So, until we get the 5 door Force Gurkha, here’s everything you need to know about the current 3 door Gurkha if you are planning to buy one-

Force Gurkha- Exterior Design
The Gurkha maintains his previous boxy, upright stance. The overall appearance is similar to what we saw at last year’s Auto Expo. The new Gurkha has a clamshell bonnet, circular LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights, a new single-slat grille with bold ‘Gurkha’ lettering up front, and a new bumper too.
A lot of plastic cladding on the sides, squared wheel arches, off-road tyres, and the spare wheel mounted on the tailgate are also visible. The overall shape is very geometric, and the Gurkha appears to be a focused, purposeful off-road and lifestyle vehicle.
