The Gurkha is equipped with an independent suspension at the front with fully locking mechanical differentials on both axles. It offers a ground clearance of 233 mm. It can drive up a 35-degree incline and can wade through 700 mm deep water.

This is a good new for the folks using/intending to buy Gurkha. It re-emphasises the brands commitment to the product upgradation and lifecycle changes.
