                                                              2011  Force One

        

 the Force One is actually a rebadged  Guangdong Foday Explorer III.Force Motors imports the  panels and assembles the SUV at their plant in Madhya Pradesh.

The suspension and chassis was tweaked by Lotus, UK. Most of you would agree that, the Lotus Exige is one of the best handling sports cars and is known for its close to perfect cornering abilities. The SUV was also put to test in the UK after fine-tuning its chassis and suspension. Despite all of this, those who have tested the car in India feel that the Force One pitches disconcertingly under hard braking, which is something characteristic of softly sprung cars. That said, we will reserve our opinion on the handling and performance of the vehicle until we test it ourselves.

 

The  4×4 version of Force One will be here in 2012. It will also pack modern safety features like ABS and Airbags which the present 4×2 variant lacks. Now, the main rival for the Force One will be the Tata Safari and the Mahindra Scorpio. Mahindra offer all-wheel-drive and Airbags on their product for the same money. Tata Motors too is preparing a new model of the Tata Safari. Force Motors expect to sell 4000 units of the Force One in the First year, which seems quite a realistic target, but only time will tell how customers react to then new SUV
