If you are aware of the Mercedes G Wagon, then Gurkha will look quite similar. It gets a boxy design, flat clamshell bonnet with large indicators and over-round LED headlamps that get the Juul style DRS treatment. This gives it a classic look like the G Wagon, which feels great. It gets Gurkha badging on the mesh grille and gets a wide bumper below that, with fog lamps and a sturdy batch plate underneath. As before, it comes with a snorkel stander, so the water wading capacity of the Gurkha is quite an impressive 700mm.
If you park the new vehicle with the old one, then you will see that almost every panel is new and its fitment is also quite tight and needy. A lot of site laddering has been given. Along with this, site steps have also been given, which is necessary to climb such a high SUV.

Looking at the upper part of the vehicle, now a large single-piece glass has been used in the rear which looks quite luxurious. It doesn’t open but Force Motors may bring a sliding option in the future. The rear gets body integrated tail lamps, a full-size spare wheel, a new window fitment, and an updated bumper design.
Overall, this vehicle makes a lot of standouts and a big hand in this also goes to its color shade. There are also tons of accessories to make each Gurkha a little more unit, including a small rear ladder, jerrycan with roof rack, all-terrain tires, and more. The new model is already 20mm high, 22mm wide, but the wheelbase is the same 2400mm. However, the length has increased from 124 mm as the front overhang has been slightly extended to meet the new pedestrian safety and crash test rules.

The rear-seat passengers of Force Gurkha have to take an entry from the backdoor. A bit tricky but acceptable from standard three-door SUVs. There is a lot of space in the rear seat but in the seat, you get a lap belt and not a three-point seatbelt. And those big single-piece windows make the cabin feel quite airy. The boot space is 500 leaders, but if the car is high, then loading or unloading will take a lot of effort.
