Ford Endeavour Sport Teased; Launch Soon

The Endeavour Sport features a blacked-out front grille and bumper element. On the side, it gets blacked-out alloys, black ORVMs and ‘SPORT’ decal on the lower part of the rear doors. A similar treatment can be seen at the back as well where it gets a blacked-out trim element connecting the tail lamps along with some black finish on the bumper and a ‘SPORT’ insignia on the tailgate. 

The changes on the Endeavour Sport are expected to be limited to the exterior only as it is likely to get the same dual-tone interior like the one seen on the standard Endeavour. Similarly, the equipment list is also likely to remain unchanged with features like a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, TCS, front and rear parking sensors, hill launch and descent control, powered front seats, LED headlamps and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Under the hood, the Endeavour Sport should get the same 2.0-litre diesel engine as the standard SUV. This engine makes 170PS of maximum power and 420Nm of peak torque and is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford is expected to offer the Endeavour Sport with both 2WD and 4WD options. 

On the whole, the Endeavour Sport seems like a cosmetic job, similar to what Toyota has done with the Fortuner TRD LE.

The Ford Endeavour Sport is expected to be priced at a premium of about Rs 30,000 over the Titanium+ variant, which retails at Rs 32.75 lakh and Rs 34.45 lakh for the 4X2 and 4X4 versions, respectively. The base-spec Endeavour Titanium 4X2 is priced at Rs 29.99 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). Once launched, it will take on the likes of the Toyota Fortuner TRD LE along with other SUVs like the Isuzu mu-X and the Mahindra Alturas G4.
