Latest Updates
Thursday, 10 April 2014 07:43 AM Ford India recalls 22,690 units of the previous generation Endeavour due to airbag concerns. The recall affects vehicles manufactured between February 2004 and September 2014. This move is part of a global recall to ensure safety standards are met. I think this is a responsible step by Ford to prioritize customer safety.
Sunday, 15 September 2013 04:26 PM The 2014 Ford Endeavour sees a price hike due to changes in GST cess rates. The prices have been increased by Rs 1.8 lakh, making the SUV more expensive for buyers. This hike is a result of the new tax structure implemented by the government. I believe this could impact sales, especially in a price-sensitive market like India.
Tuesday, 20 August 2013 04:40 AM Ford India launches the 2014 Endeavour with a new 2.2 litre diesel engine, along with a sun roof feature in the premium variant. This update aims to enhance the SUVs appeal with additional features and better performance. The new variant is priced at Rs 30 lakh. I think the sun roof is a nice touch, adding to the luxury feel of the vehicle.
Monday, 01 April 2013 06:49 AM The BS-IV compliant Ford Endeavour is introduced in India, meeting the new emission norms. This update includes a 2.2 litre diesel engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The move is part of Fords effort to comply with environmental regulations. I believe this is a step in the right direction for a cleaner environment.
Friday, 15 February 2013 07:00 PM Ford India announces the discontinuation of the entry-level Titanium 4x2 AT variant of the Endeavour. This decision is likely due to low demand for this specific trim. The Endeavour will now be available in only a few variants. I think this streamlining of variants could help Ford focus on more popular models.
Sunday, 20 January 2013 10:36 AM The 2014 Ford Endeavour facelift is revealed with minor cosmetic updates and new features. The facelift includes a redesigned radiator grille, new silver frame for the lower intake, and other visual tweaks. This update is aimed at keeping the SUV fresh in the market. I think these updates will help the Endeavour stay competitive.
Monday, 10 December 2012 05:20 PM Ford India introduces a new 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine for the 2014 Endeavour, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This engine is more efficient and powerful than its predecessor. The update is part of Fords strategy to enhance performance and fuel efficiency. I believe this new engine will be a game-changer for the Endeavour.
Thursday, 15 November 2012 03:33 PM The 2014 Ford Endeavour is spotted testing in Thailand, showcasing its new design elements. The SUV features a redesigned front grille, new headlights, and other cosmetic changes. This testing phase indicates an imminent launch in the Indian market. I think the new design will appeal to many SUV enthusiasts.
Saturday, 20 October 2012 12:58 PM Ford India announces a special edition of the Endeavour, known as the Endeavour Sport Edition. This edition includes unique styling elements and additional features to differentiate it from the standard model. The launch is expected to attract more buyers looking for a distinctive SUV. I believe this special edition will generate a lot of interest.
Tuesday, 25 September 2012 07:53 AM The 2014 Ford Endeavour is expected to be launched in India with several new and updated features, including a new turbo diesel engine. The SUV will also see improvements in interior comfort and technology. This launch is part of Fords plan to revamp its SUV lineup in India. I think the new features will make the Endeavour a strong contender in its segment.

Ford Endeavour (2014) Review

13 Aug, 2015 05:43 AM

Synopsis

It all began with Henry Ford cutting the ribbon to one of the pioneering automobile heavyweights back in 1917 when he first unveiled Ford Model T to the world. This revolutionized the era of automobiles and since then more and more automobile makers entered the arena. Ford Endeavour has affixed its position as one of the most competent SUVs rolling in India. Ford India has upgraded the Endeavour and it will be now sold as Endeavour Alterrain and it comes with host of new features like new tough grille, touchscreen navigation system, new stylish 16 inch alloy wheels, new audio control on steering column, electric shift-on-fly and reverse parking camera. The base model of Endeavour Alterrain is priced at INR 19.11 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi). Here is how Ford Endeavour Alterrain maintains its aggressive stance in the Indian SUV arena. 

