- Very sensible and rich feature package including ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, dual displays and ADAS level 2.
- Refined and powerful engine options. The SUV will not feel underpowered - no matter the situation.

Force Gurkha

- High-speed stability
Mahindra Thar ROXX
- Ride comfort is still a problem. It tosses you side to side on bad roads.
