Maruti Suzuki Jimny vs Force Gurkha: Which 4x4 off-roader SUV should you buy?

The most-awaited launch of 2023 is probably the Jimny from Maruti Suzuki. The SUV will be launching on June 7th. One of the differences between the Jimny and the other 4x4 off-roaders and the Jimny is that the SUV is being offered in a 5-door avatar. In fact, India is the first market where Jimny 5-door will officially go on sale. One of the rivals to the Jimny is the Force Gurkha so here is a comparison between the two SUVs.
