Considering the popularity of off-road SUV Thar in the Indian market, Force Motors is preparing to launch the Gurkha. Currently, the Force Gurkha is sold exclusively in a 3-door format. However, recently a test mule of a 5-door Force Gurkha has been a hot topic of discussion on the internet. The spy images give a glimpse of the side profile of the 5-door Gurkha.
