New Force Gurkha interior, features revealed

The launch of the updated Force Gurkha, which is coming in 3-door and 5-door form, is imminent, and the brand has released another teaser confirming what the interior will look like, and a number of features that will be on offer. While the teaser only show the Gurkha 5-door, the 3-door version is highly likely to get the same level of kit.
