Ford has revealed a new pet accessory concept designed to soothe sensitive ears during the fireworks on New Year's Eve.
The Blue Oval cites statistics showing an estimated 45 per cent of dogs in the UK show signs of fear when they hear fireworks, causing distress for the animals and also their owners.
Ford Australia has confirmed the upcoming Endura SUV will offer an ST-Line variant in Australia, with the range scheduled to land Down Under during the fourth quarter of this year.
Announced via the local division's Facebook page, the ST-Line isn't to be mistaken for the Edge ST offered in North America, which features a high-output 2.7-litre twin-turbo V6. Instead, the local ST-Line will almost certainly be powered by a turbo-diesel engine in keeping with the wider range.

This is the 2019 Ford Edge ST. We'll know the Edge as the Ford Endura, but while Oz gets a family-focused diesel powertrain, the American market's new hero model will be packing a powerful petrol engine tweaked by Ford Performance.
