Ford adds to popular Endeavour SUV range with new variant

Ford India today unveiled the Ford Endeavour 3.0-litre 4x2 automatic (AT), the newest addition to its Endeavour premium sports utility vehicle (SUV) range.

Michael Boneham, president and managing director, Ford India, said, ''Building on the strong Endeavour sales this year, and the overwhelming response to the automatic transmission launched last year, we are confident that the Ford Endeavour 4x2 AT will be a popular and well received addition to our product line-up.''

Priced at Rs17.89 lakh, the Endeavour 4x2 AT is powered by a 3.0-litre, 156 PS DuraTorq TDCi (common-rail) powertrain with the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) that delivers class-leading fuel efficiency of 10.7 kpl (ARAI).

Its 5-speed automatic gearbox, with the overdrive switch on the shift lever delivers a highly responsive drive that complements the torque performance at 380 NM at 2500 rpm.

The new Endeavour's aesthetic appeal is augmented with illuminated scuff plates, a titanium-finished instrument panel, sports pedals and a stylish side body cladding.

It features ergonomically designed leather upholstered seats, a 6-CD changer music system, DVD player and an environmentally-friendly dual air conditioner with personalised air conditioning vents for the second and third rows.
