Soon another player is going to enter the offroading SUV segment in the country’s automobile market with a completely new style and cleavage. Major vehicle manufacturer Force Motors is going to launch the next generation model of its famous SUV Force Gurkha. Recently this SUV has been spotted during testing, from which it is clear that this SUV will be introduced with many major changes.
The company is not only making changes to its exteriors and interiors but its seating arrangement will also change completely. According to media reports, this SUV will be offered with 5-door and third-row (in the third row) captain seat. It will be based on the existing 3-door model, but it will be much better in size. Mahindra, on the other hand, is also preparing to launch a new 5-door version of its famous offroading SUV Thar in the domestic market, which clearly shows that the competition between the two models is going to increase.

According to the information, Indian customers may first get a chance to drive the Gurkha as a 5-door off-roading SUV, as there is a possibility that it can be launched in the market before the Thar. It is reported that the company can launch the 5-door version of Mahindra Thar in the market next year.
As far as the design is concerned, it will be similar to the current 3-door version, but lengthening it a bit, it will also include a third row. It gets a new chassis and body shell that comply with more stringent crash tests and pedestrian safety norms. It will also get a new front grille, round headlamps, fog lamps and LED daytime running lights (DRL’s), new bumpers and snorkel intake in its single slat design.

Apart from this, four wheel drive (4×4) capability, manual differential lock control, etc. will also be included. Although it is difficult to say anything about the price of its 5 door version right now, but experts believe that it can be around Rs 1 lakh more expensive than the 3 door version. The price of the current model starts from Rs 14.10 lakh.
