Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Force Gurkha
- Looks intimidating on the road
- Off-road capability
- Now offers creature comforts like touchscreen, power windows and USB chargers
- Ride comfort over bad roads
- Commanding driving position
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real-world range of 400-500km and 175kW DC fast charging compatibility feels reassuring on long road trips
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions and very useful in low visibility situations
- Performance: Smooth for regular usage and punchy on highways
- Feature-rich: Triple 12.3-inch displays, 16-speaker Harman/Kardon audio, auto park, and powered and ventilated front seats

Force Gurkha
- No automatic on offer
- Cabin feels dated
- Rear seats get lap belts
- High-speed stability
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Rear seat experience could be better: Sloping roofline limits headroom and under thigh support feels less for tall people
