Mahindra Thar vs Force Gurkha
The Force Gurkha has been all the way around uber cool. The vehicle has the capacity to take on any kind of terrain. This is all thanks to its differential locks and 4WD powertrain. Its Mercedes sourced engine is also awesome in crunching numbers into reality.
The Gurkha has been Force Motor’s ever-shining star. The flagship model has taken the Indian auto market by storm. The Gurkha is simply good when it comes to performance and this factor has made it one of India’s favorite SUVs. As much as we would love to keep on going with the appreciation, there is another vehicle in the lotto that contends with it.
Round 2
Round two begins on a similar note but the drivers switch their cars to see if it would make any difference in the outcome
Wanna know which SUV it is? Well, it’s the arch-nemesis of Force Gurkha, the Mahindra Thar. The Thar has always shined bright when it comes to off-road performance.
