Force Gurkha 5 Door Vs Mahindra Thar ROXX FAQs

The Force Gurkha 5-Door starts at about ₹18 lakh ex-showroom. On-road in Delhi it can cost around ₹21.4 lakh depending on insurance, RTO, etc.

Because if you want a vehicle that laughs at bad roads, floods, mud, and steep inclines, this is the one. With standard 4x4, low-range transfer case, manually locking differentials, and a 2.6L diesel that gives good torque low in the revs, Gurkha 5-Door is built for people who don’t want excuses. It’s not about luxury, it's about capability and presence.

It packs a 2.596 cc FM 2.6 CR CD diesel engine, producing ~138 bhp at 3,200 rpm and 320 Nm torque between ~1,400-2,600 rpm. Transmission is a 5-speed manual, and it comes with 4WD as standard.

Length is ~4,390 mm, width ~1,865 mm, height ~2,095 mm; wheelbase is ~2,825 mm. Ground clearance (unladen) is ~233 mm.

Seating is for 7 people in three rows. The second row is a bench seat, third row with captain seats in some trims. Boot space isn’t officially huge, but it’s roomy enough to carry essential luggage for long road trips. With its big dimensions and high roof, tall passengers will not feel squeezed.

ARAI claimed / published numbers are around 9.5 kmpl in mixed-conditions. In city or offroad it could drop. If you mostly use highways, expect somewhat better.

Interiors aren’t luxury sedan level, but they deliver what they need: bench seats in second row, captain seats in third in certain trims; a 9-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto; power windows; roof-mounted rear AC vents; tilt & telescopic steering. Rugged, practical, usable.

Lockable front and rear differentials, standard 4x4 with low-range transfer case, snorkel, strong ground clearance (~233 mm), water wading capability, large all-terrain tyres (255/65 R18). It’s built to get dirty and come out smiling.

Force Motors offers 3 years / 1.5 lakh km warranty, along with 4 free services and roadside assistance (for at least 1 year). For an SUV this rugged, those freebies help ease ownership worries.

Thar Roxx is the 5-door, upgraded version of the Thar, launched on 15 August 2024. It’s bigger, safer, more feature-rich than the older 3-door Thar, trying to keep the off-road legend alive while being more usable daily. Bookings opened in mid-2024, variants include both RWD and 4×4.

Thar Roxx comes with two main engine choices: a 2.0-litre mStallion TGDi petrol and a 2.2-litre mHawk diesel. Both engines are offered with 6-speed manual or a 6-speed AISIN torque-converter automatic. You can get RWD or 4×4 depending on variant. Petrol variant produces about 150-175 bhp / 330-380 Nm, while the diesel is similarly powerful (~171-175 bhp / 370 Nm) at higher trims.

Thar Roxx has made history: it is the first body-on-frame SUV in India to secure a perfect 5-star Bharat-NCAP safety rating. It scored 31.09 out of 32 for adult occupant protection (AOP) and 45 out of 49 for child occupant protection (COP). Standard safety gear includes six airbags, 3-point seatbelts for all passengers, seatbelt reminders, ISOFIX child anchors, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and more. Higher variants also come with Level-2 ADAS features (AEB, lane-keep/assist etc.), 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring.

Thar Roxx uses Mahindra’s new M_GLYDE platform, which is lighter, stronger, and tuned for better NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) control. It gets independent double-wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear suspension with Watt’s linkage, Frequency Dependent Damping (FDD), Hydraulic Rebound Stopper (HRS), etc. These help in rough terrain and in smoothing out irregular city roads. The body-shell is all-metal, including full hard top, using high-strength steel especially in the pillars.

1. Length: ~ 4,428 mm, width ~ 1,870 mm, height ~ 1,923 mm, wheelbase ~ 2,850 mm. 2. Fuel tank ~ 57 litres. 3. Mileage: In city ~ 12.4 km/l for petrol in congested traffic. Diesel and highway numbers not fully published in all variants yet but expect better in highway / lighter load situations. Because of its size, weight, 4×4 hardware and big tyres, real world mileage will drop if you drive rough, carry many people, use AC, etc. Don’t expect hatchback numbers.

Buy if you are into off road adventures, you want presence, space (5 doors), safety (5-star), style plus capability. If you often drive in hilly / rural / water-wade areas, or just want to enjoy weekend trips, it’s a strong pick. Skip if most of your drive is tight city traffic, parking constraints, you prefer comfort over ruggedness, high efficiency, or want a quiet, smooth cruising car (like sedans or monocoque SUVs).

The Roxx petrol delivers about 12.40 km/l, while the diesel returns up to 15.20 km/l (ARAI). At an average Indian fuel price of ₹ 102/litre, the diesel costs around ₹ 6.71/km, while the petrol costs around ₹ 8.23/km. Real city runs drop lower: ~₹ 9/km for petrol and ~₹ 8.5/km for diesel. In short, your gym subscription is cheaper than driving it daily, but hey, Roxx is about adventure not penny-pinching.

Inside the Roxx, you’ll find ventilated front seats, a dual-tone cabin with leatherette trims, twin HD displays, a 9-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a panoramic Skyroof. Add to that wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Alexa connectivity, ambient lighting, 360° camera, and a cooled glovebox. Translation: it’s no longer just mud and boots, you can now enjoy Spotify and cappuccinos while climbing mountains.
