It was recently revealed that Force Motors will be launching an all-new 5-door Gurkha, alongside an updated version of the 3-door Gurkha, later this month. The 5-door model has been in development for a very long time and test mules of the same have been caught on camera on numerous occasions over the past couple of years.
The Pune-based automaker recently shared the first official video of the 2024 Gurkha range a few days back which showcased some of its exterior highlights. The latest teaser sheds light on its interiors and the features the compact 4×4 SUV will be equipped with.
2024 Force Gurkha interiors teased
It can be safely assumed from the latest short teaser video that the upcoming iterations of Gurkha will be more feature-packed than the outgoing model. Feature highlights inside the cabin of the new Gurkha will include a larger (and hopefully a more advanced) touchscreen infotainment system, and a fully-digital TFT instrument panel replacing the analogue unit.
The centre console is relaid housing the gear-shift lever, cubby hole, a 4×4 rotary knob, and controls for front and rear differential locks. However, the biggest update is the addition of 3-row seats making it a 7-seater layout. In all probability, this will only be available in the longer 5-seat version of Gurkha.
2024 Force Gurkha exteriors
In the previous teaser, glimpses of its exterior were revealed with highlights including signature round LED headlamps with integrated circular LED DRLs, vertical LED taillamp clusters, 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a tailgate-mounted spare wheel, and reprofiled front and rear bumpers. Further, add ons such as a roof-mounted luggage rack, jerry cans, and a snorkel enhance the appeal of a lifestyle adventure vehicle.
2024 Force Gurkha expected powertrain
Under the hood, both the 5-door and the 3-door Gurka are expected to use the same 2.6-liter, four-cylinder turbo diesel engine, generating 90 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. It is paired exclusively with a five-speed gearbox. Power is sent to all four wheels via a low-range transfer case. Off-roading capabilities are enhanced by mechanical front and rear locking differentials
