The next-gen Ford Endeavour is bound for the unveiling on March 1 and has already been officially teased. The full-size premium SUV has been a crowd favourite for a very long time alongside Toyota Fortuner. Ford has officially ended its manufacturing in India last year but continues to operate as a niche player through imports. This Endeavour is set to be introduced for the Australian market where it is called Everest. Let us check out the details of this model in depth.

Next-Gen Ford Endeavour Teased
The front end of the Endeavour/Everest is massive with a large chrome front grille, stylish LED headlamps, C-shaped LED DRLs, muscular bumpers befitting a large SUV. While official images are not out yet, the teaser highlights the sheer size of this premium SUV along with its design traits. The eloquent alloy wheels are visible in the video clip as well and the badge on the fender gives away what lies underneath that massive hood. Some official clips also indicate a massive panoramic sunroof and muscular appearance ready for taking on the off-road environments.
The interiors of Everest is quite premium as well. Since it has been converted from the pick-up truck version, there is a humungous amount of space in the cabin including a large legroom and boot compartment. The most prominent aspect is the portrait-styled massive touchscreen for the infotainment system along with Ford latest Sync 4.0 operating system, premium upholstery, soft-touch materials and plenty of modern equipment.

Specs
This SUV comes powered by a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel, 2.0-litre 4 cylinder turbo diesel or a 2.3-litre Ecoboost petrol engine for the Australian market with a 10-speed automatic gearbox powering all 4 wheels. In India, the Endeavour used to come with a 2.0-litre diesel engine making 175 PS of peak power and 420 Nm of peak torque. It came with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 drive system before discontinuation. It would be interesting to observe if Ford decides to bring in a version of Everest to India as the Endeavour since it was an extremely popular premium off-roading SUV here.
