Ford brings out Endevour Thunder+ with 3.0L 16 valve TDCi, the Big guy’s here
Ford, though a bit late, released its new 3 litre Endeavour Thunder kitted with 16 valve TDCi (turbo diesel common rail injection) diesel engine. Its probably a kick back for the new launch of Chevrolet Captiva, which even though has a bumpy ride has a nice diesel engine under its hood.
New Features
The new SUV delivers unmatched power, best-in-class torque, cleaner tailpipe emissions and excellent fuel efficiency. The result is a comfortable and premium 4×4 SUV ready to overcome the challenges of India’s demanding conditions.
Endeavour’s advanced version provides the SUV owner with a vehicle of class-leading ability on-road and off-road. It is equipped with safety technologies like anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) system to assist the driver during high-demand situations.
Additional features. Besides dual front airbags, the additional safety features include increased diameter of the shock absorbers for better control and handling in all driving conditions, repairable breakaway front bumper system that minimises collision impact and maximises safety. The SUV also has an engine immobiliser and an anti-theft alarm ensuring complete vehicle security.
