New-generation Ford Endeavour revealed
Ford is another foreign manufacturer that had to wrap up its business in India. Many factors contributed to the exit of Ford. But while it was in the market, it did make some popular cars like the Ikon, the EcoSport and the Endeavour. The Endeavour was its shining star in the full-size SUV segment, competing directly with the Toyota Fortuner. The Endeavour was a complete package with powerful engines and features on offer. Now, Ford has revealed the new-generation Endeavour called Everest for markets outside India. In today’s article, we will take a look at this new-generation Ford Endeavour in brief.
New-generation Ford Endeavour design
As expected, the Endeavour takes a lot of design cues from the Ranger pickup truck. At the front, it gets C-shaped LED DRLs with LED headlamps integrated into them. The grille is divided by a chrome strip running through the middle. Coming to the side profile, it is identical to the current model, but Ford has sharpened it to give it a more boxy look. At the rear, it gets inverted L-shaped tail lamps with a connected strip in the middle. Other exterior highlights include a muscular bonnet, upright pillars, roof rails and a panoramic sunroof.
Specifications
Ford is offering a lot of engine options on the new Endeavour. It will come with a 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel engine. Ford is also giving it a single turbo and bi-turbo diesel engines. The petrol engine is a 2.3-litre EcoBoost unit. Transmission options include a six-speed automatic and Ford’s 10-speed select shift automatic.
New-generation Ford Endeavour Features
Ford has loaded the Endeavour with a lot of comfort features. It comes with a 360-degree camera, a 12-inch infotainment system, connected car technology, etc. It also comes with safety features like a blind-spot information system, lane keep system, adaptive cruise control, active park assist and nine airbags.
Will it come to India?
Though Ford has wrapped up its manufacturing operations in India, it is open to bringing some of its global products to India. It will be bringing cars through the CBU route. The new generation is expected to be the first vehicle coming through the CBU route. As it will come through the CBU route, it will be much more expensive than the current model.
