Force Gurkha 5-Door, spied testing in Ladakh, promises off-road excellence, unique design, and imminent competition in India's dynamic automotive market.
Force Motors is gearing up for the launch of its Gurkha 5-Door, aiming to compete with the Mahindra Thar 5-Door and Maruti Suzuki Jimny. The latest spy shots captured during altitude testing in Ladakh indicate the vehicle's readiness for diverse terrains.
The testing of the Force Gurkha 5-Door continues, with the latest mules spotted in Ladakh and Pune, Maharashtra. Altitude testing in Ladakh provides a challenging environment for off-road vehicles like the Gurkha and is essential for exploring their limits.

The test mules, wrapped in distorted pattern camouflage, ride on 18-inch alloy wheels, portraying a robust off-road image. The unmistakable snorkel adds to its distinctive appearance, drawing comparisons to the iconic Mercedes G-Class or G Wagon, especially in the 5-Door variant.
While the test mules reveal minimal changes, the absence of black cladding below the door on a Ladakh test mule raises questions. Force Motors had nearly launched the Gurkha 5-Door in 2022, with production-ready units and dealership personnel training. The delay prompts speculation, but enthusiasts eagerly await its launch.
The Gurkha 5-Door's potential headstart against the Thar 5-Door, considering its limited presence on the roads, has enthusiasts anticipating its arrival. However, concerns about sharing the interior with other Force commercial vehicles persist, and enthusiasts hope for a distinct cabin design.
The Gurkha 5-Door retains key features such as round headlights, LED DRLs, a tall snorkel, fender-mounted LED indicators, and a G-Class-inspired design. The interior includes manual AC, aftermarket infotainment, and multiple seating configurations. Powered by the FM CR 2.6L Mercedes-derived turbo diesel engine, the Gurkha maintains its off-road strengths with a 4X4 transfer case, front and rear mechanically lockable differentials.
