Overview

Force Motors has a long-standing technical association with Mercedes-Benz, and the Gurkha benefits from that tie-up. Its ladder-frame chassis and all-terrain architecture are inspired by the Mercedes G-Wagon’s philosophy, making it one of the few Indian SUVs with genuine off-road DNA rather than marketing gimmicks. That explains why the design isn’t chasing curves or flamboyance: the upright stance, snorkel, round headlamps, and exposed hinges are deliberate nods to... More

Force Gurkha FAQs

The Gurkha 3 Door starts around ₹16.75 lakh (ex-showroom) in many cities. On-road in Delhi it comes near ₹19.9-20 lakh depending on variant, taxes, RTO, etc.

Under its hood sits a 2.6-litre diesel engine (FM 2.6 CR CD), making about 138 bhp @ 3200 rpm and 320 Nm torque between ~1,400-2,600 rpm. Transmission is 5-speed manual, and drivetrain is 4WD with mechanical lockers/differentials for serious off-road grip.

The Gurkha 3 Door measures ~3,965 mm in length, 1,865 mm in width, and 2,080 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,400 mm. Ground clearance is about 233 mm. Boot space is ~500 litres.

Owner-reported real-world mileage is about 12 kmpl in mixed city driving. ARAI certified or claimed mileage is a bit higher depending on variant and driving conditions.

This is not a city slicker. Gurkha 3 Door shines when you hit rough roads, off-road trails, mud, water crossings (with snorkel optional or standard in some trims), mountain roads with steep inclines, or remote forest tracks. If your daily commute is potholes, inclines, rough surfaces, or if you live somewhere with seasonal rough terrain, then Gurkha makes sense.

Buy it if you love adventure more than comfort, want a car that looks badass and can take a beating. If your roads are bad, or your trips include off-road escapes or needing 4×4, this is your kind of car. If you want luxury tech or rear-seat softness, maybe less so.

You get basics like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, heavy duty chassis, good brakes front, durable rear, steel wheels, big tyres (255/65 R18 in many trims), good ground clearance, and rugged suspension setup. It isn’t plush, but built to endure.

Let’s estimate: assume you drive ~15,000 km per year (75,000 km in 5 yrs). If average is ~12 kmpl, fuel cost = For 75,000 km, you need ~6,250 litres (75,000 ÷ 12 ≈ 6,250). If diesel is ₹90/litre (approx), fuel cost = ₹5,62,500 over 5 years. Add in maintenance, tyres (thick tyres + offroad wear), insurance, tax = maybe another ₹1.5-2 lakh or more depending on use. So 5-year ownership could easily touch ₹7-8 lakh+ (fuel + servicing + insurance etc) for heavy offroad use. For mild city & highway mix maybe less.
