Force Gurkha Features 

So as we are nearing the launch of Force Gurkha, the brand has started teasing some of the features of its SUV. Recently, Force Motors shared another teaser, revealing the ‘Digital Instrument Cluster’ which the Gurkha facelift model will get. From the video, it appears that the digital cluster on the new Gurkha is around 7.0-inch in size. Compared to the analogue system from the outgoing model, the new unit looks sharp with clear read outs for speed, rpm, gear and more. Additionally, Force Motors has also neatly integrated the TPMS system into the instrument cluster. Yes, it is a small unit when compared to the upcoming Mahindra Thar which is supposed to get a 10.25-inch digital cluster.

Also, the teaser reveals the new touchscreen system on the upcoming SUV. We have already spotted the interior of the test car of the Gurkha which revealed the touchscreen system. And as we guessed, it looks like an aftermarket system which is supposed to be a 9.0-inch unit. Again, the upcoming Thar is said to come with a more refined, 10.25-inch touchscreen system. Apart from these two features, the dashboard layout of the Gurkha looks exactly the same as before.

Rest, Force has also teased some other factors like the second and third row seats, again, something that we spotted earlier. So the Gurkha will get a bench seat for the second row and captain seats for the third row, both seemingly to get leatherette upholstery. Other key details include the 5-speed gearbox, power windows on the front centre console, two levers for turning on and off differential locks and circular knob for 4X4 engagement.

Surprisingly, Force is also planning to bring the 3-door back along with the new 5-door version. The brand has already started releasing teasers and we can expect it to launch by the end of this month. What about the pricing? The Gurkha 5-door could come in only one variant option priced at Rs 21 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
