Ford Everest To Get 2.0L Bi-turbo & 3.0L V6 Diesel Engines in India

Ford Endeavour will return to India as the Ford Everest. While the carmaker hasn’t yet revealed its specific launch timeline, the SUV is reported to debut in 2025. Prior to its official unveiling, the engine specifications of the Ford Everest have been leaked on the web. As per the leaked information, the full-sized SUV will be offered with the 2.0L twin-turbo diesel and 3.0L V6 turbo diesel engine options.

The twin-turbo motor could be assembled locally at Ford’s Sanand facility in Gujarat. It’s likely to power the lower variants of the SUV. The more powerful, V6 unit will be imported from South Africa.
