The global launch during mid-November, but will it be launched in India at same time is still a speculation.

Build & Quality

Design: The new Endeavour is a fresh car which is indeed built from scratch. Everything internally & externally is new viz. design, platform or be interiors. The overall design is more profound compared to the bullish looking ongoing model, thanks to its Everest concept, while interiors styling is inspired from the 2015 F-150 pickup. The SUV will come loaded with SYNC2 infotainment system with touchscreen unit, App-Link smartphone integration and Emergency assistance.

Engine: 2.2 litre 4-cylinder and a 3.2 litre 5-cylinder TDCI engine will power this beast. The engine has been lent from Ford Ranger and Ford engineers have re-engineered, refined and tuned it for better efficiency, power and drivability.

The current Endeavour model in India does not come with above mentioned engine line however buzz is that Ford India could recuperate the engine line-up this time to at least 2.5 litre TDCI unit.

Transmission:  A six-speed manual box will replace 5-speed manual unit in the predecessor SUV. One can expect an automatic variant of this SUV as well as current model also has it.

General Observation & Verdict

Endeavour is loved by all. The only concern about this model is the fuel efficiency as the former model was known as Diesel Guzzling machine. We hope Ford engineers should work on this aspect and with rising fuel costs in India, the Indians are smartly going for fuel efficient car for which they are ready to pay a bit of premium as well.
