Mr. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors said, “The Force Gurkha is a testament to our commitment towards providing an unparalleled driving experience by combining our legacy of robust engineering and manufacturing excellence. India’s diverse geography offers innumerable opportunities to explore and experience, from snow-capped peaks to deserts, scenic coastlines, tropical rainforests, wildlife sanctuaries, and ancient architectural heritage sites. The Force Gurkha is a unique vehicle that is equally comfortable doing daily commutes, highway drives, and overlanding across the country.”
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the 2024 Gurkha packs a punch with a robust 2.6-liter turbocharged inter-cooled diesel engine, churning out an impressive 140PS of power and 320Nm of torque. This formidable powertrain ensures smooth cruising on highways while also providing the necessary muscle to tackle challenging terrains with ease.
One of the standout features of the new Gurkha is its shift-on-the-fly electronic shift system, allowing drivers to seamlessly switch between 2L, 4H, and 4L modes, depending on the driving conditions. Whether navigating urban streets or conquering off-road trails, the Gurkha offers the versatility needed to handle any situation.
Capability Redefined
Equipped with a new independent front suspension, the Gurkha delivers unparalleled ride quality, both on tarmac and off the road. With best-in-class ground clearance of 233mm, 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, and a 35-degree gradeability, the Gurkha sets the bar high for off-road capability.
The vehicle’s 700mm water-wading capability, coupled with a factory-fitted air intake snorkel, ensures that no terrain is too daunting for the Gurkha to conquer. Additionally, fully locking mechanical differentials on both axles provide maximum traction, while electronic shift-on-the-fly technology makes transitioning into 4WD effortless.
Maximum Comfort and Safety
Inside the cabin, the Gurkha offers a spacious and comfortable environment for all occupants. The 5-door variant features captain seats in the 1st and 3rd rows, along with a comfortable 3-seater in the 2nd row, providing ample seating for seven passengers. Meanwhile, the 3-door variant boasts all captain seats with independent access to both rows, offering seating for four.
The vehicle comes loaded with a host of convenience features, including electronically adjustable ORVMs, a start-stop function for improved efficiency, and high-intensity Force Pro-edge LED headlamps. Safety is paramount, with the Gurkha boasting an all-metal body that is frontal crash-compliant, dual airbags, ABS, and EBD.
