By Advisor wheels 05-09-2025 46
The SUV market in India is riding on high expectations that Ford is set to reintroduce the legendary Ford Endeavour in 2025, under a new global brand of Ford Everest, yet likely to be renamed Ford Endeavour in India. This off-road, high-end SUV has long been popular with the adventurer multigenerational families and off-roaders, offering both off-road and luxury for the family. Want to take this heavyweight on your next adventure? This guide dissects all the details you must know about the variants, features, pricing, and more of the Ford Endeavour to make an informed choice.
Why the Ford Endeavour Stands Out
After briefly quitting India in 2021, the Ford Endeavour will have a big comeback. Not yet available in the market, it is expected to reach showrooms in March-June 2025 as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) import, to be succeeded by locally assembled (CKD) units which could reduce costs. It is a high-end SUV that will be competing with such giants as the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, and Jeep Meridian. The Endeavour is set to provide a powerful combination of style, comfort and capability with its bold new design, cutting-edge technology and powerful diesel engines.
In the city or on rough roads, this SUV is ready to get the attention. However, there are many variants and a host of features that come with it, so how do you settle on the correct one? Let's dive into the details.
Exploring the Variants
The Ford Endeavour 2025 is likely to be sold in India in two or three different versions, depending on the need to strike a balance between affordability and premium features. According to the international patterns (Ambiente, Trend, Sport, Platinum), Titanium and Platinum can be used as trims in India, although there could be Titanium+ as an additional feature. Here’s a closer look:
- Titanium 2.0L 4x2 AT (Base Variant): This variant is driven by 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel engine (200-210 hp, 500 Nm) with 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (2WD). It fits well with city shoppers who are comfortable and efficient customers. A 12-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, half a dozen airbags, basic Advanced Driver Assistance systems (ADAS) such as Lane Departure Warning, are to be expected.
- Titanium+ 2.0L 4x4 AT (Mid-Tier): This variant features four-wheel drive (4WD), which comes with a Terrain Management System to go off-road. It also has the 2.0L Bi-Turbo, but with additional features such as panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, nine airbags, and high-tech ADAS (Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping). This trim is a compromise between those that desire versatility and those that do not wish to spend beyond their means.
- Turbo-Diesel engine (250 hp, 600 Nm), 10 speed automatic and full time 4WD with locking rear diff. It comes loaded with high-end features such as a 12-speaker B&O sound system, ventilated leather seats, 12.4-inch digital driver display and a complete ADAS system, including Reverse Brake Assist. It is the option preferred by the customer who wants to be luxurious and enjoy the unparalleled off-road performance.
Each variant caters to different needs: the Titanium for city commuters, the Titanium+ for mixed use, and the Platinum for enthusiasts craving top-tier performance.
Features That Define the Endeavour
The Ford Endeavour 2025 is a modernized design and technology. On the outside, it has a very bold, boxy shape featuring a huge grille, C-shaped LED DRLs, and Matrix LED headlights. The use of colors such as Arctic White, Meteor Grey and Equinox Bronze gives it an extra touch and the inverted L-shaped LED taillights also make it more modern.
The Endeavour also has a large 7-seater cabin that has plenty of legroom in each row. More expensive trims include high-quality leather upholster, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof that gives it an open-air feeling. The technology package is equally notable, as it includes a 12-inch touchscreen that is powered by SYNC 4, a Ford Pass linked feature (remote start, climate control), and a 12.4-inch digital cluster. The 12-speaker B&O sound system in the Platinum will appeal to Audiophiles.
Safety is in focus and features up to nine airbags, ABS, ESP and a 5-star ANCAP-rated safety package. The Level 2 ADAS package consists of Pre-Collision Assist, Lane Keeping, and Adaptive Cruise Control, ensuring the long trips are less exhausting and tiresome. To the off-road user, the Terrain Management System (Sand, Mud, Snow, Auto modes), high ground clearance (225 mm) and the underbody protection, which comes as factory-fitted, all assure them that the Endeavour can overcome any obstacle.
Pricing: What to Expect
Pricing for the Ford Endeavour will vary by variant and import status. As a CBU import, expect:
- Titanium 2.0L 4x2 AT: ₹35–40 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Titanium+ 2.0L 4x4 AT: ₹40–45 lakh (ex-showroom).
- Platinum 3.0L 4x4 AT: ₹45–55 lakh (ex-showroom).
When assembly of CKD starts, the prices can fall by 10-15. Road charges (RTO and insurance) might make the Titanium+ around [?]50 lakh in cities such as Delhi. The Endeavour is competitively priced compared to the competitors with its feature-packed trims, but its all-diesel range is likely to dishearten some customers interested in petrol or hybrid versions.
Another consideration is the cost of ownership. Achieve a mileage of 10-14 kmpl (ARAI-certified), depending on the model and the conditions of the road. Taking off past models, it is estimated that maintenance will be [?]2.3-2.5 lakh in the first year itself, with a normal 3 years/1 lakh km warranty to the customer as a guarantee.
Is the Ford Endeavour Right for You?
Ford Endeavour is the ideal vehicle to target the customers who want an all-purpose SUV that can perform well both in the city or off-road. Families will enjoy its large cabin and safety, and adventure lovers will enjoy its roughness. But worth mentioning is the fact that there are no petrol or hybrid engines and the long-term approach that Ford has not taken in India yet. Should you have other options, the Toyota Fortuner is good in terms of resale value, the MG Gloster is cheaper and the Jeep Meridian is a higher quality though smaller model. i
Tips for Buying the Ford Endeavour
- Test Drive First: Visit a Ford showroom post-launch to experience the Endeavour’s ride quality and off-road performance.
