As for the new Gurkha itself, it looks similar to the previous model despite the entire body shell being new. Although there are some key changes over the older model, such as the new grille, bumpers, light clusters, larger rear windows that Force calls ‘panoramic windows’ and a larger rear windshield. There are even a few design changes like the front grille now has ‘Gurkha’ spelt out rather than the Force Logo and it gets a new 4x4x4 badge on the rear fender that the former didn’t.
