- Mahindra is also bringing an electric version of Thar.
- The electric SUV market in India is growing rapidly.
Mahindra and Force
The competition between Mahindra Auto and Force Motors in the lifestyle SUV segment has been long ago. But it is clear that at present, Mahindra is a one -sided winner in this competition. The company is now stepping into the electric segment after selling Thar and Thar Rocks with petrol and diesel engines. Force Motors is also trying to make its place in the electric lifestyle SUV segment.
The company has not yet given any information about Gurkha EV, however, seeing the spy image, it is clear that the company has started testing Gurkha EV. It can be estimated that Force Motors is getting ready to compete with Mahindra, including an electric version of Thar. On August 15, Mahindra is preparing to showcase 4 new concept vehicles and one of them can be the Near Production version of Thar Electric.
Combat with Thar
Force Motors can develop an electric version of its Gurkha to compete with Mahindra's Future Electric Offerings. Looking at the test mule, we can see that it is fully visible without any chemoplas. If the company is actually developing the electric version of its already popular Gurkha, then there is less possibility of any change in the design in Gurkha EV. This test mule was part of the Fleet of the other Force Motors Test mules. ,
