Other features in the cabin include a manual AC which is quite powerful, power windows with one-touch down for both and a lane change indicator. Again, while this unit is acceptable for an off-road-focused Gurkha, passenger cars of all shapes and sizes have moved on to offer more sophisticated systems. Two in the front along with a 12V socket, and two at the back. Also, this time around, you even have four USB ports in the cabin. It is paired to a 4-speaker sound system which sounds dull. It is a responsive system and also features a lively Gurkha screensaver.

The centre console features an aftermarket 7-inch Kenwood touchscreen infotainment unit which gets all your usual connectivity options like Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and even screen mirroring. Very basic, but still better than the old Gurkha’s analogue unit which had the tachometer in the middle of the dashboard! The instrument cluster is a more conventional one with speedo, tacho and a small digital MID for trip and fuel info. A smaller and better feeling steering would have surely helped with ergonomics here.

And despite it now getting tilt and telescopic adjustment, taller drivers will still feel it to be a bit low and very close to the thighs. The finish is average and it has no controls for audio/calls either. Once seated though, the steering wheel feels a bit too large and old school. The new seats with fabric upholstery are supportive and comfortable and even wear an embroidered Gurkha badge. You still have to climb into the cabin and to help you, there is a side step and a grab handle on the A-pillar. However, for the Gurkha, they are a step in the right direction. By modern passenger car standards, they do feel dated and rather utilitarian. While the exteriors are reminiscent of the past Gurkhas, the interiors are all new. Everything else you see on the car is stock. On the road, the presence of the Gurkha is unmistakable as it stands tall and loud, especially in the new funky colours like red and orange. However, the roof rack, ladder and wheel along with the tyres are accessories that customers can opt for. At the back, the tough-looking bumper, ladder and the spare tyre help it look brute. The height and the wheelbase remain the same at 2075mm and 2400mm respectively. In terms of dimensions, the new 4116mm length is now longer by 124mm but the 1812mm width is now shorter by 8mm. The 4x4x4 badge has been retained and remains a marketing spiel hinting towards the terrains the Gurkha can conquer - desert, water, forest and mountains. The large ORVMs feature a Khukri emblem, the fighting knife of the mighty Gurkha warriors, and the rest of the side is dominated by a large single glass window for the rear passengers.

From the side, you still get the snorkel, the only passenger car in India to get it as a factory fitment, that helps the Gurkha achieve a water wading depth of 700mm. The grille proudly features the Gurkha name, instead of the round Force Motors logo. The front gets full-LED headlamps along with jewel-like LED DRLs.

That said, the elements are a lot more polished and modern. It continues to feature metallic bash plates as well. The placement of the turn indicators, round headlamps and the tall body are the elements that keep the 2021 Gurkha true to its design heritage. What remains true even today is the boxy shape of the Gurkha which even Force admits (unlike some) is inspired by the Mercedes G-Wagen. While it may not be evident in the first look, the 2021 Gurkha shares no body or platform part with the older SUV. However, if you are looking for a monocoque SUV, you can consider similarly priced compact SUVs like the Skoda Kushaq, VW Taigun, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks, Maruti Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. It also comes with a low-range transfer case and manual (front and rear) locking differentials as standard.įorce Gurkha Features: The Gurkha is equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen system paired with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, manual AC, a four-speaker sound system, and front power windows.įorce Gurkha Safety: Safety features in the Gurkha include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors.įorce Gurkha Rivals: The Gurkha’s primary rival is the Mahindra Thar.
