Ford Plans Everest SUV Comeback with Powerful 3.0 V6 Diesel Engine in India

Ford is assessing the introduction of its powerful 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine into the Everest SUV (formerly known as the Endeavour) as part of its potential return to the Indian market. While the exact timeline for Ford’s re-entry remains uncertain, the inclusion of this larger engine could significantly enhance the appeal of the Everest, aligning with a likely premium price point.

Power and Performance: The 3.0 V6 Diesel

The 3.0 V6 diesel engine, a robust powertrain producing 250hp at 3,250rpm and an impressive 600Nm of torque between 1,750-2,250rpm, is a centerpiece of Ford’s global lineup. Known as the ‘Lion’ engine, this unit is manufactured at Ford’s Struandale Engine Plant in South Africa, where both inline and V-type engines are uniquely produced. The engine’s design includes a large variable nozzle turbo, dual overhead camshafts, and a forged-steel crankshaft, ensuring durability and performance. It even features an engine block heater for efficient operation in extreme cold conditions.

In international markets, the 3.0 V6 powers vehicles like the Ranger pickup and the iconic F-150 in the U.S., showcasing its versatility. In Australia, the engine has found success in the Everest SUV, often utilized for towing heavy loads such as boats. While towing capacity may not be a key factor for the Indian market, the engine’s high torque and smooth power delivery could elevate the Everest’s driving experience.

Production and Assembly Plans

Ford plans to assemble the Everest in India, likely sourcing the smaller 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel engine from its facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This plant currently produces the 2.0 diesel for export markets. The addition of the 3.0 V6 diesel to the Everest’s lineup would allow Ford to offer a wider range of options to Indian consumers, reminiscent of the strategy it employed successfully with earlier models featuring four- and five-cylinder diesel engines. Notably, the five-cylinder diesel has since been retired, making way for the more powerful and refined V6.

Comeback

Ford recently announced that its Chennai plant would resume production for export purposes, and it is reportedly evaluating options to introduce fully built units (CBUs) and locally produced electric vehicles in India. While an official announcement on the Everest’s launch remains pending, the introduction of the 3.0 V6 diesel is likely to position the SUV as a premium offering in the Indian market, combining power, refinement, and a touch of exclusivity.

The move could mark Ford’s renewed commitment to India, leveraging the Everest’s global reputation for ruggedness and performance. The larger engine option would cater to enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, feature-rich SUV, potentially setting the stage for a successful comeback in one of the world’s most competitive automotive markets.
