Force Gurkha 5-door deliveries commence ahead of Thar Armada launch

Force Motors has commenced the deliveries of the Gurkha 5-door and Gurkha 3-door in India. The 5-door version starts at ₹18 lakh whereas the 3-door version starts at ₹16.75 lakh. Both prices are ex-showroom and introductory. Both vehicles' features and powertrain are the same, but as expected, the 5-door version comes with a longer wheelbase.

On the sides, there is a larger 18-inch alloy wheels that have a new design. Up-front there are circular LED headlamps with new Daytime Running Lamps.

The 5-door version of the Gurkha comes with a longer wheelbase. This has helped in adding rear doors to the SUV which means that the ingress and egress for the rear occupants have improved significantly. In fact, Force offers a bench seat for the second row and two captain seats for the third row.

Despite these upgrades, the Gurkha range maintains its simple and practical design.
