Hey buddy, what is your opinion on your gurkha ? I had booked my 5 door but very scared

@@SawaijamShreyan darr ke aage jeet hai

thank you for leaving this comment

​@@SawaijamShreyanOverweight and underoowered for class. No automatic option with torque converter. Abysmal fuel efficiency of 7-9 kmpl Diesel only means who knows depending on gadkari jees whims may be banned by 2028 then what? Poor service as in non existent- multiple failures not including all cars delivered had leaks in power steering (just imagine). Poor build quality as in 3 near fatal accidents due to steering failure, all drivers claimed sudden jam and inability to turn steering, all three cars fell down from mountain side. Force says 3 yr warranty but if you read the manual carefully the warranty only applies to most things at most for 6 months. Also they will say go to ac company for ac comoressor problems etc. 3 yr warranty applies to crap which doesnt need it like engime block. 6 months is less than even cheap chinese junk. Middle seat is unusable, so need to spend 50,000 plus to change middle seat. Multiple frequent wheel bearing failures with multiple customers every 7-10,000 kms why? Who knows. Thats what company says. Keep in mind even skodas diidnt have this issue, nor any tata or mahindra. If any water exposure is done the alternator and self start motor breaks, comoany refuses to repair or replace, they say alternator/self motor/and ac compressor isnt water proof and if you go in water like more than 1 feet then you are misusing the car, this is what was forwarded in writing from force to their service centre. Then whats the use of snorkel etc😂😂 Previously they used to boast about mercedes pedigree etc hemce high cost of 7-8 lakhs in 2013. Now they dont have anything from Mercedes then how come price is hitting 21+ lakhs in 2024!!!!!! They dont give usable middle seat, some truck ac blower used as fan, some third class 4000 rupees android head unit. Im not askimg for premium I'm asking fair price for fair job. But like always customer ke toh naam mein likha hai mer. Chassis is not painted from inside, let alone rust protection, very soon people will be claiming of sudden rust failure in chassis and body. Remember how force other products are always lined up on roadside for full body painting denting. Force comoany is like a sarkari thekedar, they can manufacture for others but not for themselves just like any lala company in india. Ps hilux is getting 12-15 lakhs doscount from most dealers. Pps remember the 90s and the noughties when the abysmal bullet quality was described as having character and replacing sprockets every 5000kms and getting broken chassis welded every 20,000 kms was called as having character. Yep the force Gurkha has character and lots of it. Don't trust these paid shills from auto media, or you will land up with acche din/vikas model/viksit Bharat/swachh Bharat thepla to eat and it'll be a bitter bitter thepla to eat

@@NomadGurkha first I searched for safari storm 6 speed 4wd but didn't found one single peice all over India, than I settled for fortuner 4wd but got to know that old shape is under 20 lakh new shape will cost 24-.... lakhs out of my budget than found a old shape 2012 4wd fortuner but than I got to know old shape was all time 4wd also its very underpowered in the mean time 5 door gurkha was launched and I liked it so booked it now delivery in next month.

It can be easily done. But, yes company should have done it.

Yeah FM offers this option. But not sliding though

i agree, it is not orefect, but it has character and presence. I love the build, the looks, plastic is long lasting. Overall loved driving it.

Considering these awesome 4x4 credentials, it makes me wonder why this test drive used such a softroader track? Clearly this vehicle can do much more to really showcase it's 4x4 abilities?

@@mariusgrobler4235 maybe its the abilities of the Auto Journalists that was in doubt. The Gurkha can handle much much more.

Thanks. Cannot compare it with the Creta. This is purpose built, and it delivers. Much better/powerful than before.

Congrats

congratulations

Well done.

thanks for the feedback

thanks for the feedback

thanks for your feedback Sir

agreed

interiors are cheap quality. and automatic is a must

thanks!

True

Thanks

thanks man!!

Even I had to thank you for your review

thanks man

thanks

Not that we know of

Same type of vehicle is different price why would you compare ? Have more money hilux have less isuzu

Why dare and not just ask

@@SawaijamShreyan they are ready to do endeavour vs fortuner (endeavour not launched), thar vs gurkha, thar vs jimmy, gurkha vs jimny (same type of vehicle, same 4*4 low range). Point is just go to any global forum, australia, phillipines, malaysia,thailand, south africa, turkey etc, you will get isuzu dmax vcross vs hilux (its just like scorpio vs safari old gen), globally both these vehicles compete but not in India, the offroad test which most of overdrive, autocar etc do, is just rubbish, watching australian reviews, turkish reviews, you realise the difference.

@@ethanhunt2263 its been so many years, nobody has been able to do it.

@@jattboy2043 ya but you live in India buddy, here both are of different price range. So for us this compariosn is useless.brother what you are talking can be done by faisal khan

YESSSS tell me about it. Was hugely disappointed as this was immediately after the 2024 Wrangler drive and that was epicc

Go to kannur ,or ghats you will understand ....this cars with manual gear box rules ...from a PROUD GURKHA owner

@@saikatadhikari4469 I have been to Kannur and drive in ghats...How much percentage of a persons' drive will be in ghats? not more than 10% ....for remaining 90% you will still drive in highways and urban roads where auto makes lot of sense...if thar and jimny have autos, why not gurkha? Today proper offroaders 4*4 does come with autos ...its surely a drawback for buyers considering gurkha of not having an auto gearbox

Agreed, space is limited and screens are not the best. But I believe people here know just how purpose built this vehicle is, and are already aware of the shortcomings. As opposed to what it was, it is a huge step up, and that is why more positives than negatives.

Remove the 3rd row captain seats on the 5 door and the boot space is massive.

Yes mentioned that

Because grown adults prefer manuals in a rough and tough offroader like this. If you're a pavement princess you can always go for thar or scorpio N.

Removing the rear sway bar gives it over a foot of extra articulation. But the trade off is stability for a tall vehicle like the Gurkha.Articulation more than what is available is required less than 1% of the time but stability on highways is needed a 100%. Where it lacks in articulation it makes up for with the rear locking differential.

thank you for your insight

In more ways than you could imagine

seriously 😂😂😂😂looks like a paid review

High thN any other vehicles morethan thar ,235mm

Better practicality than 3-door Gurkha/Thar.

​@@carcrazyguy. And impractical

Keeps your back sweat free

233 mm isn't enough??

Brother high GC 233 mm itself is reason people are staying from gurkha and you are saying low GC😅

Agree with you Sir

What about non hindi speaking states in india

Very nicely put brother. Best for offroadimg is to buy some second hand car for sub 10 lakhs and purpose modify. For family use buy mg zs ev for 21 lakhs and use for free with rooftop solar. Remember with mileage of 8-9kmpl you will spend 1,00,000 plus to run 10,000kms. While even without solar an mg zs ev will cost you only like 10,000 rupees for 10,000 kms. Also some safety rating is their unlike the completely unsafe Gurkha with its frequent steering failures, wheel bearing failures etc.

​@@nhilistickomrad4259or get an isuzu dmax vcross or hilux,problem solve
