Force Motors has launched the new generation Force Gurkha in India, with prices starting from Rs 13.59 lakh.

2021 Force Gurkha, engine, specifications

The 2021 Force Gurkha is based on a new C in C ladder frame architecture, on which sits a new body. The 4x4 is powered by a 2.6-litre Mercedes-derived four-cylinder turbo-diesel that pairs with a five-speed manual and puts out 91PS and 250 Nm. The Gurkha sits on independent front suspension and a multi-link rigid live axle suspension at the rear. The heavy-duty offroading kit seen here is the four-wheel drive with a low-ratio transfer case as well as front and rear mechanical differential locks.

2021 Force Gurkha features, accessories

The Gurkha comes with a much longer list of features in this new iteration. Notable features available as standard on the single variant are all-LED headlamps, a 7-inch Kenwood touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, TPMS, power windows and the tilt and telescopic steering. Safety features include two airbags, ABS, EBD and speed-sensitive door locks. The 2021 Force Gurkha will be available in five colour options with the options list including R16 alloy wheels, mud-terrain tyres, roof-rack, jerrycan and roof rails.

2021 Force Gurkha price, rival

At Rs 13.59 lakh, the Force Gurkha undercuts the equivalent Mahindra Thar LX hardtop in its diesel manual form by around Rs 9,000. A long-wheelbase Gurkha, to compete with the five-door Thar is also under development. The Gurkha will be covered by a three-year/1.5 lakh km warranty and come with four free services.
