A few days ago we had showed you the spy pictures of the big SUV Force Motors is readying for India. The test mule was caught on test by our friends at Velocitimag. As we had mentioned in the post, ever since we saw the car, we were wondering how Force Motors managed to develop such a huge SUV in such a short span of time. It was almost like springing a surprise on an industry where development of even the smallest car takes years of planning, research and development – and the news and rumors about these cars clutter the webspace much before the real thing emerges on a road.
We put on our thinking cap and tried to find out if there was a foreign connection to this new machine, as it was really difficult for us to believe that Force Motors had developed this huge SUV indigenously all by their own. After groping in the dark for a while, we stumbled upon a little known Chinese car maker known as Guangdong Foday.
There is an SUV called Explorer in the carmaker’s model list whose dimensions and shape match exactly with the SUV that was caught on test. Quite clearly, this means that Force Motors are developing their new SUV for India in collaboration with Guangdong Foday, and the vehicle caught on test was none other than the Explorer.
