Went ok but fuel economy was 10.5l per100 which I thought should be like 8L due to highway driving, we had a ecobosst mustang for a week at start(could fit baggage) and that was on 9L |

Here's what Ford have announced for the Endura over the ditch: from ford.co.nz
Upscale your drive with the new Ford Endura ST-Line 14/11/17 | Auckland Ford introduces premium, 5-seat SUV to New Zealand with twin-turbo performance diesel and Euro VI emissions standards Limited number of the new Ford Endura ST-Line to arrive in May 2018 RRP: $73,990 AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, 14 November 2017 – Ford New Zealand today announced the new Ford Endura ST-Line, a smart, premium SUV, will go on sale across the country for the first time in May 2018. Ford New Zealand will be launching the Ford Endura, known as the Ford Edge in other markets, in the premium sports-oriented ST-Line variant only. The Ford Endura ST-Line features an enhanced design with distinctive alloys, body-styling kit, unique badging, upgraded sports suspension and a twin-turbo performance diesel 2.0-litre engine with Euro VI compliant emissions standard. “The Endura ST-Line will be a real stand out offering in what is a fiercely competitive market,” said Simon Rutherford, Managing Director Ford New Zealand. “While SUVs continue to grow in popularity, the capability, design and technology that comes with the ST-Line gives the Endura an edge over its competitors and is a fantastic way for Ford to introduce the new nameplate to New Zealand.” Built in Canada, the Ford Endura ST-Line is a prime example of the One Ford global product portfolio and joins Ford New Zealand’s expanding SUV range alongside the Ford Everest large 4WD SUV, the Escape medium-sized SUV and the EcoSport small SUV. The Endura ST-Line will also be the second ST-Line vehicle to arrive in New Zealand, joining the Mondeo ST-Line introduced in 2017. In addition to an exhilarating drive experience thanks to its performance-oriented powertrain, the Endura ST-Line will feature a number of premium features including Active Noise Control, Active Park Assist and advanced safety features. The system can automatically apply the brakes if a potential collision is detected and the driver does not respond to warnings. The Endura ST-Line will also feature Ford’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) technology as standard, delivering a seamless transition between front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive performance to provide a more secure footing on the road especially in slippery conditions. Measuring how the car’s wheels are gripping the road surface every 16 milliseconds – 20 times quicker than it takes to blink – the system can send up to 100 per cent of engine torque to the front or rear wheels. By only delivering torque where and when it is needed, Intelligent AWD has minimal impact on fuel-efficiency and CO2 emissions compared with permanent four-wheel drive systems. Noise Control The Ford Endura ST-Line has a number of noise control devices and designs working together to provide a real sense of tranquility when driving. Ford’s Active Noise Control silences unwanted cabin noise. Microphones detect and measure specific sound waves. Whilst a control unit can separate sounds people want to hear, like conversation and the audio, from those they do not. The system then creates inaudible ‘white noise’ to cancel out any unwelcome noises. Acoustic windscreen glass and laminated glass for both front door windows further reduce wind noise while underbody panels and wheel-arch liners further minimise road noise. State of the Art Diesel Powertrain The Endura ST Line features an advanced 2.0 TDCi engine upgraded with a 154kW bi-turbo to maximise performance, torque and economy, whilst lowering emissions. The Bi-Turbo engine features two turbochargers and offers enhanced performance and efficiency. The primary turbo works at lower speeds, giving an extra boost when needed - such as when turning from a junction into moving traffic. Meanwhile, the secondary turbo works at higher speeds, like when overtaking a slow-moving vehicle. Safety The two rear outer seats are fitted with rear inflatable seat belts. In the event of an impact, the belts inflate and spread the crash forces over a five times larger area of the body than conventional seat belts. By reducing pressure on the chest and better controlling head and neck movement, this innovative technology can help reduce the likelihood of injury. Ford Endura ST-Line Full Specifications Powertrain 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi, twin turbo diesel Euro Stage VI emissions Power: 154kW / Torque: 450Nm Fuel Consumption: 5.9L/100km*, CO2:149g/kg* Max towable mass: 2,000kg braked 6 speed automatic Transmission AWD Exterior 20” Platinum Grey alloy wheels, 255/45 Tyres Front, rear and side sports body styling with dark exterior detailing Front upper grill with unique bars and surround Sports suspension Black roof rails Front fog lights LED rear lights Automatic headlights with auto low/high beam & rain sensing front windscreen wipers Body colour rear spoiler Rear view camera with front and rear parking sensors Privacy glass Quickclear heated windscreen Power fold mirrors Front and rear parking sensors Handsfree power tailgate Safety and Driver Assist Technology Ford Intelligent Protection System (IPS) ABS with electronic brake-force distribution Curve Control Roll Stability Control Active City Stop Lane keeping aid BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert Rear view camera Adaptive cruise control Active park assist (perpendicular and parallel) with pull out assist Airbags – front side impact, driver’s knee bolster, front and rear curtain, inflatable rear seat belts Front passenger airbag deactivation switch Interior SYNC 3 with 8” colour touchscreen and navigation system Integrated Active Noise Control Ford Key Free System with Ford Power Starter Button Front heated and cooled seats with rear heated seats Dual zone electronic automatic temperature control Ambient lighting Auto-dimming rear-view mirror Velour front and rear floor mats Premium instrument cluster 220 V power outlet in centre console Pedal set with aluminium covers Partial leather trim 10-way power front driver’s seat with memory and 8-way power passenger’s seat |

