In terms of features, new on the 2020 Ford Endeavour is the brand's all-new FordPass connectivity suite (which Ford announced will be offered on all its BS-VI compliant models) and new all-LED headlamps that have been housed in a redesigned headlight cluster. Further, the 2020 Endeavour will be available only in three colour options - Diamond White, Diffused Silver & Absolute Black (Sunset Red & Smoke Grey colour options discontinued).
With the erstwhile entry-level Titanium 4x2 MT variant discontinued for the 2020 model, the Endeavour is now available only in three automatic variants - Titanium 4x2, Titanium+ 4x2 & Titanium+ 4x4.
