2024 Force Gurkha Teased Ahead of Launch: Off-Roading Powerhouse with Modern Touches

Get ready for the mud! Force Motors is about to unleash the highly anticipated 2024 Force Gurkha in just a few weeks.

Leaked previews and secret photos show the new Gurkha has some big off-road improvements and cool features. Whether you’re a three-door traditionalist or a five-door adventurer, the 2024 Gurkha promises a modernized driving experience with a tech boost, design tweaks, and a revamped interior. 

Design Enhancements and Exterior Features

The five-door Gurkha retains much of the design DNA of its three-door sibling, including its classic boxy shape, iconic rounded headlamps with LED daytime running lights, and circular LED tail lamps.

Up front, the new Gurkha gets a bolder look with a redesigned grille that proudly wears the Gurkha badge. They are wrapped in thick all-terrain tires, indicating the off-road capacity of the fast new alloy wheels SUV. And of course, the iconic spare wheel mounted on the back adds a rugged touch that screams “adventure-ready.”

One noticeable addition is the roof-mounted ladder with a jerry can holder and a snorkel for improved water-wading capability. Additionally, the five-door Gurkha boasts vertically stacked taillamps with a similar design to the three-door version, incorporating a rounded element at the top.

Interior and Technological Upgrades

Inside, the five-door Gurkha welcomes drivers and passengers with a refreshed dashboard layout that houses a larger touchscreen display for the infotainment system.

The new Gurkha will have a touchscreen infotainment system that works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can easily stay connected while on the move. The interior ditches the all-black and goes for a more stylish two-tone look with comfy leatherette seats—perfect for wiping away trail dust in comfort.

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a modern digital instrument cluster that ditches the old dials for crisp readouts of your speed and even keeps an eye on your tire pressure.

Safety is better too, with features like auto start-stop to save fuel and electronic stability control to keep you steady on any terrain. An electronically controlled four-wheel drive selector replaces the traditional 4×4 shifter, creating more space in the center console.

Seating Configurations and Layouts

The five-door Gurkha offers a variety of seating configurations, including options for five, six, or seven passengers. The second row consists of a bench seat, while the third row features individual captain’s chairs. This flexibility lets everyone have a more personalized and comfortable ride. The seats have two-tone designs and Gurkha logos on the headrests.

Powertrain and Performance

Under the hood, the five-door Gurkha is expected to carry over the Mercedes-sourced 2.6-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine from the three-door model. This powertrain generates 90 PS and 250 Nm of torque, and while it may be tuned for greater performance in the five-door version, no official confirmation has been made. The engine is paired with a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to all four wheels as standard.
