The Force Gurkha, known for its rugged build and off-road capabilities, is back in the spotlight as Force Motors continues its road testing. The buzz around town is whether there’s a new model or variant in the works that could add more value than the current model.
A New Variant?
Force Motors has been tight-lipped about the specifics, but sources close to the company hint at a possible new model or variant. The Gurkha has always been a favorite among adventure enthusiasts and the Indian Army for its durability and performance. The latest road tests suggest that Force Motors is aiming to enhance these features even further.
The new model is rumored to come with several upgrades. Expect a more powerful engine, improved suspension, and enhanced off-road capabilities. The design is also expected to get a facelift, with a more modern look while retaining its iconic ruggedness.
The road tests are being conducted in various terrains across India, from the dusty plains of Rajasthan to the muddy tracks of Kerala. The goal is to ensure that the new Gurkha can handle any challenge thrown its way.
Potential Buyers?
Interest in the new Gurkha is already high. The Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the Mahindra Thar, Gurkha’s arch rivals have been doing fairly well in the segment. The Gurkha with its new updates might attract more buyers. Especially the ones who have shortlisted the Jimny may sway towards the new Gurkha for its size. The Indian Army is also keeping a close eye on the developments, as the Gurkha has been a reliable partner for many years.
What’s Next?
Force Motors hasn’t announced an official launch date yet, but the anticipation is building. The company is expected to reveal more details in the coming months. For now, the road tests continue, and the excitement grows. We could expect the new Gurkha to be showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo.
