Force Gurkha - Engine and Performance

Talking about its performance, both Gurkha models are expected to be equipped with a 2.6-litre diesel engine sourced from Mercedes. This engine has been improved to produce a power output of 140 bhp, a significant increase from the previous Gurkha's power output of 91 bhp. It is available with a 5-speed manual transmission and there is no automatic transmission option available currently. Four-wheel drive is standard and can be controlled via a switch on the centre console. It also includes an auto start-stop system for better fuel efficiency. Force Motors had paused production of the Gurkha for over a year to update it to meet stricter emission norms. The new engine now complies with these norms, thanks to the use of AdBlue.
