The all-new Force Gurkha is likely to be a good step-up over its predecessor. As seen in the newly released teasers, the all-new Force Gurkha will come with a redesigned bonnet, newly designed shark gill on the fender, and air intake snorkel. Based on the previous spy shots and leaked brochure images, the SUV is likely to retain the same boxy silhouette. The upcoming SUV will sport a single-slat grille with circular headlamps, integrated LED DRLs, new bumpers, fog lamps, clamshell bonnet with indicators, new black cladding, rear-door mounted spare wheel, vertical taillights, a high-mounted LED stop lamp and more.
On the inside, the 2021 Force Gurkha is expected to sport an all-black cabin. As seen in the previous spy shot, the SUV is likely to get a touchscreen infotainment system, a three-spoke steering wheel, power windows, ABS, dual front airbags, forward-facing rear seats, bigger air-con vents with glossy black bezels, manual HVAC system, and more.
