Ever since the news of 3.2L diesel engine being discontinued, hit the auto enthusiast. The turbocharged 2.0L engine with the updated Endeavour became the talk of the town, the enthusiasts and Ford fanboys were certainly not happy, and speculations of Ford planning to exit India started gaining pace.

As it turns out and is explained in a fair amount of detail by Gagan Choudhary in the review article of Endeavour 2020, the updated mill does just fine and it certainly does not feel as underpowered as many had expected it to. With the smaller engine, the fuel efficiency figures have improved for sure, at least on paper and that is an encouraging side to the smaller engine.

Pros

  • With a smaller engine, the fuel milking machine is expected to go a bit easy on the pocket with better efficiency returns.
  • The engine downsizing has also led to a reduction in the prices of the Endeavour as the update costs almost Rs 1.5 Lakhs cheaper than the outgoing Endeavour.
  • The Endeavour gets Ford Pass that provides car connected tech, helping the SUV in inching out its rivals.
  • The sophisticated 10-speed automatic gearbox is a big plus as it provides the convenience of shifting and locking gears in different speed ranges according to the need.
  • The engine feels more refined.

Cons

  • Despite costing a good fortune, it misses out on a feature as basic as telescopic steering adjustment, which is a big letdown, the steering only gets tilt adjustment.
  • There is no major feature addition over the outgoing Endeavour. Feature list remains more or less the same. Equipment like ventilated seats, heated ORVM, Heads-up display, the 360-degree camera should have been added taking the price point into consideration.
  • Though the 2.0 L engine manages to do decently well, it still does not matches up to the performance of the 3.2L engine.

Verdict

Like all the discussions concerning, conclusion revolves around the 2.0L turbocharged engine, with no disrespect to refinement and better efficiency that it brings along with itself, someone who has driven the 3.2L equipped Endeavour will feel the change.

If the updated Endeavour is the first time you will get your hands on the muscular SUV, you won’t feel a thing and the 2.0L engine will definitely not leave you disappointed. Add to which the fact that now it is more affordable. Overall, the updated Endeavour continues to impress.
