FORCE MOTORS

FORCE MOTORS

Pune based Force Motors are known for their people carriers and MUVs. The Gurkha compact SUV from Force Motors is without doubt one of the best off-roaders in the country It’s a shame that not many people know about it though. Force Motors is now planning an entry into the proper family SUV segment. The company has been working closely with Guangdong Foday of China and have been testing a full-size SUV for about a year now. The new SUV, which is based on the Explorer III platform of the Chinese carmaker will be positioned somewhere between the Tata Safari and the Ford Endeavour.
Power will be produced using a 2.2-litre, Mercedes-Benz derived common-rail diesel engine, which would be good for a peak power output of more than 150bhp and peak torque of more than 330Nm. Launch expected in April 2010.
