2024 Force Gurkha: 5-door Vs 3-door Compared

Force Motors has revealed the Gurkha 5-door with an upgraded cabin, new features and a more powerful engine. That being said, Force has not compromised on the existing 3-door version, as that now gets all the updates that the longer wheelbase version of the Gurkha gets. In this report, we are going to take you through the differences and similarities between the two versions of the Gurkha:

Design

Viewing it from the front, both the Gurkhas have an identical design language and will be difficult to differentiate between the two. Both get round projector headlights with LED DRLs and the bumper housing the fog lamps.

View it from the sides and you will notice the major difference between the two. The 5-door version gets a longer wheelbase to accommodate the extra doors. Apart from the extra length, both the SUVs get the same boxy silhouette and a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels.

The rear of both the Gurkhas are identical as well, with a spare wheel mounted to the tailgate and a ladder to access the roof.

Interior And Features

Step inside and you will see that both, 5-door version and 3-door version of the Gurkha get the same cabin design and feature updates. Both get the new 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a digital driver’s display.

The 5-door version, with the longer wheelbase can accommodate a third row as well. The third row gets 2 captain seats making it a 2+3+2 seating layout (with bench seats in the middle row) for the 7-seater Gurkha. Since the last row seats are captain seats, they can be accessed from the boot as well.

The features list on both the Gurkhas doesn’t look very fancy, given their utilitarian nature. However both get all basic stuff including a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital driver’s display, manual AC, tilt and telescopic steering adjustment, and all powered windows.

Safety is taken care of by dual front airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Both the SUVs miss out on 6 airbags, which some car brands have started to offer as standard these days.
