The Next-Gen Premium SUV for Australia will see the replacement of 3.2L Turbo Diesel Engine with 2.0L Twin-Turbo 4-cyl diesel engine producing 210 BHP and 500 NM of power and torque respectively.

India Launch
The Next-Gen Ford Endeavour will hit Australian Dealerships by early next year and is expected to reach Indian Shores as early as possible after the Australian Launch maybe by Mid-2022 as the Endeavour plays an enormous role in the Indian Market for Ford.
