Motown India Magazine - February 2019

In this issue

The February 2019 issue of Motown India has the new 2019 Force Gurkha Xtreme on the cover. This 4X4 vehicle is meant for some hard core off-roading. We were thoroughly impressed by its capabilities on some very difficult terrains. The vehicle comes with differential locks for both front and rear wheels. With hardly any electronics to boot, this vehicle is aimed at all those who love off-roading. Besides the Force Gurkha, we have also reviewed the new Toyota Camry Hybrid Electric and the new Maruti Suzuki WagonR. We also have a special report on electric vehicles industry. An exhaustive report on the CES 2019 also contains news from various global companies that have come out with innovative products on the technology front.

Rear Seat Seatbelts, What Are Those?

We, at Motown India, love safety as much as we love the vehicles that we drive.

Real Beast

“The new FORCE GURKHA XTREME 4X4 from Force Motors is a true definition of a real beast. It may have a bland cabin but when it comes to its engine, transmission, transfer box, suspension and build, it’s every off-roader’s dream come true. Mind you, this vehicle is not for those who love to be pampered by a host of electronic buttons and up market upholstery. Off-roaders as well as the entire defence forces in the country will find this vehicle a real value for money.”

The Future Is Here

“If at all we can get close to the great electric vehicle dream, it has to be through the hybrid route. Hybrids are of two kinds, mild and hard. Hard hybrids offer a lot of value and the all-new up market TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ELECTRIC is the right example of a perfect hard hybrid. Typically for every 1000km you drive in this vehicle around 500 odd kms are run using electric power.
