What Happened

Force Motors Limited, India's largest van manufacturer, has launched the New Urbania Deluxe, a premium upgrade to its shared mobility platform. The vehicle introduces a more powerful 100 kW (134 HP) Mercedes-derived 2.6-liter turbo diesel engine producing 350 Nm of torque, alongside a comprehensively refreshed interior with leatherette seats, wood-finish flooring, and an 8-speaker Digital Theatre System. The new Urbania Deluxe will replace the current Urbania as Force Motors' standard offering in the premium shared mobility segment.

Key New Features
  • Powerful 100 kW Mercedes-derived diesel engine for improved pickup and performance
  • Premium interior with leatherette seats, matching upholstery, and wood-finish flooring
  • Car-like 3-point seat belts for every passenger, plus driver and co-driver airbags
  • TFT instrument cluster and 23 cm HD touchscreen infotainment with smartphone connectivity
  • Power sliding footstep and new 16-inch alloy wheels for enhanced comfort and style
  • 8-speaker Digital Theatre System (DTS) for immersive entertainment
With Urbania, we redefined premium shared passenger mobility in India and created an entirely new segment that has found strong acceptance both in India and across international markets. With the introduction of the new Urbania Deluxe, we are taking this platform to the next level with enhanced performance, premium features and advanced technology to meet the evolving expectations of our customers
Mr. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors Limited
Warranty and Support

5 years / 5 lakh km

Comprehensive coverage including i-Pulse telematics, 3-year sensor warranty, and 3 years of roadside assistance.

Safety remains a core focus, with all-wheel disc brakes, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and Engine Drag Torque Control (ETDC) as standard. The new Urbania Deluxe will be available in three wheelbases and eight seating layouts from 9+D to 16+D configurations, with prices starting at ₹28.7 lakh (ex-showroom). Backed by Force Care, it aims to provide peace of mind throughout ownership.

Previously from Force Motors

Force Motors recently achieved a milestone by producing its 200,000th engine for Mercedes-Benz at its Chakan facility, underscoring its strong partnership with the German automaker. In June 2026, the company also signed an MoU with India's Ministry of Road Transport to support the replacement of older BS-IV commercial vehicles in Delhi-NCR with cleaner models, potentially benefiting the Urbania range.

Why this matters

The New Urbania Deluxe raises the benchmark for premium shared mobility in India, offering fleet operators a more comfortable and safer vehicle for passengers. This could influence purchasing decisions in the growing shared mobility market and strengthen Force Motors' position against competitors.
