Thailand: Ford Everest (Endeavour) facelift spied undisguised

An undisguised test mule of the Ford Endeavour facelift has been spied in Thailand. The spy image suggests that the Endeavour - sold as the Everest in Thailand - is likely to get minor exterior tweaks as part of a mid-cycle refresh.

According to the spy image, the Endeavour facelift is expected to get a redesigned 3-slat grille finished in chrome and a slightly tweaked lower bumper. The chrome ORVM housings have been redesigned while the chrome door handles and chrome fender vents have been retained. The test mule can be seen sporting new design 6-spoke alloy wheels finished in black. Also, note that the test mule has 4 parking sensors in the front unlike the Endeavour currently sold in India that has a total of 6 front parking sensors. 

Meanwhile, the new Endeavour is likely to get the same interiors as the current model. Also, the same powertrains will be carried over on to the facelift. At present, Ford offers a 2.2-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that produces 158 BHP @ 3,200 rpm and 385 Nm of torque @ 1,600-2,500 rpm as well as a 3.2-litre, diesel with 197 BHP @ 3,000 rpm and 470 Nm @ 1,750-2,500 rpm. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard on all variants while 4-wheel drive is available on the top-spec Titanium trim with the 3.2-litre engine.

Ford India hasn't announced the Endeavour facelift yet but it is rumoured to be launched later this year.
