Now for the internal photos:
Behold the massive GC:
The tyres were 7.5 x 16 inch LT tyres.
Now to the big question. If I was still in the market, would I buy this?
Hmm, No. Not as my primary transport. Don’t get me wrong, Gurkha is a fantastic off-roader, but only an off-roader. It has no creature comforts of any type. The seats are very comfortable, the bad-road ride quality is the best I have seen so far, the GC is so massive, no off-road challenge can scare you. But the vehicle itself is incredibly crude, it is strict no-no for families. Force Motors has no business charging so high (7.2L ex-showroom) and delivering so little.
The photos I shot today didn’t come that well because of the lighting conditions. I had to shoot under sweltering sun, very harsh light for photography. The sky is burnt out in most shots since I was trying to expose a black vehicle. This last shot was even more difficult since I had a black and a white vehicle in the same frame. So I didn’t try too hard to get it right. Besides, none of us including P had had our lunch and it was already 3PM. We said farewell at this point and P drove away.
That ends the saga of Gurkha test drive on horrible roads and off-road.
