Everyone knows that there are only two cars that lead the full size SUV car market in India;the Toyota Fortuner , which is one of the best selling cars in India of all time , and the Ford Endevour , which everyone knows is better in every way than the Fortuner but still doesn’t sell more than it’s Japanese rival.The standard Endeavour is a great car to drive , to take offroad and to carry your family on long journeys , but there is a new car which is Rs65,000 more expensive than the normal Endeavour called the Endeavour Sport.No,it is not better to drive,it does not have more power than the standard car and it does not have anything new other than the new 10 speed automatic gearbox which is also carried over from the recently revised Endeavour 2.0.The endeavour sport definitely looks better to look at than the normal car because all the chrome on the car has been replaced with blacked out elements.Rest,it is entirely the same with the engine from the recent Endeavour that had a 2.0 litre diesel engine with 167 bhp and 420 NM of torque.The diamond cut alloy wheels have also been replaced with black alloy that looks dapper with the all black footstep and the car.The interior is the same except the new gear lever which has a gimmicky thumb control for changing gears.I don’t know if that’s innovative or going against the traditional method of changing gears with pushing or pulling the gear lever or changing gears with the paddle shifter but it’s definitely wierd.The new Sport is a very comfy car which like every single one of it’s predecessors always has been.Tech is also class leading with it’s idiotproof infotainment system.On the inside the Endeavour has one of the best interiors i have ever seen in a car of this price tag with leather lined seats.The middle row is also not a bad place to be.The seats are cushioned enough and the underthigh support is also good.The build quality is way way better than the fortuner.3rd row is still in no way better than the Fortuner because an adult would simply won’t be able to fit in the 3rd row.The boot is of a considerable size with or without all the seats folded.The electric tailgate is faster than the Fortuner’s and the Sport also has foot sensor just in case your hands are full with groceries and you can’t open the boot with your hands.The seats in the 3rd row are electrically operated which is a feature not even a 1.5 crore Land Cruiser has.Connectivity in the 3rd row is also not a problem because there are 2 12 volt sockets at the very last.Sport also has a class leading feature called Auto park which the Fortuner,the Gloster and the Mahindra alturas G4 don’t have.The best thing is the sunroof which is a non-cost option in the Endeavour and a feature that the Fortuner,when launched back in 2009 didn’t have and still doesn’t have.My final verdict is that just buy the Endeavour,it’s way better than any of it’s rivals.
