The Force Gurkha 5-Door marks a major update for Force Motors, expanding the Gurkha’s appeal beyond hardcore off-road use. Known mainly for its commercial vehicles, the brand has steadily built a presence in the off-road space, and this new version takes things further.
With a longer wheelbase, a 7-seater layout, and added practicality, the 5-door Gurkha is designed to be more usable for everyday driving while retaining its rugged capability. It also gets an updated engine and new features, making it a more complete package compared to the earlier 3-door version.
Priced around ₹18 lakh (ex-showroom), it sits higher than the standard Gurkha, which raises an important point for buyers considering the upgrade.
So does the added space, practicality, and feature set justify the higher price of the 5-door Gurkha? Here’s a closer look at its design, interior, performance, and overall package.
Exterior Features
The front facade of this vehicle features a giant ‘Gurkha’ inscription on the front grille, the stylish new 18-inch alloy wheels, and the LED headlamps with the stylish segmented Daytime Running Lamp trademark are some of the striking highlights. Green, Red, White, and Black are the four color options for both the 5-door and 3-door models.
