The optimism of The 2024 Ford Endeavour making a comeback in India is higher than ever with Ford Patenting the design of the 2024 Everest in India or Hiring tech experts in Electric Vehicle development for its India Research Center, Let's take a look at the 2024 Ford Endeavour India On-road Price, Features, Interior features and how it stacks against the 2024 Fortuner Legender.

 

Why Launch expected

The launch of the 2024 Ford Endeavour is still not confirmed but is highly expected from the events happening since late 2023, from Ford refusing to sell their Chennai plant to any carmaker (even at a decent valuation), to Ford patenting the design of their New Generation Everest India and finally ford Officials making a job postings for Tech engineers for their EV business, so all these do hint at a positive trend towards Ford making a comeback.

 

2024 Ford Endeavour Exterior

 

The new Generation Ford Endeavour (Everest) carries the old Endy vibes with all-new tech and Gizmos, at the front you get the same upright look with an all-straight bonnet with a big front grill covered in chrome or all-black depending on the variant you choose. The front headlights have a range matrix function with daytime running LED DRLs, and the lower parts of the bumper contain the ADAS sensor and a grey-colored skid plate.

 On the side, the new 2024 Endeavour is bigger and mightier than before with a 4.91-meter length, much longer than Fortuner’s 4.79 meters and almost as par with Land Cruiser Prado’s 4.92 meters.

the New Endeavour gets a complete SUV look, with big wheel arches, straight window lines, and an all-straight roofline with big Roof bars, and just like many other American SUVs, the new Endeavour gets the variant badging on the lover part of the front door.

At the minimum, Ford offers 17-inch 5-spoke alloys in the base trim, but we get 20 inchers in the Titanium trim destined for India and even 21 inchers in the top-of-the-line Platinum trim.

 

The back is where the most advancements are done now you get a connected light treatment with Everest written in the Middle, the Lights have a 3D effect, and the Rear glass is slightly tilted like the previous generation. The rear bumper gets a more rugged feel with skid plates which can be even enhanced more by purchasing the wildtrack trim.

 

 

2024 Ford Endeavour engines

In the international market, the new 2024 Ford Endeavour gets the option of two diesel units – a 2.0l bi-turbo inline 4 engine producing 200Hp and 500nm of torque or a 3.0l V6 Diesel powerhouse producing 243hp and 600Nm of torque, both mated to a 10-speed transmission. The V6 is the more desirable one but most probably Ford will bring the 2.0l bi-turbo to the Indian shores due to an almost  ₹ 6 Lakh price difference. (I am happy to pay this difference).

SUV	engine	Horsepower (hp)	Torque (Nm)
Fortuner	2.8l diesel 4 cyl	200	500
Endeavour	2.0l biturbo 4 cyl	200	500
	3.0l v6 diesel	243	600
