While the Everest Tremor trim is also available in Australia, the Tremor with the 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine is exclusive to the Middle East
In line with region-specific requirements, Ford has introduced a new Tremor trim with the 2026 Everest (Endeavour) in the UAE. The primary differentiating factor is the 2.7-litre V6 EcoBoost petrol unit, engineered for the demanding conditions of the Middle East. Ford Everest Tremor also gets other updates, including enhanced off-road capability. Let’s check out the details.
Ford Endeavour Tremor (Everest) – Engine specs
Ford’s 2.7-litre V6 EcoBoost petrol engine has been in production since 2015. It has been used in models like the Ford F-150, Ford Edge, Bronco, Fusion Sport and North American Ranger. However, this is the first time the 2.7-litre V6 EcoBoost petrol engine is being offered with the Everest SUV.
Since it has been introduced for region-specific requirements, it is unlikely that other markets will get this engine option with the Everest. Performance numbers of the 2.7-litre V6 EcoBoost engine are pretty impressive at 355 HP and 500 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
With this new powertrain, users can expect the Everest to seamlessly handle demanding driving conditions and off-road adventures. SUVs in the Middle East region have to handle tough conditions such as extreme heat and desert driving. Ford Everest Tremor is also fully ready for desert safaris and dune climbs.
Earlier trims of the Ford Everest – Active, Sport and Platinum – will continue to be available in the Middle East. The Tremor range in the Middle East already includes the F-150 Tremor and Expedition Tremor. The newest addition, Everest Tremor, is expected to be competitively priced, all while offering robust off-road capability and versatility.
As for the existing engine options of a 2.3-litre EcoBoost petrol and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel, these may continue to be available with the Ford Everest in the Middle East. In Australia, the Ford Everest Tremor is offered with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine. It generates 247 HP and 600 Nm of torque, and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Other updates, India launch prospects
Ford Everest Tremor in the Middle East gets adventure-ready hardware. It includes Bilstein Suspension and 17-inch all-terrain tyres. Users can expect enhanced capability across uneven terrain, sand and gravel.
In terms of Ford Endeavour’s India launch possibility, there is currently no official timeline. Ford’s Chennai plant is being readied, but it will be initially used only for manufacturing engines for export markets. Some reports indicate that Ford Endeavour could be imported into India in limited numbers via the CBU route.
When it was available in India, Ford Endeavour used to be one of the preferred options in the large SUV segment. After Endeavour was discontinued in India in 2021, Toyota Fortuner emerged as a clear winner in this space. If Ford Endeavour is relaunched in India, it will take on rivals such as Skoda Kodiaq, MG Gloster and Jeep Meridian, in addition to the Fortuner.
