Exclusive – Production-Ready Force Gurkha 5 Door Spotted

Force Gurkha 5 Door Spied

Numerous spy shots of the Force Gurkha 5 Door in various stages of development emerged online over the past year. However, the latest Gurkha 5 Door test mule looks near production-ready, suggesting Force Motors could launch their Mahindra Thar 5 Door rival soon. The latest spy shots confirm the Gurkha 5 Door will feature a similar design as the Gurkha 3 Door when launched.

Up front, the Gurkha 5 Door features the same circular LED headlamps with circular LED DRLs as the Gurkha 3 Door. Even the grille appears to be the same as its smaller sibling. Around the side, the Gurkha 5 Door retains the snorkel, bulbous wheel arches and flat body panels of the Gurkha 3 Door while adding a snazzy set of 17-inch alloy wheels. The Gurkha 3 Door, on the other hand, gets 16-inch alloy wheels with chunky 245/70 tyres. Other visual changes include square-shaped rear passenger windows and a smaller fixed quarter glass for 3rd row passengers. The rear end of both SUVs look identical save for the larger tailgate-mounted spare wheel in the Gurkha 5 Door.

The latest spy shots suggest that both SUVs will share the same dashboard layout, tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, manual AC, and 4x4 High and 4x4 Low levers on the centre console. Apart from a bench seat for 2nd row passengers, the Gurkha 5 Door will also offer side-facing 3rd row seats, taking its total seating capacity to 7 passengers.

Force Gurkha 5 Door Expected Prices And Launch

The Force Gurkha 5 Door is expected to launch in the second half of 2024. We expect Force Motors to price the Gurkha 5 Door around the Rs. 16 lakh mark, which would put it up against the upcoming Thar 5 Door. When launched, the Gurkha 5 Door will not only compete with the Mahindra Thar 5 Door, but also rival the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
