Yes Jayadev, agree with you. I always thought that way. Also, went into the tata sumo facebook page and could see the reply that they do have tata sumo 4x4 and the price is 7.8 lakhs on road. But I do not see any one owning it.

Guys, please spread some light on this if anyone have some more information on tata sumo gold 4x4.

I think Force should launch Gurkha with 140 bhp engine that is currently there in Force One SUV!!What say experts,will this engine be good enough for heavy off-roading?

But for off-roading torque is more important than the power output right?

Force Motors has launched the Gurkha SUV.

The Gurkha is powered by Mercedes-Benz's 2.6-litre OM616-based diesel engine, which does duty in various other Force Motors products as well. The engine is good for 81bhp at 3200rpm and 23.45kgm at 1800rpm, and comes mated to a five-speed manual gearbox,

Styling updates include an fresh front section with redesigned headlights and a new grille. It also comes with roof rails, and alloy wheels taken from the Force One SUV. There's also an improvement in quality as far as interiors are concerned.

The OM616-powered Gurkha is currently available only as a BS-III version, with a BS-IV variant expected later. Three variants are on offer. Two soft-top six-seaters — one with 4WD and the other with 2WD — and a hard-top five seater with 4WD. The chief competitor to the Gurkha is the Mahindra Thar, which is available with a BS-III-compliant direct-injection diesel motor as well as a more powerful BS-IV CRDe unit.

The prices for the Force Gurkha are — Rs 8.5 lakh for the 4WD Hard Top, Rs 8.35 lakh for the 4WD Soft Top, and Rs 6.25 lakh for the 2WD Soft Top (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

The second pic is the customized version of Gurkha, and yes it does look very tasty.i feel the quality of the soft top does not seem to be as good as Thar.(i may be wrong here)
