The Force Gurkha Goes BS6 With This New Update

• The updated Gurkha gets a plethora of cosmetic and features additions.
• It uses the same 2.6-litre diesel engine, which is now BS6-compliant.
• Force also showcased a bonkers version of the Gurkha at the expo.

Force Motors took  the wraps off the refreshed Gurkha at the Auto Expo 2020. The SUV now features various updates along with a BS6 heart. The carmaker has also tried to uplift the Gurkha’s utilitarian image with various additions and here’s what it is all about:

It retains its overall boxy silhouette and  stance. The changes are to the front lights, grille,  and bumper. The rear end also sees some updates in the form of a new bumper and a redesigned tail lamp. Force showcased a 3-door version of the Gurkha at the expo but these changes are also expected to trickle down to the 5-door versions.

The cabin, on the other hand, gets some major changes. It now features a touchscreen infotainment system, an MID between tacho and speedo. It also looks like Force has improved upon the quality of the materials used. Some features are dual airbags, ABS, rear and parking sensors.
