Ford India organised its marquee ‘Great Ford Endeavour Drive’ for select customers and media in Kolkata on Saturday, March 23, to give a first-hand experience of the off-roading capabilities of the recently launched New Ford Endeavour.
The experiential drive, set amidst natural terrain on the outskirts of Kolkata, simulated challenging off-roading conditions including – sharp turns, steep hill climbs, hill descent, wading through slush, uneven surfaces, driving at high-degree tilt among many others. In the due course of this off-roading experience we got a clear insight about the Endeavour’s steering feedback, suspension, wheel articulation, differential lock system and water wading capabilities. With gentle throttle and brake inputs, the Endeavour managed to complete the off-roading course on stock tyres like a walk in the park.
With ex-showroom prices starting Rs 28.19 lakhs, the 2019 edition of the Endeavour comes with greater road presence, style and convenience while continuing to offer impressive off-road capabilities, safety and technologies.
The New Ford Endeavour will give customers an option to choose from Ford’s two, diesel engines — 2.2-litre four-cylinder TDCi and 3.2-litre five-cylinder TDCi.
The 2.2-litre four cylinder TDCi engine will now be paired to a six-speed manual transmission as well along with automatic. With the new manual transmission, the 2.2-litre engine will deliver an ARAI-ratified fuel economy of 14.2 kmpl. The Endeavour automatic will continue delivering a fuel economy of 12.62 kmpl as per ARAI.
Those looking for optimum fuel economy without compromising performance can choose the 2.2-litre diesel motor that puts out 160 PS of power and 385 Nm of torque. For those desiring greater performance, Ford continues to offer its 3.2- diesel engine that generates 200 PS of power and 470 Nm of torque. This engine has been tuned to deliver maximum power and torque and is perfect for frequent off-road adventures.
With a simplified variant lineup, the New Endeavour is now available in three-trims – 2.2-litre Titanium Manual, 2.2-litre Titanium+ Automatic and 3.2-litre Titanium+ Automatic.
