The 2024 Gurkha range now comes equipped with 8-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and a set of new manageable outside rear-view mirrors.

Under the hood, the Force Gurkha 3-door and 5-door models are powered by an updated 2.6-litre turbocharged intercooled diesel engine.

The auto giant is also offering two driving modes: Eco and Power.

In the Indian market, the 2024 Force Gurkha will rival the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-door and Mahindra Thar 3-door. Commenting on the launches, the Managing Director of Force Motors, Prasan Firodia, 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.” He further added, “The Force Gurkha is a unique vehicle that is equally comfortable doing daily commutes, highway drives, and overlanding across the country.”
