The Ford Endeavor Sport variant has again been spotted at a dealership stockyard, thus hinting at the imminent launch of this new variant of the Endeavor. The Sport variant essentially gets some cosmetic makeover with blacked-out elements.
A few days ago, we reported to you with spy images of the Ford Endeavor Sport variant as it was caught testing in India. Now, a few more images of the Endeavor Sport variant has emerged from a dealership stockyard, thuss hinting at the imminent launch of this new variant of the Endeavor. The Ford Endeavor Sport variant essentially gets a cosmetic makeover over the standard SUV and it is in fact already on sale in markets like Australia.
Ford is bringing this special variant of the Endeavor to India as an answer to the recently launched Toyota Fortuner TRD that gets a similar treatment. As the name already suggests, the Endeavor Sport gets some distinguishing ‘sporty’ touches, both on the inside and outside. All the chrome and silver trims on the exterior of the SUV are finished in a stealthier black shade and alloy wheels too come finished in black and even sport a new design. In the earlier spy images, we had only seen the rear and side profile of this new variant but these new images also give us a look of the face of the SUV.
The Endeavor Sport variant gets an all-black grille with a new honey-comb design in place of the chrome-slatted design on the standard SUV. The lower bumper has also been blacked out, as have been the insides of the headlamps. There are also few ‘Sport’ badges on the exterior of the car – one of the tail gate and then two more as decals over the rear door. Ford could offer the Endeavor Sport variant in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The spotted test mule seems to be a RWD variant as the 4WD badge is missing from the tail gate.

The interiors of the Endeavor Sport will likely be of the same design as the standard SUV, although there could be a few more of those ‘Sport’ badges thrown in here and there. Obviously, we expect the interiors to boast of an all-black upholstery to keep in line with the ‘Sport’ tag. We expect the features list to be identical to the standard SUV as well. Some of the highlight features include Ford’s Sync-3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, powered front seats, and off-road modes.

Under the hood, the Endeavor Sport could continue with the 2.0L turbo-diesel engine from the standard SUV that produces 168hp and 420Nm of torque. The engine will come mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. When launched, the Ford Endeavor Sport could be priced similarly or slightly above the top-spec Titanium+ 4×4 AT variant (Rs 34.45 lakh). While its meant to be a direct rival to the Toyota Fortuner TRD, we will admit that the updates are not as comprehensive as on the latter. Meanwhile Ford has also started working on the next-gen of the Endeavor SUV.
