Force Gurkha prices hiked by Rs. 51,000

Force Motors is gearing up to launch a 5-door version of the Gurkha to compete with the Mahindra Thar 5-door.

Force Motors has increased the prices of the Gurkha by Rs. 51,000. The SUV now costs Rs. 14.10 lakh (ex-showroom).

The new Gurkha was launched in September last year. The off-roader is powered by a 2.6-litre diesel engine that produces 90 BHP and 250 Nm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel-drive system. The Gurkha also gets a low range gearbox and a locking differential.

At launch, the Gurkha was available in five colour options. However, a Gurkha with an all-black exterior has recently been spotted at a dealer yard.

Force Motors is also testing a 5-door version of the Gurkha. It is expected to be launched in the near future and will compete with the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5-door.
