Force Gurkha 2021– car dimensions: 3965 mm long, 1865 mm wide and 2080 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,964 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 500 litres.
The cabin has a 9-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay plus a digital instrument cluster. Manual air conditioning cools the space, with power windows and charging points for occupants. Rear parking sensors and a reversing camera aid manoeuvres. Dual airbags and TPMS are standard. No cruise control. Advanced aids such as automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning or lane keep are not fitted.
Boot space measures 500 litres with the rear captain seats in place, enough for family trip luggage.
Ladder-frame chassis, independent front and multi-link rear coil suspension with anti-roll bars, plus locking differentials on both axles suit tough off-road and work duties. A rear towing hook is available as a separate accessory. No published towing capacities or payload figures.
The cabin feels functional and open with a tall driving position, soft-touch black dashboard, digital cluster and 9-inch touchscreen. Four captain seats with armrests offer decent long-drive support and space, plus strong HVAC. Large windows give good views, though plastics are hard and rear access is through the back door.
Diesel with 63.5-litre tank and Adblue system
ARAI fuel economy 15 kmpl
3-year or 1.5-lakh-km warranty with 4 free services
Dual airbags, ABS with EBD and TPMS standard
Frontal crash compliant body
200-plus service touch points nationwide
The 2.6-litre diesel runs on regular fuel plus Adblue from a 20-litre tank. Official economy sits at 15 kmpl under test conditions, with real-world figures often lower depending on load and terrain. A start-stop system helps save a little in city use.
Servicing starts with four free visits at set kilometre or day marks, then paid checks every 10,000 km or 120 days. Engine oil changes after the first service run every 20,000 km. Gearbox and axle oils last longer between changes. Pickup-and-drop is available for a fee, and roadside help covers the first three years.
Safety kit is basic but solid for the class: dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, tyre-pressure monitoring that includes the spare, rear camera and sensors, ISOFIX mounts and speed-sensing locks. The full-metal body is frontal-crash compliant. No independent star rating has been published.
Living with the Gurkha means planning around a thinner dealer net outside big cities, yet the long warranty and free early services keep early ownership simple. Regular oil and filter work is the main routine for this ladder-frame 4x4.