"Next year will see Ford also launch a refreshed EcoSport, a further update for the recently launched Escape and a refresh of the off-road focused Everest.
Ford says the Endura name is shorthand for Endurance. "Symbolically, the name follows the 'E' SUV naming convention, with Endura itself representing strength, durability, reliability and sportiness, which are key attributes of this all-new vehicle. Market research conducted resulted in 'Endura' resonating most, relative to the features and capability of the vehicle, as well as being unique and contemporary,” Ford's latest release says." The article also states "coming late 2018" needs to come much sooner. Competition will have new models out by then. https://www.themorningbulletin.com.a...-year/3265107/

Whats the point having a diesel with such a crap towing capacity - 2000 kg. This will rule out a lot of current Territory owners from upgrading.

This below: is not bad figures, more power than territory, better economy. it has less towing & seats but you will find that suits most peoples requirement anyway
2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi, twin turbo diesel Power: 154kW / Torque: 450Nm Fuel Consumption: 5.9L/100km Max towable mass: 2,000kg braked AWD Will it drive as nice? I doubt it, but ill reserve judgement till I drive one.

![]() Fords problem with this is it will be expensive cause it's coming out of Canada, and because the North Americans have the choice of going to Explorer if they want 7 seats then they don't build the 7 seat version they do in China. And the chinese version will be unsuitable for our market. Ford are also saying if you want 7 seats you can buy an Everest. Not the same kind of vehicle though is it? |

Here's a walk-around of the ST-line from the Geneva motor show 2017:
I don't mind it. Reminds me of a Land Rover Disco Sport in a lot of ways. Interesting bottom sill ine on the back door. Interior reminds me of the Focus ST, but that is probably to be expected.

I suspect the front, rear and the interior will be different. Having said that, I like the current version in that video. Last edited by Fordman1; 15-11-2017 at 08:05 PM. |

I read, somewhere, about the ST line also being released in NZ with the TTV6 Petrol.
It wasn't the 3.5L, maybe 2.5-2.7L? |

I saw something saying the Holden Equinox will be starting at 28k when it comes here.
Bet the Endura will be overpriced |

I read the Equinox was taking over from Craptiva.
It's up against the Escape, CX5 etc |

I'm usually very positive on new Ford releases but....$50-$75k? for a 150kw 4 cylinder? That's Euro-pricing, not Ford value.
I don't see queues forming. |

Holden Equinox is CX5 sized and priced. Craptiva stays
http://www.caradvice.com.au/600902/2...ing-and-specs/ Endura is bigger and better, and will be worth the Extra dollars. to compare look at Kluger pricing, and remember the cheap base Klugers are FWD only

As Territory started at low 40's, I would have expected pricing to start at low to mid 40s

When are people going to get it. 95% of people do not give a rats a*+*# about power or performance.

I think some people need to reserve their judgement on this until they can actually sit in it. Biggest thing for me is it was never coming soon enough. for those who want more power, I believe a 2.7 ecoboost model will follow if this thing does all right.

Tx was 40k d/a ....44k for a diesel. This will be 51k if Ford are saying 48k its not drive away.

the article that i quoted from is referring to Everest, and saying they would assume it would come in under that. if there is a release from ford regarding pricing, then that's different, but its not posted in this thread. |

There was an article from last year that Ford were thinking of $49,990 as the entry level. That will probably come down to mid 40s now there is the RWD Everest.

It's an old article written by a guy with zero credibility.
Logic says it will be priced between escape and Everest. |
