The 3-door variant is priced at Rs 16.75 lakh, while the 5-door version is available at a price of Rs 18 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom pan-India).

Rivals

The Force Gurkha 5-door will take on the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door, while it can also be regarded as a bigger alternative to the Maruti Jimny. The Force Gurkha 3-door on the other hand takes on the regular Mahindra Thar. However, if you are looking for a monocoque SUV, you can consider similarly priced compact SUVs such as the Skoda Kushaq, VW Taigun, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, and Citroen C3 Aircross. It will also serve as an off-road alternative to the Tata Curvv and Citroen Basalt SUV-coupes.
