The Gurkha Reborn | More Power, More Doors, More Desirable | Still Need A Thar?

While comfort and features have been added, the interior doesn't quite match the exterior's ruggedness. It feels like a different car, but undeniably better than before. New features include a driver's information display, an aftermarket Nippon screen for connectivity, driver's armrest with ratchet operation, an electronic shifter for the differential gearbox, new center console buttons, and a more powerful AC.

The practicality has certainly improved. However, ingress and egress require a certain level of fitness – it's quite a climb. While the front row offers decent space, the second row suffers from limited knee room, a flat and upright bench, and power window controls that hit your knees. Still, it's a significant improvement over the three-door.

Surprisingly, the rear seats (individual chairs without armrests) offer the second-best space and comfort. Accessing them, however, remains a challenge. The five-door variant boasts a dedicated rear AC unit with its own cooling coil.
