Upcoming Force Gurkha 5-Door Latest Teaser Confirms Seating Layout & New Features – All Details Here
The Force Gurkha is among the most capable off-road SUVs you can buy in India. Now, the automaker is planning to launch the more family-friendly 5-door version of the Gurkha SUV in the Indian automobile market.
Ahead of the imminent launch of the Force Gurkha 5-door SUV, the company has launched a series of new teasers to build excitement and keep potential buyers on their toes.
That being said, the Force Gurkha 5-door comes with 3-rows of seating, significantly boosting the practicality of the model. However, numerous spy shots of the Gurkha 5-door test mule confirm that the company has been experimenting with various seating configurations.
However, the most recent teaser confirms that the upcoming Force Gurkha 5-door SUV will come with a 2+3+2 seating configuration. This means the model will come with 2 captain seats on the front and last row along with a bench seat in the middle.
This is a unique configuration considering most 3row SUVs come with 2 captain seats at the front, 2 captain seats in the middle and a small bench seat at the rear, which in most cases are suitable only for children or people with smaller frame.
It is also worth mentioning that the upcoming Force Gurkha SUV may also come with a 2+2+2 seating configuration consisting of captain seats on all three rows. This seating layout is also unique and a lot more convenient for families with bigger individuals.
In terms of off-road prowess, the upcoming Force Gurkha 5-door SUV is expected to sport the same proven hardware. There will also be a shift-on-fly 4WD system with locking front and rear differentials.
Powering the Force Gurkha 5-door SUV is expected to be the same tried-and-tested, 2.6-litre Mercedes-derived common rail, direct-injection, turbocharged diesel engine. This BS6 phase 2 compliant engine produces 91bhp and 250Nm of peak torque in the outgoing version of the Force Gurkha.
Noticeable features that are likely to be part of the upcoming Force Gurkha 5-door SUV include a bigger infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a fully digital instrument console, individual armrests, speed-sensing door locks, power windows, and central locking.
