Despatches to Gurkha dealers shall commence from this week and the test drives/deliveries to customers shall commence from mid-May. Booking for the vehicle can be done with a payment of INR 25,000 at the nearest Gurkha dealership, the company said.
The new Force Gurkha is powered by a 2.6 litre turbocharged intercooled diesel engine delivering 140PS and peak torque of 320Nm over a wide band from 1400 to 2600rpm, the company said in a media release.
The improved power and torque output enables it to cruise on the expressways at triple-digit figures and also enables it to easily extricate itself from tricky situations off the road better than any other vehicle in this class.
Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors, 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.”
“India’s diverse geography offers innumerable opportunities to explore and experience, from snow-capped peaks to deserts, scenic coastlines, tropical rainforests, wildlife sanctuaries, and ancient architectural heritage sites. The Force Gurkha is a unique vehicle that is equally comfortable doing daily commutes, highway drives, and overlanding across the country,” Firodia added.
Force Gurkha comes with fully locking mechanical differentials on both axles and Electronic shift-on-the-fly for effortless shifts into 4WD when the terrain gets rough. Force Gurkha retains the iconic and much loved Mercedes Gelandewagen inspired design synonymous with its rugged character and extreme potential. Maximum space, maximum comfort.
The new Gurkha is the most spacious vehicle in its class offering commanding driving position, panoramic all-round visibility, and the most comfortable seating for all occupants. To keep the occupants safe is the all-metal body that is frontal crash-compliant, along with the dual airbags, ABS, and EBD, the release added.
