The Ford Everest Ambiente variant (base model) in Indonesia comes with a 2.2-litre engine mated to a 6-manual gearbox that drives the 4WD system. It is believed that this very specification is on test.

The model believed on test is a 2.2L variant with 4WD and a 6-speed manual gearbox.

In India, the new Endeavour has been anticipated by the media to come equipped with a 4WD system only along with a 3.2-litre engine, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This sighting suggests that Ford India will offer it with the 2.2-litre motor, which would make 4WD more accessible.

The other variants expected to be sold are a 4x2 model with 2.2-litre engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, and the same with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Features found on the test vehicle are consistent with what's available in the international model, including the projector headlamps, LED taillights, 18-inch wheels and other styling appliqués on the exterior.

If the tested variant is sold, it would mean that Ford India is making 4WD more accessible from the price perspective.
