EXTERNAL DESIGN AND FEATURES
The three-door Force Gurkha Xplorer with a shorter wheel base is a smart looking vehicle. Designed on the shape of an old Mercedes G-Wagen, this iconic looking vehicle continues to turn heads. The Force Gurkha today comes in two variants--Force Gurkha Xplorer and Force Gurkha Xpedition. The Xplorer comes in two versions, one a three-door with a short wheel base of 2400mm and a larger 5-door with a wheel base of 2750mm. Both the models have 4X4 capability. The Force Gurkha Xpedition comes only in one version with a wheel base of 2750mm and has a 4X2 capability. The latter is meant mainly for families who prefer highway drives.
We got our hands on the hard top 3-door Force Gurkha 4X4 Xplorer. The 2017 Xplorer has been spruced up and comes with a new facia with front and rear steel bumpers. Despite its boxy looks, the vehicle has a great macho appeal and sits on 245/70 R16 all terrain tyres with smart wheel arches. The Gurkha Xplorer also comes with a lot of add ons which make the vehicle look stunning. These include alloys and off roading tyres, front bull guard, rear guard, roof carrier with fog lamp rod, shovel holder, axe holder, roof rail, windshield guard, body colour spoiler, jerry can holder and ladder, door visor, winch and fog lamps. Now with all these snazzy fitments, the vehicle looked extremely attractive.
