The refreshed Force Gurkha, available in both 3-door and 5-door variants, is set to make a splash with its updated features. The latest teaser showcases the interior, revealing a seven-seater layout for the 5-door model. Notable additions include a digital driver display, a larger touchscreen with an integrated storage space, and an auto start-stop system.
Safety and Technology:
On the safety front, the Gurkha boasts traction control, hill assist, and a comprehensive safety kit that includes TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). The digital instrument cluster, reminiscent of Renaults setup but with more information, enhances the driving experience.
Mechanical Enhancements:
Under the hood, minor tweaks accompany the familiar Mercedes-sourced 2.6-litre diesel engine and 5-speed manual gearbox. The inclusion of an auto start-stop system and AdBlue for BS6 Phase II compliance promises improved fuel efficiency and environmental performance.
Competitive Positioning:
With these updates come expectations of a price hike, placing the Gurkha's 3-door and 5-door models in a higher price bracket compared to the outgoing version. Direct competition from the likes of the Maruti Jimny and the upcoming Thar 5-door variant from Mahindra will test the Gurkha's prowess in the market.
