          Pros and Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

            Force Gurkha

            • Looks intimidating on the road

            • Now offers creature comforts like touchscreen, power windows and USB chargers
            • Ride comfort over bad roads
            • Commanding driving position

            MG ZS EV

            • Understated and classy styling
            • Rich interior quality. Feels very upmarket
            • Good features list - 10.1-inch touchscreen, digital instrument cluster, etc.
            • Realistically achievable range of 300-350km on a full charge

            Force Gurkha

            • No automatic on offer
            • Cabin feels dated
            • Rear seats get lap belts
            • High-speed stability

            MG ZS EV

            • Rear seat space is good but some may expect a roomier experience for the price
            • Boot space could’ve been more generous
            • EV charging infrastructure is inconsistent. Home/work charging and the portable charger will be more dependable than public charging
