CARVERSAL

Ford is rolling back into the Indian SUV game with the much-awaited 2025 Endeavour. Known as the Everest in global markets, this beast is all set to lock horns with the Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster. You must check a thing or two if you're hoping for something very fresh in the full-size SUV department. Let's go through it point by point.

What’s It Going to Cost

The prices fluctuate and lie somewhere between ₹35 and ₹50 lakhs (ex-showroom). You can expect different versions to suit different needs, from a base version that is more practical to a heavy-tech and fully loaded version.

The entry-level trim should sit at around ₹35 lakh, powered by a 2.0L diesel engine, likely paired with a manual transmission. Mid-range buyers can expect an automatic transmission at around ₹40 lakh, while those eyeing the top-tier version will need to shell out close to ₹50 lakh for a 4WD setup, advanced driver-assist features, and premium add-ons.

Design and Func​tionality

A Look That Means Business

The 2025 Endeavour isn’t just a minor facelift—it’s got some serious muscle in its design. Borrowing cues from the Ford Ranger pickup, it sports bold C-shaped LED DRLs framing a massive twin-slat grille. It’s got a longer stance, stretching close to 4,900mm, giving it a dominating presence. The LED taillights get a fresh design update, further sharpening its road presence.

Under the Hood: Power and Performance

Ford is expected to bring in two diesel options for India. The 2.0L single-turbo engine is capable of producing 200 horsepower along with 450 Nm of twisting force, while the twin-turbo version pushes it slightly further to 210 horsepower and 500 Nm. Both engine types can shoot for a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth shifts. And yes, a 4WD option with multiple off-road driving modes should be on the table for those who like to take the road less traveled.

Tech That Keeps You Hooked

A modern SUV is defined by its technology, and the Endeavour does not lag. It boasts a massive 12-inch touchscreen on the dashboard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. A fully digital 12.4-inch instrument cluster is an elegant touch that gives the driver's cockpit a futuristic look and feel. Also for the convenience freaks, a wireless charging pad and multiple USB ports are in place to keep devices juiced up.

Comfort? It’s Got That Covered

The 2025 Endeavour is loaded with features like ventilated and heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof,and a gesture-controlled powered tailgate. The cabin will give you maximum comfort, with plush materials and a smart layout that will make your long drives feel smooth.

Safety First, Always

Safety is an area that Ford did not compromise on. The most highlighted  Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and pedestrian- and vehicle-collision systems. It also comes with nine airbags and a 360-degree camera system to improve maneuvers in tight spaces.

What About the Fuel Economy

Diesel-powered SUVs are hardly known for their fuel efficiency, and the Endeavour is going to be no exception. Mileage figures would range between 10 and 14 km to the liter, which is pretty typical for the class. Not the best in terms of fuel consumption, but its performance and strength more than compensate for it.

Can It Take Down the Fortuner

Toyota’s Fortuner has a firm grip on the Indian market, but the Endeavour isn’t coming in quietly. It’s bringing in more modern tech, a refined driving experience, and some seriously appealing off-road capabilities. While Fortuner fans swear by its reliability, the Endeavour might just turn some heads with its fresh appeal.

When’s It Hitting the Showroom

If all goes as planned, the Ford Endeavour 2025 should hit Indian roads by December 2025. Ford’s comeback after its 2021 exit has already stirred excitement, and with the right pricing and service network, this SUV could make a strong impact.

The Bottom Line

The Endeavour is stepping back into the ring with power, tech, and a bold design. It has all the power that can rival the Fortuner, but Ford also has to get the pricing and after-sales service right if it wants to make a real dent in the market. If you were expecting to purchase a full-size SUV,  Ford Endeavour is worth waiting for.

F​AQs

1. What’s the expected waiting period after booking the Endeavour?

That depends on demand, but considering the hype, initial waiting times could stretch beyond three to six months. Ford’s production capacity and delivery speed will determine how quickly buyers get their hands on one.

2. Will Ford expand its service network in India for the Endeavour?

That’s one of the biggest concerns. Ford will need to rebuild its service network after its 2021 exit. If they set up enough service centers, it could make the Endeavour a more viable option for buyers.

3. Is the Endeavour worth waiting for, or should I just buy a Fortuner now?

If you love tech, modern design, and a smooth ride, waiting for the Endeavour makes sense. But if resale value and an extensive service network are your top priorities, the Fortuner still holds the edge. Your call.

4. What colors will be available?

Expect classic shades like white, black, silver, and maybe a few adventurous options.

5. How long will the waiting period be?

That depends on demand, but given the hype, expect a long wait time initially.
