 FORD ENDEAVOUR - Equipment & Interiors

 
Nice kit but have seen better in its sibling!
First and foremost the cabin is long and narrow as the Endeavour mirrors the outside inside. Shoulder space for the 2nd row of passengers is 1470mm, about 100mm less than some other comparable SUVs. Theatre like seating sounds good in theory but if it means that the third row of seats is on the floor, then I am not for it. So despite it huge size the Endeavour can seat only four adults absolutely comfortably and seven in a crunch. Or else one can remove the third row seat completely liberating luggage space and still providing seating for five. Once that has been figured out, I must say that the cabin is filled with good ideas many of which are extremely utilitarian and practical. Cup holders for all the seven passengers, air conditioning for all three rows of seats, place for stashing away mobile phones in pockets on the front seat backs, two separate holders for sunglasses etc.

That said the interiors are a slight let down, specially after what we had seen in the cars in Thailand. The wood panelling and inserts have been replaced by silver finish ones and the steering wheel and the gear knobs have both lost their precious woods. The silver finish that has replaced the wooden one on the central console does not have the same class. The air con control panel and the music system both look like lifts from the Ikon and even though Ford India might be waiting to offer the wooden finish trims in a later variant, it has lost much of the luxury image that it was trying to attach to the Endeavour right from day one. The Endeavour comes with decent levels of equipment. ABS is standard as are airbags for the front passenger and the driver. Besides there is a host of small things like central locking, power mirrors, fog lamps and the like.
