Launched in early 2016, the second generation Ford Endeavour is in for a midlife update. The flagship SUV from the American manufacturer has been spied on test, however, the test mule here is the pick-up variant which popular as the Ranger in international markets.
The test mule of the Endeavour wears a heavy camouflage. However we may expect a restyled exterior. The fascia is expected to be more aggressive than the current car on sale. The side profile is not likely to be worked upon much, but we can expect a new set of alloy wheels with fresh design. The rear bumper is expected to be the same raised and upswept unit, but with a newer design.
Power source is not likely to change and the new car will continue to be offered with the same engines and transmission. The 2.2-litre diesel engine mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox could be the choice of the masses. Whereas the four wheel drive variant will be exclusively offered with the in-line five cylinder 3.2-litre diesel mated to a six speed gearbox.
The updated Endeavour is expected to be launched in the international market early next year. It is expectec to hit the Indian market by late 2018. Once launched here, the updated Ford Endeavour will be on par with the new Toyota Fortuner, Isuzu MU-X and the Hyundai Santa Fe.
