5. Force Gurkha

the new Force Gurkha is any better than before? and can it compete with the recently updated Thar? Well, answers to these questions lie in the specifications of the new Force Gurkha.

First talking about the more power 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine. This motor pushes about 140ps of power and 321Nm of peak torque and to set the power down, the SUV may come with a 5-speed transmission like before.

Not to forget, this was available only with a 4X4 drivetrain. The other engine may be the 2.6-litre diesel motor. Well, earlier this motor used to generate 85hp of max power and 230Nm of maximum torque. Again, this motor too may come with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Moving on, this is the engine to choose if the 4X2 drivetrain you are after. Nevertheless, there also exist a 4X4 drivetrain option with this engine.
