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
Tata Punch
- A proper mini-SUV look with the size of a hatchback. Has great road presence despite its compact size.
- The quality of plastics used in the cabin feels premium for the price.
- Surprisingly spacious for its size. There’s ample kneeroom and headroom, even for a six-foot tall person.
- Good feature list: sunroof, smooth 10.25-inch touchscreen, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
- Comfortable ride quality over a variety of surfaces. 187mm of ground clearance is confidence inspiring.

Force Gurkha
- No automatic on offer
- Cabin feels dated
- Rear seats get lap belts
- High-speed stability
Tata Punch
- Six airbags are not available, even in the top model.
- The engine feels underpowered on highways, especially with full passenger load.
