Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car is best to buy for offroading - Force Gurkha vs Mahindra Thar?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. The new Gurkha comes with the older 2.6-litre turbo-diesel motor and not the newer 2.2-litre diesel which the old car got in its last stages. However, the 2.6-litre motor has been upgraded to meet BS6 norms. Force also claims to have heavily reworked the motor to improve refinement and power. Although they have managed to bump up the power on this engine, it still makes a not-so-thrilling 91PS and 250Nm. This lack of versatility is evident in the way the new Gurkha tackles our roads too. At low speeds, the ride quality will surprise you with its plushness. The soft suspension has the ability to gulp the worst road imaginable and while doing so the suspension remains silent. Even for such a tall and heavy vehicle, side to side motion is well controlled. But tackle not so perfect roads at speeds above 50kmph and the Gurkha’s dynamic envelope falls apart. On the other hand, This mStallion petrol paired with the 6-speed auto box was the pick of the engine combinations we’ve experienced in the Thar. It’s smooth and refined in the city and packs a heck of a punch when you push the go pedal. There’s plenty of torque from the petrol motor too so though we didn't test it, it’s sure to perform just as amicably in the off-road environment as well. The Thar's appeal and promise to take you on great adventures is a big draw but living with it everyday will still ask you to make many compromises. As a second car or for those who just need the utility of the 4x4 the Thar’s appeal is undeniable. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more -2021 Force Gurkha first drive review: A good alternative to the Thar?.-Mahindra Thar Road Test Review: Has The Monster Been Tamed?.
  • Yes driving sonet diesel IMT since one year. Driven 26k so far without any problems.
  • For me, always Gurkha
Q. Is it better than the new Bolero Neo?
  • Selecting the right car would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, cabin space, engine options, brand preference, etc. If you are looking for an SUV with extreme off-roading capabilities then Force Motors Gurkha would be a great pick. Force Motors Gurkha is currently available in a Diesel engine. The 2596 cc Diesel engine generates a power of 89.84bhp@3200rpm and torque of 250Nm@1400-2400rpm. On the other hand, Neo's promise is simple on purpose, offering go-anywhere ruggedness, with a compact sub-4m footprint that promises to be economical to own and maintain. Mahindra Bolero Neo is currently available in a Diesel engine. The 1493 cc Diesel engine generates a power of 100bhp@3750rpm and torque of 260nm@1750-2250rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

    Citroen eC3: Embracing Electric in Style 

    The Citroen eC3 is my invasion into the electric vehicle domain and it has been an interesting ride. The eC3 stands out with it is special styling and comfortable interiors a feature Citroen cars proudly boast. However the acceleration feels a segment lazy compared to petrol driven counterparts possibly a trade off for the increased range. Another point to consider for Indian customers is the boot space which is on the smaller side challenging when planning longer trips with family. The Citroen eC3 presents itself as a stylish eco friendly.

    introducing thrill all your way 

    The Citroen eC3 is the mileage king in its segment i experienced that it provides a range of 320 km . The eC3 boasts a stylish and modern design with unique split headlamps and comes in a variety of colours (sharp exterior). It has comfortable seats with good leg space and headroom for most passengers (spacious cabin). Although it has received a 0-star NCAP rating, the eC3 comes equipped with basic safety features like dual airbags which is the major drawback of this car .

    Electric mobility redefined, eco-friendly  

    The Citroen eC3, my dream auto, has revolutionized electric transportation with its sustainable city floating characteristics. In extension to its sustainability, I actually love my car for itsmore advanced features and futuristic looks. The eC3's cerebral room and operative electric powertrain were both developed with the coincidental city commuter in mind. With every trip, my love for my car only deepens since it produces no when i go tours and provides a quiet, comfortable ride. The Citroen eC3 is a true unreality of city safety in the future.

    Potential buyers 

    I recently had the opportunity to drive the citroen ec3, And i found it to be a suitable car for city use.While it is recommended primarily for urban areas, It can also handle long drives in emergency situations.The car features an app that helps you locate charging stations, Which is a convenient feature.One of the positive aspects of the citroen ec3 is its larger battery pack, Which claims to have a range of around 320 km.However, In my experience, The actual range was closer to 250 km.Despite the slightly lower range, The car performed well and met my expectations for city driving.One drawback i noticed was the ground clearance of the citroen ec3.It could be a potential issue when encountering uneven or rough terrain.This is something to keep in mind if you frequently drive on less-than-ideal roads.Overall, My personal experience with the citroen ec3 was positive.It is well-suited for city use, And the larger battery pack provides a decent range for daily commuting.However, Potential buyers should consider the ground clearance limitation mentioned above.Please note that this review is based on my own experience and individual preferences, And others may have different opinions about the citroen ec3.
