Force One SUV was launched 7 years back with the notion to give a new and unique offering in the space. The maker of Traveller and Trax utility vehicle took a whole new approach in the segment to give ruggedness of a sports utility vehicle along with providing spaciousness and comfort of a passenger car. But the car so far hasn?t been up to the mark and one of the major reasons behind its failure in the country is the presence of strong competitors in the space in the form of Mahindra Scorpio and Tata Safari. And given how heated SUV space has become in past couple of years, rumours are afloat that the carmaker will be pulling the plug on this car soon. The problem is not with the car, but with the stiff competition it currently contests in. The car has powerful engine and scores well in certain areas including the equipment level. The delights include progressive cruise control, leather interiors, independent air conditioning for occupants on all three rows of seats, parking sensor and brake pad wear indicator. It also has 2-DIN music system with 4-speakers offering CD/MP3, USB, and Aux-in connectivity. However, the lackluster exterior and the stiff pricing have always been against in favour of this car. And top of it, weak brand and after-sales setup has compelled it to go into the abyss of ignorance. Today, customers are preferring established brands and this has forced the Force to rethink about the future of this SUV.

Exterior Exterior is decent looking and that?s a personal choice. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Only good part is space as it beats everything else here, but rest all is extremely poor and disappointing including various parts, finish, nut bolts everything. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Total disappointment, average fuel economy of around 10-11kmpl. Gear box is a disaster. Ride Quality & Handling Car is normally stable on road but at high speed at above 100-110 kmph it makes sounds and rattles like it'll blow apart, very noisy, shaky, makes squeaking noise from almost everywhere, very high vibrations, tiring.Final Words I have driven this vehicle for almost 33000 kms now in approx. 17 months. It?s nothing more than a science project by some engg students, that?s the best I can say. It has constant problems and I have spent more than 30 days at various intervals getting it repaired for 100 diff problems. Fuel tank is faulty and gives incorrect reading, console displaying various readings are mostly incorrect, and gear is horrible. Had worst experience in Ladakh where it won start in the morning at sub zero temperature and then I was told that it has no cold start kit (how stupid). Even in North temperature of around 1-3 degrees it takes it at least 20 kms of ride before engine starts rattling bad vibrating like crazy. All parts be it engine fans, AC, handles, locks, nut bolts, hinges, vipers, seats are v v v poor and have been changed or repaired. It actually sounds and behaves like a truck / bus with similar kind of sound, vibrations, gear and ride quality. I am surprised how could Govt. allow this vehicle on road as in my opinion it?s not safe and is dangerous due to various in built flaws. Even the dealers are sick and tired of the product and cannot do anything except for keep repairing it again and again. Coolant leakage is frequent. In less than 6 months the vehicle had started squeaking and making strange noises. Worst thing is that its resale after one year is not even 50% of the price paid to buy. Totally available and better go for Tata Safari or anything similar. This is the most poorly build vehicle in its category. Areas of improvement If you try to improve it you'll end up building a new car all together.

I had a Honda City and was planning to upgrade my car and this time I wanted to go for an SUV. My budget was around 12 lakh and in this price range, I found the Force one the best choice. I bought Force One recently and fell in love with its subtle and cool exteriors on the first glance. The car not only looks good but it is equally good at driveability as well, its 2.2-litre engine is very powerful and revs up easily. The ground clearance and rear wheel drive make it a real SUV. It comes loaded with superb features like progressive cruise control, independent air conditioning for occupants on all three rows of seats, leather interiors, parking sensor, brake pad wear indicator. The most impressive thing about the car is its mileage, the company claims a mileage of 17.0 kmpl but I am getting a decent mileage about 13kmpl. It is a bit low than claimed mileage but still, 13.0 kmpl is very good for an SUV.However, there are some features are missing like ABS, airbag etc which makes it a little unsafe compare to other cars. I recently read about its 4x4 version; however, it was not available when I bought it. To end up, I will say it is a worth buy for sure if you are thinking to buy it then go for it.

If you are you looking to purchase a powerful SUV at low cost then Force One would be the right choice. Yes! I have bought a Force One SUV recently and it is performing exceptionally well. However, there are few drawbacks associated with the car but that does not mean that the vehicle is a waste of money. This vehicle is powerful in its class as it is fitted with 2.2 litre 2200cc CRDI engine and mated with 5-speed manual transmission gearbox. I have bought this vehicle for a fairly reasonable amount of around Rs. 12.0 lakh.As soon as I bought the vehicle, I took my family for a long tour where I haven't encountered any issues with this SUV. Moreover, it is giving away a whopping mileage of about 13 Kmpl to 14 Kmpl, which is very good for a vehicle with a 2200cc engine. I didn?t expect that the vehicle would give away such a great mileage. Well, most of my friends stopped me from purchasing this vehicle but I have taken a brave move to purchase Force One, which proved me right. It satisfied my travelling needs with its exceptional performance and mileage. Moreover, it comes with a spacious interior and can accommodate 7 people comfortably. The only drawback associated with this vehicle is that its exterior looks. The company focused only on its engine specifications and neglected the exteriors and some of the features. This SUV has got some outstanding features such as power steering, power windows, air conditioner, music player, central locking, power door locks and much more. Considering the price tag, all the specifications and features are far more than worthy. It is a car that will definitely fulfil your travelling needs.
