"The 2024 Gurkha shows significant improvement in power delivery with the updated 2.6L diesel producing 138 BHP and 320 Nm, up from 91 BHP and 250 Nm. However, the heavy kerb weight limits outright performance, making it more suited to sedate driving rather than spirited acceleration. The engine feels strong from low revs with good torque delivery between 1,400-2,600 rpm. NVH levels have improved but remain average with noticeable engine noise and vibrations. The drive modes add functionality but Eco mode significantly dulls throttle response. Overall, the Gurkha prioritizes capability over performance refinement."

"The Gurkha provides basic safety equipment suitable for its off-road focused positioning. With dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and essential safety features, it meets fundamental requirements but lacks modern advanced safety systems. The braking performance is a notable weakness with below-average capability and long pedal travel. The commanding driving position aids visibility but the high floor creates accessibility challenges. For a serious off-roader, the focus remains on mechanical capability rather than electronic safety aids."

"The 2024 Gurkha shows improvement in build quality and fit-finish compared to previous generations, but still falls short of competitors like Tata and Mahindra. The robust construction suits its off-road purpose, but interior quality reveals attention-to-detail issues with loose components, misaligned parts, and visible panel gaps. Material quality is adequate with decent upholstery and functional design, but lacks the refinement expected in modern vehicles. The focus remains on durability over premium finishing."

"The Gurkha's exterior design is its strongest visual asset with exceptional road presence and Mercedes G-Wagon inspired styling. The imposing dimensions, LED lighting signature, and functional expedition-ready aesthetic create a distinctive identity. The 5-door version maintains proportions better than the 3-door with its longer wheelbase. Interior design remains functional and utilitarian, prioritizing practicality over premium aesthetics. The design philosophy clearly emphasizes capability and presence over luxury styling."

"The Gurkha 5-door offers a practical 7-seater layout with adequate space across all three rows, though with some compromises. Front seats provide excellent headroom and commanding position but difficult access due to high floor. Second row comfortably seats three adults with flat floor but tight knee room for taller occupants and non-reclining backrest. Third row provides adequate space for adults with good headroom but poor under-thigh support and knees-up seating position. Space efficiency is hampered by non-folding third row seats and limited cargo flexibility. The 3-door variant offers better cargo capacity at 500L."

Infotainment

"The 2024 Gurkha's infotainment system shows improvement with a larger 9-inch touchscreen and better display quality compared to the previous Kenwood unit. However, it remains basic in functionality and execution. The Android-based system provides essential connectivity through Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth, but the user experience is hampered by lengthy setup processes and non-functional features in test units. Audio quality is below expectations despite adjustment options. The system adequately serves basic needs but lacks the sophistication and reliability expected in modern vehicles."
