Introduction # Force official Website # HD Images #

Gurkha Car is designed and produced by Force Motors India.
It’s a four-wheel-drive vehicle designed primarily for adventure.
Whereas Mahindra Thar is the only competitor of force Gurkha.
Now force Gurkha 2021 to get new interior and exterior updates and an engine.
Besides this, the force Gurkha 2021 price is ₹ 14,75,000/- Ex-Showroom comes with only one variant.

Force Gurkha price

Model	On-Road Price
Gurkha 4X4X4	₹ 15,10,000 Lakh
Force Traveller price	₹ 17.16-21.79 Lakh
Force Trax price	₹ 12.66 Lakh

How does Force Gurkha 2022 look from the outside?

Before starting the review I want to say that force Gurkha 3 door is not popular in India.
And I haven’t seen any of the Gurkha on the road till now not even a single time.
Whereas force designed Gurkha to compete with the Mahindra Thar.
And Mahindra Thar is getting popular in India and offering attractive design & performance.

Well, a force designed Gurkha for off-roading not for ambling around in the city.
But I have to say that this new Gurkha car looks much better than the previous one.
Now today we will talk about why Gurkha Force is not popular in India.
First, its exterior design looks boring and does not look as premium as Thar.

The second thing is Force Motors designed this car for adventure not for daily commutes.
Although the 2021 design is improved still not enough to appeal to you.
Although it looks tough outside and its design reminds you of a Mercedes Benz G 4X4 Squared.
Besides this Gurkha, 4X4 gets full LED headlights that are first in this segment.

Not even Thar LX is not offering LED headlights and indicators on the top of fenders.
Apart from that front grille and bumpers’ design are completely changed.
Now it comes with a GURKHA badge on the centre of the grille that looks much better than before.
Other than this customers will get Side cladding all around to protect vehicles’ bodies during the adventure.

And these times rear windows are larger which is enough to give you a safari-like feeling from inside.
Moving on the rear we have a single-piece door with a spare wheel mounted on it.
And a tow hook and rear footstep to make it in and out of the car easy.
As I said in the starting that Gurkha is a purpose-built car because of the front right fender.

There is an Air Snorkel is provided to increase the water wading capacity by 700 mm.
Now many people don’t know about Air Snorkel let me tell you what exactly its.
Its remains are attached to the air filter and during a river crossing, it prevents water to come in.
At last, I want to say yes it does not look as premium as Mahindra Thar but it feels really solid.

Watch Detailed Comparision of Force gurkha with Mahindra thar.

Colors Available for Force Gurkha

Our Gurkha is now available in five exciting colors so let’s have a look.
It’s Red, Green, White, Orange, and Grey & in this blog, I am showing force Gurkha Green colour.
Force Gurkha Red & Orange looks really well and just to be honest I like all the colors.

New 2021 Force Gurkha interior

Now let’s get into the car and try to find out why people are hesitating to spend their hard earns money on it?
When I looked at this car from the inside I found really basic interiors.
I mean Force motors improved the interior as we have got in force Gurkha Extreme.

The built quality is below average and the interior’s black color looks boring.
Apart from that if you step inside the Mahindra Thar then you can understand why it’s geeing popular.
Now let’s have a look at what features force is offering in Gurkha Car?

Force is offering a 17.78 cm touch screen with four speakers with USB/FM/Bluetooth.
Apart from that, I am happy the Force is offering Android Auto & Apple Car play in it.
Besides this Manual A.C & Heater, Power windows, central locking, Dual USB Socket & 12V outlet is available.
One thing I have to say seats are really comfortable and offer a lot of space inside them.

And getting inside the Gurkha 4X4 is much easier than the Mahindra Thar.
I am saying that because the Gurkha tailgate opens side-wise and there is a passage between the rear seats.
That helps people to come from the rear and the footrest on the rear and side footstep makes it easier.
The rear seats are comfortable with space more than the Mahindra Thar LX.

And offeres more room for stretching legs and headroom is also great and doesn’t make you feel cramped.
Adding more fun to the rear seat is its large side window but unfortunately, they are of fixed type.
Now moving on to the center console you will get a 5-speed gear knob with a 4X4 shifting knob.

