Force Gurkha 5-Door SUV Unveiled Along with Updated 3-Door Counterpart, Gets 138bhp Diesel Engine

The Force Gurkha, now available in both 3-door and 5-door guises, is equipped with a more powerful diesel engine that adheres to the stricter BS6 Phase II emission norms.

<p>Following a teaser a few days ago, the Force Gurkha 5-door is back to offer us a first glimpse into its interior. The dashboard layout looks quite familiar,&nbsp;albeit with a big infotainment touchscreen. We expect the&nbsp;display to be larger than the one currently available. The teaser also reveals a new digital instrument cluster, providing access to information such as speed and tyre pressure. Another update is in the form of a revamped centre console, ditching the&nbsp;traditional 4x4 selector in favour of a knob and therefore offering more space.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A second-row bench seat along with two individual chairs for the rear occupants can also be seen, indicating that the upcoming Force Gurkha 5-door will be available in different seating configurations, whereas the 3-door Gurkha will continue with a four-seater arrangement. For off-roading, the 5-door SUV&nbsp;will be equipped with&nbsp;an electronically controlled shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive selector enabling you to&nbsp;shift from two-wheel-drive to four-wheel-drive&nbsp;with the turn&nbsp;of a knob. This is mounted on the centre console.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Force Gurkha 5-door:&nbsp;Safety Equipment</h2>

<p>Safety-wise, there seems to be a new tyre pressure monitoring system&nbsp;integrated into a TFT meter. Other than that, we expect the&nbsp;Gurkha 5-door to come with traction control, parking sensors, speed-sensing door locks, hill assist, and multiple airbags.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Force Gurkha 5-door:&nbsp;Powertrain&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Under the hood, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/force-motors/">Force</a>&nbsp;Gurkha 5-door will likely&nbsp;feature the same&nbsp;Mercedes-sourced 2.6-litre diesel engine as the Gurkha 3-door. This&nbsp;engine comes mated to a&nbsp;5-speed manual transmission. Like the Gurkha&nbsp;3-door, the&nbsp;5-door lifestyle SUV will likely receive&nbsp;a snorkel for deeper water wading.</p>

<h2>Force Gurkha 5-door: Availability, Price</h2>

<p>Though the&nbsp;company offers no details on its pricing, we expect the&nbsp;Gurkha 5-door to command a premium of over Rs 1 lakh. For reference, the price of the Gurkha 3-door starts at&nbsp;Rs 14.75 lakh (ex-showroom). Upon arrival, the new Force Gurkha 5-door&nbsp;will rival the upcoming Mahindra&nbsp;Thar 5-door and act as a&nbsp;bigger alternative to the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.</p>

<p>Speaking of the competition, the&nbsp;Mahindra Thar 5-door, which has been undergoing testing for nearly two years now, will be <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mahindra-thar-5-door-to-be-unveiled-on-august-15-in-india-heres-what-to-expect-116620/">unveiled on August 15, 2024</a>. Upon arrival, the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door could use the 'Thar Armada' moniker. Its prices will&nbsp;be revealed a few weeks after its unveiling.</p>

<p>Mechanical specifications for the 5-door Thar are expected to remain unchanged, meaning that the three-door model's 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine options will be carried over.&nbsp;The latter develops 130bhp&nbsp;and 300Nm of peak torque, whereas&nbsp;the former churns out 150bhp and 320Nm of torque.&nbsp;</p>

While the exact launch date is yet to be announced, Force Motors is expected to bring the new 5-door Gurkha alongside the updated 3-door version later this month.
