Force Gurkha 2025 Launched – Rugged Off-Roader Gets 5-Door Variant, New Features & BS6 Phase-2 Engine

The legendary Force Gurkha is back in 2025 with a bold update. Now offered in both 3-door and all-new 5-door variants, the off-road-focused SUV brings improved practicality without losing its iconic rugged DNA. With upgraded features, a refined interior, and BS6 Phase-2 compliance, the new Gurkha aims to conquer both city streets and extreme terrains.

Bolder Design with Iconic Styling

The 2025 Gurkha retains its boxy, military-inspired look, but comes with new touches like updated bumpers, revised LED headlamps with DRLs, and new alloy wheels. The 5-door version stretches the wheelbase, offering easier access to the rear seats and more space for families or adventure gear.

It still comes factory-fitted with a snorkel, metal bash plates, and roof rails, keeping its extreme off-road identity intact.

New 2.6L Diesel Engine with 4×4 Standard

Powering the Force Gurkha 2025 is a 2.6L BS6 Phase-2 compliant diesel engine, delivering 91 hp and 250 Nm torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The SUV continues to offer 4×4 with low-range transfer case and manual locking differentials on both axles, making it one of the most capable off-roaders in its segment.

Upgraded Interior with More Features

The interior gets a much-needed refresh with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, digital instrument cluster, power windows, rear AC vents, and tilt-adjustable steering. The new 5-door model adds better second-row comfort and optional third-row jump seats.

Despite being rugged, the 2025 Gurkha adds comfort without compromising durability. The build quality feels solid, and the cabin is now more usable for daily commutes.

Safety and Off-Road Equipment

The Gurkha 2025 features dual airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, TPMS, and follow-me-home headlamps. Off-road credentials remain strong with 16-inch all-terrain tyres, manual differential locks, 235mm ground clearance, and 700mm water wading capacity.

Price & Variants in India

  • Force Gurkha 3-door – ₹16.75 lakh (ex-showroom)

Bookings are now open at Force Motors dealerships, with deliveries starting soon.

Final Verdict

The Force Gurkha 2025 is perfect for serious adventurers and off-road lovers who want something unique and robust. With the introduction of a 5-door model, improved comfort, and BS6 Phase-2 upgrades, the Gurkha stands tall as a capable alternative to the Mahindra Thar — and now, it’s more family-friendly too.