Apart from that two differential mechanical locking levers are mounted on both sides of the gear knob.
Besides this two power window switches also sits on the center console.

On an all-force Gurkha looks much better than before and I have shown the latest interior images of Gurkha in this blog.

Force Gurkha Modified with Images

Modified Force Gurkha Must Watch.

When I visited the 2020 auto expo there I saw a force Gurkha modified that looks much larger than a regular Gurkha.
And that modified Gurkha was reminding me of Mercedes-Benz G-Class G 500 4X4 squared.

I have seen both vehicles that’s why I am saying this one more thing Gurkha is currently using a Mercedes engine.
Now let’s come to the topic that Modified Gurkha was clearly built for extreme off-roading
And the company added some adventure-ready necessary equipment to make it more reliable.
Like a massive bulbar on the front with an electric wrench attached to it.
Apart from that large snorkel and mud-terrain tire of 40/13.5 R17 deeply treaded mud tires.
These tyres were really large even a big rock could be easily passed underneath the car.
On the other hand, I have seen some protective body works on force Gurkha Modified.
Like side body cladding, hanging footrests, and two ladders mounted to climb on the car.
Apart from that four auxiliary lights were counted on the roof for excellent visibility at night.
So these are some highlights of the modified bs6 force Gurkha that I have seen.

Force Gurkha Rainforest challenge # Watch Video #

Force Gurkha 4X4X4 VS Thar 4X4 which is better for you? — RFC Gurkah 2018 Auto Expo.

At the 2018 auto expo, I also saw the modified Gurkha that was designed for Rain rainforest challenge.
That car was upgraded in 2015 and won the RFC rain forest challenge.
When I saw that car I was amazed to see how large this Gurkha is.
Because it had larger 37-inch wheels and independent front suspension.
Apart from that Gurkha RFC 4X4 had Eaton locking differential.
The power of the SUV is 4 cylinders, an inline Common Rail Diesel engine.
That produces 140 hp and 321 nm of torque and a 5-speed gearbox with 4X4 High and the low ratio was available.

2022 Force Gurkha Mileage and Performance

Previous force Gurkha Extreme was available with a 2149 cc, 4cylinder inline engine.
That engine was able to produce 140 hp and 321 Nm of torque.
But this engine is discontinued and the 2596 cc Common rail BS6 engine is currently powering Gurkha.

This 2596 cc engine develops 91 hp and 250 Nm of torque that produced low power than before.
Along with it 5-speed manual transmission with a 4X4 high & low ratio gearbox comes.
Yes, this car has real off-road capability and on-road performance is average.
I am saying this because on light throttle inputs below 90 kmph engine feels calm.

And about 100 kmph engine really struggles to give its best and Gurkha’s top speed is 125 kmph.
Well as I said is not designed for this and due to this Mahindra Thar gives a strong performance on the highway.
Although the Gurkha engine is quiet there is very little vibration felt on the steering.
Talking about Mileage Force Gurkha’s mileage claimed by ARAI is 17.0 kmpl that’s great.

Condition	Mileage
4X4 Drive with A.C	10.28 kmpl.
2WD with A.C (Before 1st Service)	10.96 kmpl.
2WD with A.C (After 1st Service)	11.59 kmpl.

How does the new force Gurkha perform off-road?

Force Gurkha SUV is a really good off-road machine and its journey starts where the roads end.
Yes, I am saying true this Gurkha SUV is capable of doing what very few SUVs can do.
And for great performance, we really thank its 37 Deg approach angle & 33 degrees departure angle.
The ramp break-over angle is 25 degrees and Gurkha 4X4 can easily climb up to 35 degrees uphill.

Now as we know Air snorkel comes with the car & it helps SUVs easily cross deep rivers up to 700 mm.
On the centre console 4X4 high and low ratio selector is mounted to engage 2h/4h & 4l.
I have explained this in my previous Mahindra Thar blogs so you can check it.
And there are two mechanical locking differential levers placed on both sides of the gear knob.

The left side lever locks the front differential and the right side lever locks the rear differential.
To lock you have to stop the vehicle pull and turn the lever to lock the differential.
And I have to say that Gurkha Car has to go anywhere capability it doesn’t let you down in any condition.
