Force Motors has always been a recognized
name in the Indian auto industry for its minibuses and utility vehicles. But,
it has also forayed in the SUV domain with its latest offering in the form of
One SUV. Force One pictures reveal that it is a massive SUV with having a
ground clearance of above 200mm in order to ensure ccompatibility with
uneven terrains. It comes with a total of 4 variants - EX, SX ABS 7-Seating, SX
ABS 6-Seating, LX 4x4. Going by the aforementioned variants, it can be said
with no two opinions that Force has given its entire variant lineup a lot
versatility in terms of seating system as well as drivetrain as it is available
in both 4X2 and 4X4 versions.
Force One price doesn't appear high on
pockets; given the impeccable performance and extra-ordinary features that it
carries with itself. It comes at a sticker price of Rs. 9.38 Lakhs while the
top-end variant LX 4X4 would cost around Rs. 14.01 Lakhs (Ex. Showroom, Delhi).
Under the hood, the SUV comes with two
different engine options as the base variant EX fulfils BSIV emission norms.
So, it in-houses a TD2650 FTI BS III, Direct Injection, Turbo Charged
Intercooler Engine which returns an impressive power output of 82PS at 3200rpm
and peak torque of 230Nm at 1800-2000rpm. It is paired with a G1 - 18 5-speed
manual transmission. On the other hand, the mid-level and top-end variants,
being BS IV compliant, don a TD 2200 FM Tech BS IV, DOHC, 16 Valve, Turbo
Charged Intercooler Common Rail Engine which belts out a massive power of 141PS
at 3800rpm and torque of 321Nm at 1600-2400rpm. It is coupled with a G-32/5,
Sychromesh with Dual Mass Fly Wheel based 5-speed manual transmission.
Force One features and specifications are
moderate and can't be termed entirely contemporary. As for comfort features, it
has Driver's seat height adjustment, 3rd Row Seat reclining and double folding
front facing seats, Leather upholstery, Progressive Cruise Control, All 3 row
Air-conditioning (HVAC) with Independent Controls on 1st & 2nd / 3rd Row
etc. to name a few. It is high on safety and security features too as it has
ABS + EBD, Remote Key Access, Driver Seat Belt Warning, Reverse Parking
Sensors, Door Open Warning & Display etc. to avoid any case of mishappening
or thievery of vehicle. Though, airbags are not introduced in the One SUV but
still the given features are acceptable.
