All-New Force Gurkha

After a long hiatus, the Force Gurkha is all set to make a comeback with revised changes in and out and extensive changes to mechanicals under the skin. Force Motors has lifted off the covers from the all new Gurkha SUV, which draws the design language of the model previewed back at the Auto Expo 2020. The new Force Gurkha will officially go on sale on September 27, 2021, with the deliveries proposed to start from October 15, 2021.

2021 Force Gurkha: Exterior

The new Force Gurkha has a completely revamped exterior design, but it continues to retain the boxy design and upright stance of its predecessor. Every panel on the new Force Gurkha is all new, including the front grille with bold ‘Gurkha’ lettering, front and rear bumpers, new rounded fog lamps, rounded LED headlamps with jewel-themed circular daytime running LED and new vertical tail lamps.

Currently, the Force Gurkha will be sold only as a three-door SUV. With this, the new Gurkha now comes with much bigger rear windscreen and longer rear windows, the latter of which are fixed and are called ‘panoramic windows’ by Force Motors. The rear fenders of the SUV do get the unique 4x4x4 badging, which was introduced by the previous model of the SUV. Also standard on the SUV will be a black colored snorkel just above the right front fender.

As compared to the dual tone cabin of the show car at the Auto Expo 2020, the production model will be having an all grey themed cabin. The rear flat bench of the previous model has now been replaced by two front facing captain seats.

The dashboard is all new too, with the Gurkha getting a touchscreen infotainment system, three-spoke steering wheel, manual controls for AC and closed glove box.
