The Endeavour will also come with a new touchscreen infotainment system with Sync 3 software and connectivity options include Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Mirror link. In the International market, Ford offers safety features like auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, which is expected to be introduced in India also along with six airbags, ABS and more.