Ford Endeavour Exterior

When it comes to satisfying customers by its looks, Ford leaves no stones unturned. Starting with the front fascia, Endeavour boasts of an aggressive bonnet with a wide grille. Along with this, the head lamps are large and pretty sporty and the new over-ride bumpers make the car look even more stylish from the front. Just above the bumpers, there are fog lamps of high intensity which help in clearing view in case if visibility is low. The rear view mirrors on the side of the car come with an anti-glare feature which prevents any unnecessary glare becoming a hindrance in sight. Moving over to the side profile of the car, Ford Endeavour Alterrain boasts of side-steppers made up of aluminium, scuff plates for front as well as rear gates, sporty roof rails and not to forget the 16 inch alloy wheels. Finally to the rear part of the car, Ford has done us all a justice by giving a perfect set of uplifted tail-lights of a different combination along with a tire compartment which makes an aggressive finishing to the car altogether. The traditional rear ladder has also been provided which goes up from the back of the car.

Ford Endeavour Interior

Not only does the exterior take away all the glam but the interiors are no less. Ford Endeavour comes with a grand dashboard which is dual toned and the colours used for the interiors are quite user-friendly. Everything from the upholstery to the instrument cluster, gear knob, steering wheel, seats, cabin ambience have been taken into account and we must say we’re pretty much impressed by what Ford has to offer as its interior features.

Comfort and Convenience

The seating arrangement in the car is pretty comfortable owing to the cushion and the material of fabric used by Ford to do up the interiors. There is ample space for a family to comfortably settle and more space can be made up as the rear seats are foldable. This makes more boot space for extra luggage. Storage compartments have been made available throughout the cabin. Air-conditioning is powerful and air vents have been put up all around the cabin in order to make sure that no part of the cabin has a different temperature.

Music System of Ford Endeavour Alterrain

Ford Endeavour comes with a prevailing DVD/MP3 Compatible advanced music system with FM/AM feature additionally. A large LCD screen has been additionally provided which is connected with six speakers. Thus, in case if you want to go out for a long drive with your family and have got a good collection of movies with you to watch on the way, then the audio and video system of the car would definitely keep you entertained. Ford Endeavour Alterrain also features GPS navigation system plus streering column mounted controls for the music system.

Engine and Gearbox

There are basically two types of engines that Ford Endeavour boasts of. One of them is a 2.5 L Diesel Duratorq engine which is capable of giving out a maximum power of 143 PS at 3500 rpm along with a peak torque of 330 Nm at 1800 rpm. The other engine variant is a 2953cc 3.0 L TDCi diesel engine that comes paired with Common Rail Direct Injection Fuel System and five-speed manual transmission. This engine is capable of giving out a maximum power of 156 PS at 3200 rpm with a maximum torque of 380 Nm at 2500 rpm. This helps the car in attaining a resounding acceleration as well as thrust from the core of the engine. Ford Endeavour additionally comes with four-wheel drive option (4WD) which helps the car to easily tread over rough terrains. The 2.5 litre TDCi is mated to 5-speed manual gearbox and 3.0 litre TDCi is mated to 5-speed automatic gearbox.

Acceleration and Performance

As we know that there are basically two variant of engines that Ford uses for Endeavours, thus both of them have a difference in acceleration as well as delivery of performance. There are two versions of a particular variant one of which is the manual transmission version whereas the other one works on automatic transmission. The 2.5 L manual transmission-operated engine is capable of making the car reach from 0-100km/hour in 13.9 seconds with a top speed of 156km/hr. On the contrary, the automatic transmission version reaches 0-100 km/hour in 15.2 seconds with a top speed of 152 km/hr.

The 2.0 L manual transmission engine gives out a mileage of 9.6 Km/L on city roads and 13.8 Km/L on highways. On the other hand, the automatic transmission engine of the same capacity gives out a mileage of 8.9 Km/L on city roads and 13.2 Km/L on highways. The 3.0 L manual transmission engine gives out a mileage of 9 Km/L on city roads and 12.8 Km/L on highways. The automatic transmission version of this engine variant has a mileage of 8.3 Km/L on city roads and 12.4 Km/L on highways.
