I fully agree with jawa.:agree: you have said it very very true buddy.. force should work step by step and better launch something smaller with supreme quality first rather than investing on a thing which apparntly even before the launch looks like a total flop!

To me this is looking more like MUV. Hopefully like great alloys, we will have similar good looking exteriors, interiors and ofcourse a capable engine.

To me its looks like a replica of some GMC truck! So big man! However, please don't under estimate the capabilities of Force. Their engines are pretty good in terms of performance. So there is no worry on that side. But how practical is the the size? I am not sure.

Exactly Shynish, its bigger than Endy in images & looks like GMC atleast in size :)

I am sure with 220Bhp heart, This car from Force would really get some market share in Travels segment if priced rightly!

For any new manufacturers A.S.S is the toughest part to gain expertise.

Where as Force is not new to India!! So we can expect a better A.S.S than many new entrants.

Its all up to FORCE to take an edge over others with their existing profile.

re: Force "One" the 140 BHP SUV to launch in July

It seems, Force motors is doing good amount of home work for its upcoming SUV to ensure it doesnt leave back any bitter taste after the launch. As a result the launch of the mighty SUV has been delayed. Read this report from ACI:

Force Motors – the Pune based utility vehicle maker has pushed the launch date of its maiden SUV. The SUV will now debut in May as against the earlier date of March.
A source told Autocar India that the company has decided to extend the testing period of the vehicle to ensure there are no glitches when it hits the market. The new SUV will have no room for error as it will meet some formidable competitors like Mahindra’s Scorpio and Tata’s Safari.
Power will come from a brand new 2.2-litre engine which will be built under license from Daimler. This motor, however is getting a little tweaked to offer better fuel efficiency by scaling down its power output. Foreign consultants are working on minimizing NVH levels.
In an exclusive interview with Autocar India, Prasan Firodia, MD, Force Motors says “the powertrain technology being offered would be best in the segment. The SUV uses a C-in-C chassis that's been designed and developed in-house by Force Motors. We are very happy with the performance of our prototypes.”
Force Motors will build the SUV at its Pithampur plant. Around Rs 150crore has been invested in the project which will have an installed annual production capacity of 24,000 units. The company has set up a new vertical for R&D, manufacturing, marketing & sales of the new SUV. Force Motors is also making changes in its retail network for its new product.

Scorpio and Safari competitor? Then why do they need a 220BHP engine? They should scale it down to 150BHP and make it more fuel efficient.

Force has delayed the launch of their all new power packed SUV. The car was supposed to launch next month (March) but in order to make sure that there are no problems in the product, the company will be performing an extended testing session upto May.

Drive Safe,
