Top 5 Reasons to buy the New Ford Endeavour

American car making giant Ford launched their all new Endeavour yesterday, with prices starting from INR 24.75 lakhs (ex-showroom, Mumbai). This new version is a total departure from its predecessor, be it in looks, features or almost anything else. In this article, we give you top 5 reasons to buy this big SUV.

1. Power: Depending on how much of it you want, you can either choose a 2.2 litre, 4 cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine that produces 158 bhp or a larger 3.2 litre, 5 cylinder, turbocharged engine that delivers 197 bhp. You also get to choose between front wheel drive, all wheel drive and 6 speed manual/automatic transmissions.

2. Driving dynamics: The Endeavour has been designed to be a proper off-roading vehicle. Thanks to its massive 18 inch wheels and its high ground clearance of 225mm, this SUV can wade through water that is 800mm in depth. Apart from that, the driver can also put the Endeavour into normal, snow/mud, sand or rock mode using the Terrain Management system.

3. Gadgets: The Endeavour is stuffed full of toys. You get the Sync 2 system with voice control, an electrically operated tailgate and 3rd row of seats, electronically locking differentials, low range, a touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof, ambient interior illumination, cruise control, a multi information display; and the coolest feature of all: the semi automatic parallel park assist.

4. Safety: This is undoubtedly a very important parameter and, as a result, Ford provides a cocoon of safety for the occupants of an Endeavour in the form of 7 airbags, lectronic stability program (ESP), traction control, ABS with EBD, a rear view camera, an engine immobiliser, emergency assist, hill launch assist and hill descent control, Ford MyKey, rain sensing wipers and tyre pressure monitoring, amongst others.

5. Silence! : We mean that quite literally. The new Ford Endeavour has the quietest passenger cabin of any vehicle in its class. This is all down to the active noise cancellation feature which uses 3 sensitive microphones to detect engine noise penetrating the cabin and plays opposing sound waves to cancel out the noise.
