it doesn't recline nor does it move back, all you get is this fold-down center armrest.”
