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
Skoda Kylaq
- Fun! 1-litre TSI engine is fun to push hard and puts a smile on your face.
- Practical. Ample space for four 6-footers. Cabin storage is very well thought out too.
- 446-litre boot space is more than sufficient for 4 cabin-sized trolley bags.
- Enough features: sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats, 10.1-inch touchscreen.

Force Gurkha
- No automatic on offer
- Cabin feels dated
- Rear seats get lap belts
- High-speed stability
Skoda Kylaq
- No diesel or CNG options available.
- 1-litre turbo petrol engine can be very thirsty in heavy city traffic. Expect 10kmpl at best.
- Minor annoyances: poor camera quality, noisy seat ventilation blowers spoil the experience.
