Force Motors Gurkha
Prices verified against manufacturer & market sources on · how we verify · हिंदी में पढ़ें
₹16.31 Lakh – ₹17.63 Lakhex-showroom
The Force Motors Gurkha is priced between ₹16.31 Lakh – ₹17.63 Lakh (ex-showroom, October 2026) across 2 key variants. The 5-Door 4x4 Diesel variant costs about ₹20,73,525 on-road in Delhi.
The Gurkha is Force Motors' hardcore ladder-frame off-roader, reborn in 2024 in 3-door 5-seat and 5-door 7-seat forms. Its trump card is unmatched at any price near it: front AND rear mechanical differential locks as standard — the Mahindra Thar and Thar Roxx offer at most a rear locker — plus a 700 mm water-wading depth and 233 mm of ground clearance. The FM 2.6 diesel makes 140 PS and 320 Nm through a 5-speed manual with low-range 4x4 on every unit; there is no petrol, no automatic and, unusually, no published ARAI mileage figure.

Force Motors Gurkha — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of the Force Gurkha in India?
The Force Gurkha costs ₹16.31 lakh for the 3-door and ₹17.63 lakh for the 5-door, ex-showroom Delhi, verified across independent market sources. Force also quotes an official national price roughly ₹5,000-6,000 lower — dealer billing in your city may reflect either.
Is the Force Gurkha better off-road than the Mahindra Thar?
On hardware, yes: the Gurkha carries front and rear mechanical diff locks as standard — the Thar and Thar Roxx offer at most a rear locker — plus 700 mm water wading and 233 mm clearance. The Thar counters with petrol and automatic options, more airbags and a far bigger service network.
What engine does the Force Gurkha get?
The FM 2.6-litre turbo-diesel with 140 PS and 320 Nm, mated only to a 5-speed manual with a low-range 4x4 transfer case. No petrol or automatic is offered.
What is the mileage of the Force Gurkha?
Honestly: no ARAI-certified figure exists for the Gurkha — Force Motors has not published one, which is itself unusual. Owner reports suggest roughly 10-12 km/l in mixed driving of the 2.6 diesel.
Is the Force Gurkha a 7-seater?
The 5-door (₹17.63 lakh) seats up to 7 with side-facing rear jump seats in some configurations and forward-facing rows in others; the 3-door (₹16.31 lakh) seats 5. Both come with only 2 airbags, worth weighing for family use.
