The SUV continues to be powered by the same old Mercedes-Benz sourced 2.6-L turbo diesel engine that delivers 90hp and 250Nm of peak torque. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and boasts commendable low-end, thus making the Gurkha a great car to tackle those extreme off-road scenarios. In addition to this, it also gets a 4X$ drivetrain with a low-ratio transfer case, live axles at the front and at the rear, and rear locking differentials. A compact footprint further helps it offer a better off-roading experience.
