5-door Force Gurkha has been fully leaked in a walk-around video. It is set to arrive before the 5-door Mahindra Thar and Maruti Jimny
The 5-door version of the Force Gurkha has been leaked fully in this walk-around video as it is set to arrive before the 5-door Mahindra Thar and Maruti Jimny. Gurkha is the only direct rival to the Thar that has been doing well in the market. Thar ignited the love and passion of people for off-roading. It is the best off-roader in its class. Only the Gurkha has been able to offer such capabilities at a pretty low price point. However, its barebones cabin and the lack of features are stopping it from outselling the Thar. Well, that might be about to change with the upcoming 5-door version of the Gurkha.

The video has been uploaded by AutoTech Buddy on YouTube. It captures the 5-door Gurkha in full production guise. The YouTuber takes the viewers through the exterior of the SUV.

It retains the G-Wagon-like styling with LED DRLs integrated into the round headlamp cluster, a square bonnet, turn indicators mounted on it, a snorkel, a sturdy bumper with fog lamps and a single horizontal slated black grille with GURKHA written on it.

Specs
While there is no official word on the specs, we reckon it will come with the same engine as the regular Gurkha. That comes with a sole 2.6-litre diesel mill that outputs 91 hp and 250 Nm of peak power and torque. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. There is also the 4×4 drivetrain making it off-road capable. What are your thoughts on the 5-door Gurkha?
