Are you in the market for a spacious family vehicle that can comfortably accommodate everyone, yet stay within a reasonable budget? At MotorMahal, we know how crucial it is to find a vehicle that meets these criteria, and in today’s review, we are looking at the Force Urbania Plus – a unique contender in the family vehicle segment priced under 31 lakhs. Let’s see why this vehicle could be your next go-to family ride.
Overview of Force Urbania Plus
The Force Urbania Plus is an eye-catching vehicle that might easily be confused for a commercial van at first glance. However, it offers something different and unique for large families. The Urbania Plus has been designed with practicality and customization in mind. It can comfortably seat up to 9 passengers plus a driver – that’s 10 members of the family!
What makes Force Urbania Plus unique is that unlike a typical commercial vehicle, it can also be registered privately, thanks to its monocoque chassis, which helps it drive and feel more like a car. While it initially resembles a commercial van, you can actually make the ride quite luxurious with a few personal customizations. Let’s dig deeper into its features.
Exterior & Styling
Aerodynamics meets function – that’s the best way to describe the exterior of the Force Urbania Plus. The vehicle is designed to hide its sheer size with aerodynamic styling that could easily trick you into thinking it’s smaller. Only when you stand close to it do you truly grasp its impressive dimensions: roughly 18 feet in length, 8 feet in height, and 7 feet in width. Despite its size, it pulls off being sleek and stylish rather than boxy or outdated.
The Urbania also comes with premium elements like LED daytime running lights (DRL), LED indicators, projector headlamps, and fog lamps for those darker roads. Keep in mind though, the review suggests upgrading the headlamps if you plan on night driving.
Customizing the Force Urbania Plus
A standout selling point of the Urbania Plus is the ability to customize the interior to fit your family’s needs. Whether it’s adding more plush seats, more air conditioning vents, or even upgrading the entertainment system, the possibilities are endless. When fully customized, this ride can match the comfort of an MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) but at a much more budget-friendly price.
Additionally, the 16-inch wheels come fitted with disc brakes on all four wheels, ensuring better control and safety on the road. Why not also consider adding black tints to the windows or switching to black wheels for a sportier vibe?
Comfort and Space for Large Families
Space – lots of it. The Force Urbania Plus comes in multiple variants including a short wheelbase, a medium wheelbase, and others. If your concern is luggage space, the short wheelbase variant may not have copious luggage room behind the last row of seats. However, you can still stash small bags under the seats or install a luggage rack.
For families seeking more space, opting for the medium wheelbase variant makes a lot more sense. The medium wheelbase Urbania leaves the last row free for a significant amount of luggage. This way, you can load up everything from picnic baskets to carry-on suitcases without worrying about space constraints.
And in terms of getting in and out of the Urbania Plus, Force has taken care of that too. The easy-slide side door with a low step and grab rails ensures easy access even for all age groups.
Driving Experience
One of the biggest advantages of the Force Urbania is its car-like driving experience. Being built on a monocoque chassis, it handles much more smoothly than traditional large vans. This means you won’t need a special commercial license to drive it, making it much more accessible for the average family driver.
Whether you’re heading out for a weekend family get-together or taking that long road trip for the holidays, driving the Urbania feels comfortable and responsive. The ample visibility and solid suspension system only add to that comfort, making the journey less tiring, even when you’re covering long distances.
The Price Point – An Unbeatable Value for Big Families
The Force Urbania Plus is priced attractively at under 31 Lakhs, especially when you compare it to other large MPVs or Transporters in the market at higher price points. This price includes a whole lot of vehicle for the money – ample seating space for 10, decent driving comforts, and the ability to customize a versatile vehicle to personal tastes.
Plus, if you opt for the medium-wheelbase variant, you’re only looking at a modest Rs. 3-3.5 lakh extra cost, making it a worthy investment if you want the added storage capacity for your large family.
Final Verdict
The Force Urbania Plus is definitely an underrated gem in the family vehicle space. While initially appearing like a commercial van, there’s so much potential for customization to suit a large family’s needs. As the largest family vehicle under 31 lakhs, it offers unbeatable space, utility, and comfort for a fraction of what other MPVs in the segment cost. If you often find yourself struggling with space, this could be the perfect ride for your family adventures.
Would we recommend it? Absolutely – especially for those who want a flexible, spacious, and customizable vehicle without breaking the bank.
