Ford’s exit from the Indian market surprised everyone, especially the people who used to admire ruggedness and the American build quality a lot. Well, after almost a month, the brand is trying to make a comeback with a practical offering and therefore, customers in India are expected to see the Ford Endeavour as a CBU unit very soon. You heard that right! A CBU unit.

Of course, that will impact the pricing a lot but getting an option to buy it will definitely give a sigh of relief to the prospective customers. Want to learn more about the upcoming Ford Endy? Check out all the details related to it down below.

Upcoming Ford Endeavour: What to expect?

Starting with the most important point and that’s definitely – the pricing. To remember, the last recorded price of the Endeavour used to be somewhere around Rs.33.81 Lakhs to Rs.36.26 Lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). Now, if we talk about the imported model, the brand is expected to retail it somewhere around Rs.65 Lakhs (ex-showroom) and that’s definitely a huge difference.

Sources even suggest that Ford is yet to confirm the exact moniker they will be using for the imported version. Globally, the American brand sells it as Everest and therefore, this name can also be there on the upcoming SUV. In terms of design and interior, it will remain more or less the same.

Engine

Until now, Endeavour used to come with a 170PS, 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. However, if we talk about the upcoming CBU unit, it is expected to get a similarly displaced twin-turbo diesel motor that is truly capable of churning out a massive 213PS and 500Nm while being paired to a 10-speed automatic gearbox. For your information, this engine with the exact same configuration is already available in the global market.

Alternatives

In India, Ford Endeavour will continue its rivalry with Toyota Fortuner (Rs.30.72 Lakhs-Rs.42.33 Lakhs), MG Gloster (29.98 Lakhs-Rs.37.68 Lakhs) and Isuzu MU-X (Rs.33.23 Lakhs-Rs.35.19 Lakhs).

Just like Ford, Toyota has got some loyal fans and to be precise, most of them really love Fortuner. Powered by a 201BHP, 2.8-litre naturally aspirated diesel engine or a 170BHP, 2.7-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, it doesn’t feel underpowered at all. Feature-wise, the updated Fortuner comes loaded with ventilated seats, a wireless charger, 11-speaker JBL surround sound system and an electronic differential lock to name a few.
