Diesel average please sir in two wheel drive
Last checked 2026-08-28 · confidence medium
Ex-showroom price is around NPR 86 lakh for its single variant.
That figure is what owners quoted, not our price. See the verified price for each variant.

If you need serious off-road ability, high ground clearance and a rugged look, it does the job well, but the interiors feel dated, refinement is lacking and running and maintenance costs can be high.

Gurkha has better ground clearance, a tougher build, manual diff locks and stronger off-road presence, while the Thar is more refined, easier to live with on roads and cheaper to run.

No, the Gurkha runs on Force's own 2.6-litre diesel engine tuned for torque, not a Mercedes engine.

Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.
“This SUV is Damn Masculine by looks.. I want this 💪”
“Force Gurkha is My favourite off-road car ❤”
“We need more Features for That Price. Try to Learn from Mahindra”
“Still 37 year old Mercedes OEM diesel Engline😢”
“The only problem is bootspace and knee space and some modern features could be added. Killer view 👌”
The Gurkhas off-road prowess is unmatched, but the interiors feel outdated compared to competitors.

Where this evidence came from
Real published text, but nobody said it in the first person — so it is never shown as a quote.
This bit doesn't carry over
Owners abroad rate this car's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
