The new Force One SX packs a 2.2-litre common rail, 16 valves and a turbo-charged diesel engine which churns out a power of 141Ps. It comes with features like ABS, Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), progressive cruise control, steering mounted audio controls, reverse parking sensors and leather seats.
The company has managed to sell over 2,600 units of Force One so far since its launch in the country and aims to sell nearly 2,000 units in the current fiscal. It also hopes to sell 5,000 units of Force One in 2014-15. "We expect the sales to pick up due to our attractive price points, number of offerings and a growing rural market. We expect the sales to grow by 2,000 more vehicles," Firodia said.
