The 2024 Force Gurkha gets updates both on the outside and well as inside, along with a bunch of new creature comforts and an updated engine. On the outside, you get a set of new 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and a pair of new electronically adjustable Outside Rear-View Mirrors. The rest of the elements like the G-Wagen-inspired design, LED headlamps with the LED DRL ring, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel have been retained. Force also offers a heavy-duty roof rack, windshield brace, and tailgate ladder. 

Inside, the SUV now comes in both 4-seater (3-door) and 7-seater (5-door) options, with new seats wrapped in dual-tone upholstery. The updated dashboard features the new 9-inch touchscreen display along with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Other features include – multiple USB ports, individual armrests, and new cupholders. The 7-seater model gets a bench seat with a foldable central armrest and roof-mounted AC vents, while the third row features two captain seats. The 4-seater model only gets 4 captain seats. 

The 2024 Gurkha now features an updated 2.6-litre diesel engine that now makes 138 bhp and 320 Nm of peak torque, up from 90 bhp and 250 Nm. The oil burner is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox along with a proper 4x4 system with front and rear locking differential. Instead of a manual shifter for the 4x4 system now you also get an electronic dial. 

In India, the Gurkha mainly competes with the Mahindra Thar, which is also set to get a 5-door version this year.
