New Ford Endeavour 2018 facelift (aka Ford Everest in ASEAN and some global markets) was recently revealed via official pictures. For the 2018 model year, the premium SUV will witness comprehensive design and styling changes along with a bunch of new features. Globally, the vehicle will get a brand new 2.-litre diesel engine making power close to 180bhp with 420Nm and 213bhp with 500Nm. For the Indian market, the SUV is likely to retain the current engine setup.
Some of its styling changes seem inspired by the larger SUVs such as the Explorer and Expedition, which are on sale in the North American market. Features such as revised front bumper, new headlamp inserts, new front grille and newly-designed 20-inch alloy wheels are the noticeable changes. Ford might also offer its new SYNC 3 infotainment system on the SUV. While the global-spec model will get autonomous emergency braking system and radar based cruise control, the India-spec version will be devoid of them.
