Endeavour comes fitted with big mean looking tyres, side steps and roof rails to complete the off-road look. The SUV has its spare wheel mounted on the fifth door that also has an anti theft hard top cover. The dimensions are typical of an SUV and Endeavour could perhaps be one of the biggest cars plying on Indian roads at the moment. The rear end complements the front styling and is abundant silver and chrome furnishing on the tail lamp cluster and bumpers. However, the design language seems pretty basic in comparison with other models available in the segment, such as SsangYong Rexton, Toyota Fortuner, Honda CR-V, Pajero Sport and Hyundai Santa Fe. One might feel that Ford engineers could have added some extra elements in the mix for Endeavour.
Ford Endeavour is available in two engine options- one powered by a 2.5-litre diesel engine and the other fitted with a 3.0 liter diesel behemoth. The 2.5-litre engine model is rear-wheel-driven and the motor develops a competitive 141 bhp as peak power and a highest torque delivery of 330 Nm. The 3.0-litre diesel motor churns out a top power output of 154 bhp, and is available in All Wheel Drive (AWD) and 2 Wheel Drive (2WD) options. The stylish model is popular among SUV aficionados for being adept at both on-road and off-road manoeuvring skills. Despite being huge in size and bulky in nature, Endeavour possesses dynamic handling skills and is a driver’s delight, be it heavily pot-holed roads, vicious high rocky inclines, muddy terrains or river crossings.
Endeavour gets leather upholstery in all trims, which speak opulence of premium character and stunning looks at the same time. Tall driver and passengers can stretch their legs easily with capacious legroom space in the front and second row. The third row doesn’t offer much comfort and lacks space, but that is acceptable considering it is the third row! For optimum comfort of the passengers, there is ample air conditioning in all the three rows with controls mounted on both ceiling and AC vents. Speaking of the safety features, Ford Endeavour comes replete with several top-notch additions, such as ABS with EBD, front passenger airbags, dual airbags, passive anti-theft system (PATS), seat belts for occupants, child-proof rear door locks and a reverse parking sensor with camera. Further, the top-end trims get the cutting-edge integrated DVD system that comes equipped with touch-enabled satellite navigation system.
