In China, the Ford Endeavour now gets a new 2.3 Litre turbo petrol engine along with the same 2.0 litre diesel engine in the India-spec version.
Ford Endeavour is one of the meanest and toughest SUVs that we have in India. It is very popular in most of the markets that it is sold including Europe, China, South Africa and Australia. For the Chinese market, it now gets a new 2.3 Litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine replacing the earlier 2.0 Litre unit.
The new turbo petrol engine produces 275 PS and 455 Nm of peak torque, while mated to a new 10-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The earlier 2.0 Litre turbo petrol unit was good for 240 PS and 360 Nm of peak torque, now seeing a 35 PS and 95 Nm of torque increase. Both the engines come from the same Ecoboost family.

Interestingly, the same engine is offered on the base-spec trims of Ford Mustang, internationally. So Endeavour actually gets a engine that we see on the legendary Ford Mustang. However, this engine is definitely not coming to the Indian markets anytime soon. The India-spec Endeavour will continue with its new 2.0 Litre diesel engine.
For the Chinese markets, both the engines come with the option of rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD). In India, we get the 4WD option on the top-end trim only. The base two variants come with front-wheel drive as standard. Most of the features and styling elements for India-spec and China-spec Endy remain the same.
Features onboard include panoramic sunroof, semi-auto parallel park assist, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic headlamps, automatic rain sensing wipers, electrically adjustable driver’s seat and much more. Safety features include 7 airbags, active terrain management system, Hill Descent Control 4X4 and Anti Rollover Control.
