Exterior

As per the recent teasers and spy shots, we can confirm that the 5-door model will retain its rounded headlight design with LED DRLs and LED headlamps. It will feature the familiar grille that we have seen on the existing Gurkha 3-door version. It gets a new design for the alloys wrapped in all-terrain tyres. However, the tailgate-mounted spare wheel and ladder, and the snorkel are carried over from the 3-door Gurkha.

Features 

Apart from the bigger touchscreen infotainment unit and the digital instrument cluster, the Gurkha will be getting front power windows and manual AC with multiple vents.

In terms of safety, the Gurkha will offer at least dual front airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera.

Powertrain 

The 5-door Gurkha is likely to be powered by the familiar 2.6-litre diesel engine which makes 90 PS and 250 Nm, carried over from the 3-door model, although likely in a higher tune. Transmission options will include the 5-speed manual transmission along with 4-wheel-drive (4WD) and a low-range transfer case.

Price and Rivals

We expect prices for the upcoming Gurkha 5-door to begin around the Rs 16 lakh mark (ex-showroom). The 2024 Gurkha will be a bigger alternative to the Maruti Jimny and will lock horns with the Thar 5-door version, which will make its debut on August 15, 2024.
