The 3.2 AT 4*4 Titanium gets all the bells & whistles on offer. Manual transmission is only available on the 2.2 base Trend variant and can be had with either 4x2 or a 4x4 option.

All new Endeavour brings with a few first in class features like Shift-Fly Terrain Management System (like the Range Rover) featuring four modes - Sand, Mud&Snow, Rock and normal, with a low-ratio selection as well. It also has seven airbags (Driver knee airbag being the seventh), Semi- Auto Parallel Park Assist which is similar the system found on higher end models like the Volvo XC90.

Electric boot lid and electric folding 3^rd row of seats and an electric panoramic sun roof are other segment first features on offer on the new Ford Endeavour.

If Ford manages to price the Endeavour right, hopefully undercuts the Fortuner at least on the 2.2 liter 4x2 base variant. Fingers crossed, come on Ford!

Doesn't it LOOK gorgeous? I would have gone for a blacked out grill! But definitely got acres of road presence.

Well crafted dash which houses a 7-inch infotainment system which comes with Ford Sync 3 interface. Look at the number of buttons on the steering wheel!
