Ford Endeavour Updates

Friday, 13 September 2024 12:03 PM Ford has announced plans to restart its manufacturing operations in India, specifically at its Chennai plant, to produce vehicles for export markets. This move is part of Fords Ford+ growth plan and indicates a potential but uncertain return to the Indian market for sales. The Chennai plant, which previously produced SUVs like the Endeavour, will now focus on exporting vehicles globally. I believe this is a positive step, but its unclear if it will lead to local sales anytime soon.

Wednesday, 31 July 2024 12:52 PM The 2024 Ford Endeavour, likely to be renamed as the Ford Everest in India, is expected to launch in the country via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route. The SUV will feature a new muscular design, a well-equipped cabin, and advanced ADAS features. It will compete directly with the Toyota Fortuner and other premium SUVs. I think the CBU route might make it pricier, but the features and design could justify the cost.

Sunday, 21 April 2024 05:35 PM The 2024 Ford Endeavour has been showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show, highlighting its new muscular design and well-equipped cabin. The SUV will come with advanced safety features including 9 airbags, electronic stability control, and ADAS L2 with Pre-Collision Assist. It will also feature comfort and convenience options like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 360-degree camera. The Indian market launch is expected around March 2025. I believe these safety features will be a major selling point.

Wednesday, 17 April 2024 06:50 AM Ford has confirmed its re-entry into the Indian market with the 2024 Ford Endeavour, which may be launched under the name Ford Everest. The SUV is expected to have a similar appearance to the Ford Ranger pickup truck, with C-shaped LED DRLs and a twin-slat front grille. It will also feature a redesigned dashboard, a 12-inch touchscreen, and a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster. The launch is anticipated in late 2024 or early 2025. Im excited about the new design and features, but the pricing will be crucial.

Friday, 15 March 2024 11:02 PM The upcoming Ford Endeavour in India is expected to be priced between Rs 50-60 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a strong competitor to the Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster. The SUV will offer various driving modes and a locking rear differential for enhanced off-road capabilities. It will also feature a 12-speaker B&O sound system and ambient lighting. The exact engine details for the Indian market are yet to be confirmed. I think the pricing is competitive, given the features.

Tuesday, 20 February 2024 02:13 PM Ford is likely to introduce the 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine in the Indian version of the 2024 Endeavour, paired with a 10-speed automatic gearbox and a four-wheel-drive system. The SUV will boast a fresh dashboard layout with a vertically oriented 12-inch SYNC infotainment system and a 12.4-inch digital instrument console. Other features include multi-zone climate control, auto-dimming IRVM, and a large panoramic sunroof. I believe this engine option will provide a good balance of power and efficiency.

Thursday, 25 January 2024 01:36 PM The 2024 Ford Endeavour will come with several advanced safety features, including ADAS L2 with Pre-Collision Assist, Lane Keeping System, Reverse Brake Assist, and Parking Assist. It will also have nine airbags and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. The SUV will feature a gesture-controlled powered tailgate, heated and ventilated front seats, and a 360-degree camera system. I think these safety features will be a significant selling point for safety-conscious buyers.

Friday, 15 December 2023 04:58 PM Ford has secured the ‘Everest’ trademark in India, indicating that the upcoming SUV might be launched under this name instead of Endeavour. The India-bound model will have no cosmetic changes and will retain the boxy exterior styling and inverted L-shaped LED tail-lights. The interiors will be completely new with a fresh dashboard layout and advanced infotainment systems. Im curious to see how the market reacts to the name change.

Monday, 20 November 2023 10:31 AM The 2024 Ford Endeavour is expected to launch in India with an estimated price range of Rs 50-60 lakh (ex-showroom). The SUV will compete with premium SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, and Skoda Kodiaq. It will feature a range of comfort and convenience options, including wireless phone charging, a panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting. I think the competition in this segment is going to get intense.

Wednesday, 11 October 2023 12:48 AM Fords return to the Indian market with the 2024 Endeavour is highly anticipated, especially after the companys exit in 2021. The new model is expected to be launched via the CBU route initially, with local production possibly starting in late 2025. The SUV will feature various driving modes and off-road capabilities, making it a strong contender in the full-size SUV segment. I believe Fords return could shake up the market dynamics.
