Force Motors launches the world's first EOV Gurkha 4x4x4 @ Rs. 6.25 lakh

Force Motors launched the Gurkha, the world's first EOV (Extreme Offroader Vehicle) 4x4x4 at the International Bus and Utility Show 2013 being held at the India Expo Mart, Greater Noida.

The Gurkha is powered by the 2.6-litre Mercedes OM 616 derived turbo
charged intercooled engine. This proven engine produces 82 ps @ 3,200 rpm, has a torque of 230 nm @ 1,800-2,000 rpm, and is mated to a 5-speed synchromesh transmission with Hi-Low option on transfer case. This combined with the differential locks on both front and rear axles, makes it capable of extreme off-roading.

With best-in-class ground clearance of 210 mm, the Gurkha can outmaneuver any terrain. Its distinctive intake 'Snorkel' in sparkling chrome finish ensures ample supply of fresh air to the engine which enables the Gurkha to have best in class water fording height.

The Gurkha has reinforced tubular chassis that can withstand torsional stresses which the vehicle gets subjected to in extreme off-road situations. The improved independent front suspension with a solid torsion bar has been further fine tuned to enhance the riding comfort; essential for an enhanced off-road experience. A newly designed engine compartment ensures low NVH and better serviceability.

"The vastly superior gradeability and its ability to negotiate undulating terrain makes the Gurkha an ideal vehicle for 'off-road' conditions. The macho looking Gurkha has timeless classic appeal that would interest off-road enthusiasts across the nation," said Prasan Firodia, MD Force Motors.

The Gurkha has a factory fitted air-conditioner and power steering making it a pleasure to drive across both urban and off-road conditions. This rugged looking off-roader provides all the new age comforts and conveniences like  sporty and sturdy instrument cluster, dual toned interiors, ergonomically designed dashboard and front facing luxurious reclining seats.

The Gurkha is based on the lines of the legendary Mercedes Gelandewagen (G-Wagon) and the high width tubeless off-road tyres and trendy alloy wheels add to its style quotient. It will be available in 3 attractive colours with distinct and attractive graphics.
