Ford has been
working on next generation Endeavour for quite some time and some spy photos of
the vehicle testing in Thailand has been published on the net. The latest news
is that the new Endeavour will be unveiled on 14th of November 2014
and by next year the vehicle is expected to be launched in India as well.
The next
generation Ford Endeavour get a tough look styling as usual. The front grill
reminds us of the Ecosport, giving the vehicle a robust look which has been the
DNA of all Ford vehicles. The big wheel arches and massive tyres give more
upright stance to the SUV.
Ford will use
the same body-on-frame build and a seven seat layout on the new Endeavour. It
will get two engine options of 2.2L and 3.0 liter with 2 and 4 wheel drive
power trains.
Inside the
cabin are more sqarish design reminding us of the Range Rovers. The new
Endeavour ‘s 2 and 4 wheel drive system will be controlled by a button on the
dash board. Apart from regular features, the new Endeavour will get Ford Sync
system seen first in India on the Ecosport.
Ford has seen
good success with the Ecosport and will like to carry on with it in the
Endeavour as well. Though Endeavour has been a successful SUV in other parts of
the world, it has not been able to fight against the likes of Toyota Fortuner.
With modern styling and better fuel efficiency, the new Endeavour should do
some good to Ford in India.
