The front profile of the Force Shaktiman 400 has a tapered design for the bonnet, below which the 2.6-litre engine of the mini-truck sits. The tapered front bonnet ends up at a vertically-aligned front grille, which has two horizontal slats with the Force logo in the middle of them. The outer corners of this wide-looking front fascia have rounded headlamps with horizontal strips of turn indicators above them. The front bumper looks basic and simple with its all-black and no-frills design.
