The 2020 Ford Endeavour has been launched
in India for a starting price of INR 29.55 lakh*. The biggest improvements in
the new mid-size SUV are the BS-VI 2.0L EcoDiesel engine and the 10-speed
automatic transmission.
The BS-VI 2.0-litre EcoDiesel engine
powering the 2020 Ford Endeavour belongs to the Panther engine family. It’s
made in single-turbo and twin-turbo versions, but India is getting only the
former, as the latter is very costly. The single-turbo version has been tuned
to produce 170 PS peak power and 420 Nm peak torque.
The 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder
and 3.2-litre turbocharged five-cylinder BS-IV diesel engine engines have been
discontinued. The BS-VI 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine
offers a 20% improvement in low-end torque over the former. Also, it is more
refined and quieter with a 4-decibel reduction in idle noise. It offers a 20%
improvement in low-end torque.
The new Ford Endeavour is the only
mid-size SUV in India to be offered with a 10-speed automatic transmission,
which delivers faster and smoother acceleration response. The fuel economy
rating of the BS-VI version is 13.9 km/l (2WD)/12.4 km/l (4WD). The BS-VI
version offers up to 14% improvement in fuel efficiency.
The Ford Endeavour has gained all-LED headlamps with the MY2020
update. The all-LED headlamps are encased in an all-new square lamp cluster and
provide up to 20% lighting penetration for improved night-time visibility. They
replace the HID headlamps, which were standard previously.
The 2020 Ford Endeavour’s prices range
from INR 29.55-33.25 lakh*. These prices are effective only until 30 April
2020. Post the introductory period, on 1 May 2020, there will be a price hike
of INR 70,000. Only customers booking their vehicle until 30 April 2020 will
benefit from the current prices. The new model is available in Diamond White,
Absolute Black and Diffused Silver colours now. The old model was offered in
Moondust Silver and Sunset Red colours as well.
