2017 Force Gurkha Xpedition First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh06 Jul 2017

Meet another version of the new for 2017 Force Gurkha. This one is the more practical one. So, it has four doors and seating for eight people and a driver. It gets the same revamped 2.6-litre diesel with 85 horsepower and the conventional shifting 5-speed gearbox from the more lifestyle oriented Gurkha Xplorer (you can read that review HERE). And, it has the same design updates too.

2017 Force Gurkha Xplorer First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh05 Jul 2017

This is the new generation Force Gurkha. Now you might think that I am using the term ‘new-gen’ loosely here because the new Gurkha looks so similar to the older one. But the fact is, under that similar looking top hat, almost everything is new.
