First glimpse of Force Gurkha 5-door revealed, know how much has changed from before

Force Motors has teased the 5-door version of Gurkha and the company has been working on it for a long time. The new 5-door model is expected to be positioned above the 3-door model, which has been quite popular among off-road enthusiasts. The 5-door version of the Gurkha should be launched in the Indian market soon and it will compete with the upcoming Thar 5-door. Come, let us know about it.

In 2022, work will begin on the next Force Gurkha, a five-door SUV. Its outline and design elements are revealed in a recent teaser. Compared to the three-door model, the SUV will have more doors, more windows, and a longer wheelbase. It will be constructed using a modernised ladder-frame chassis. In the teaser, round LED headlamps with snorkel and new alloy wheels are also visible.

The Force Gurkha five-door SUV will have more interior space thanks to its extended wheelbase. This will provide more room for rear passengers to enter and exit the vehicle. The rear passengers in the three-door model could only get inside by swiping the front seats forward or opening the tailboard.

The upcoming 5-door version could be offered in five-, six- and seven-seater configurations. However, nothing has been confirmed yet. Hopefully, the interior design will remain the same.

The Force Gurkha in its 5-door version will also be powered by a Mercedes-Benz sourced 2.6-litre diesel engine, which produces 89 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. It will come with a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 4x4 system with front and rear locking differentials.
