Force Gurkha 5 Door Vs Maruti Ertiga 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.

The base LXi variant of the Ertiga starts at about ₹9.11 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-end ZXi+ variant goes up to roughly ₹13.40 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Ertiga and the Rumion are very similar mechanically and in features, because Rumion is essentially a rebadged/modified version of the Ertiga with some styling tweaks (a different grille, bumper, badge, wheel design) and slightly different interior themes (Rumion gets grey interior shade, Ertiga offers dual-tone beige/black etc.). Rumion usually sells for about ₹50,000 to ₹61,000 more than the equivalent Ertiga variant. Feature-by-feature, they share the 1.5-litre petrol engine (103 PS / 137 Nm), gearbox options (manual or automatic), CNG version in both, safety features like ESC, four airbags on higher trims etc.

Ertiga matters because it’s one of the few 7-seater MPVs in its price band that balances space, comfort, and fuel efficiency. For families in Tier-3 cities who need to carry more people (parents, kids, relatives), sometimes luggage, school run, but don’t want a huge SUV, Ertiga offers a no-nonsense solution. The relatively low maintenance cost, wide Maruti service network, and decent mileage (especially with CNG) make it very practical. Also, in recent months Ertiga sales have shot up (in August 2025 it even took the #1 spot among all cars with ~18,445 units sold) which shows how much people trust it.

Ertiga petrol manual returns around 19 kmpl in ARAI claims, similar for petrol automatic. The petrol+CNG version gives ~ 26.2 km/kg under CNG mode.

It uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine (approx 103 PS / 137 Nm) in petrol mode, and in CNG mode output drops (~88 PS / 121.5 Nm). Buyers can choose between a manual gearbox or an automatic (torque converter) in petrol variants; CNG is manual only.

Ertiga is a true MPV with 7 seats. Boot space with all 3 rows up is modest (~209 litres), but when 3rd row folded it opens up (~550 litres), and with 2nd + 3rd folded even more (~803 litres). Length is around 4,395 mm or more depending on version. The car has enough ground clearance, practical cabin height, sliding doors, decent space in 2nd row, and third row usable for kids or shorter journeys.

A buyer who needs 7 seats regularly or occasionally (kids, family, carpool), drives in small or mid-sized towns, cares about cost of running (petrol/CNG), wants a reliable MPV with good resale, and values comfort over rugged SUV looks. If you don’t need 7 seats often, smaller MPVs or SUVs might make more sense.
