Revving Up Expectations: New Ford Endeavour Spotted In India, Launch On The Horizon
The anticipation surrounding the arrival of the new Ford Endeavour in India has reached new heights as the SUV was recently spotted on Indian soil for the first time. This unexpected sighting has sparked speculation that the launch of the Endeavour might happen sooner than initially anticipated.
This development comes on the heels of Ford”s recent patent filings for models tailored for the Indian market, including the iconic Mustang Mach-e and the Endeavour. The sighting of the Endeavour in Chennai, strapped onto the back of a flatbed truck, has further fuelled rumours of an accelerated launch timeline.
The model captured by eager eyes was identified as the Ford Everest, known as the Endeavour in India, in its Trend variant. This entry-level model is currently available in select markets such as Thailand and Australia, aligning with Ford”s patent filings for the Indian market.
Ford”s Chennai plant is expected to play a role in the assembly of the new Endeavour for the Indian market. Having previously manufactured the previous-generation Endeavour, the Chennai facility is well-equipped to handle the production of the latest iteration. While some updates may be required to accommodate the new SUV, the transition is expected to be relatively seamless compared to establishing a new manufacturing facility from scratch.
Globally, the Ford Everest is offered with a choice of 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre diesel engines, and it”s speculated that Ford will retain these powertrain options for the Indian market. Additionally, the SUV is likely to be available in both 4X2 and 4X4 configurations, providing consumers with versatile choices to suit their preferences and driving needs.
Once launched, the Ford Endeavour will enter a competitive segment in the Indian market, going head-to-head with the likes of the Toyota Fortuner, a formidable contender in the SUV segment. With its robust build, cutting-edge features, and renowned performance capabilities, the Endeavour is set to make a strong impression among SUV enthusiasts in India.
As enthusiasts eagerly await further updates and official announcements from Ford regarding the Endeavour”s launch, anticipation continues to build, signalling an exciting chapter in India”s automotive landscape. With its impending arrival, the new Ford Endeavour promises to redefine the standards of luxury, performance, and adventure in the Indian SUV market.
