The carmaker has been teasing the 2021 Force Gurkha on its social media platforms for quite some time now. It is a purpose-built off-road SUV and thus will sport several elements specifically designed for those challenging terrains. Some of the features include a new snorkel, a newly designed 'Shark Gill' on the fender for better airflow, and a new larger rear windshield for better visibility. The SUV will retain its signature boxy design, but it could see several styling updates for an up-market look. It will sport a single-slat grille, LED Pro Edge headlamps and DRLs, a fender lamp with new branding, newly designed ORVMs with Khukri engraving, fog lamps, clamshell bonnet with indicators, new black cladding, rear-door mounted spare wheel, vertical taillights, a high-mounted LED stop lamp and more.

It's just you and your adventure. And our moulded floor mats, that ensure low NVH in the cabin, make sure of that! With this, we've designed the interiors of the All-New Gurkha to be as breath-taking as the view outside.
