Force has unveiled the new 2020 Gurkha and it might go on sale anytime soon before BS-6 emission compliant kicks in.

With the update, Gurkha gets itself an updated chassis, BS-6 compliant engine, and it is now compliant to the pedestrian safety crash test norms as well. Helping the car fall in accordance with the pedestrian safety tests is the new bumper, which is now redesigned and houses a set of new headlamps, with circular LED DRls. However, the overall look of the car remains the same with similar body-shell.

It is on the inside that car boasts of some major changes. The utilitarian cabin has now left the space for a much better design. Although, it is still an upright design, but it now gets a touchscreen infotainment system with multiple connectivity options, which was absent for all these years on this car. The instrument console has also been updated with a large MID screen sitting in between the tacho and speedo dials.

The updated Force Gurkha gets a power bump of 5PS over the outgoing car.

Mechanically the car is still identical to what it was, but it has now gained 5hp more over the outgoing 85hp of peak output from the 2.2L turbo-diesel engine. With the update, the car also gets the added safety net of ABS with EBD, Dual-front airbags, and rear parking sensors. The second-row seats on the Gurkha are now front-facing and the car can seat just 4 passengers in total.
