Ford Endeavour (Everest): The Return of a Bold Legend

The SUV market has always been a battlefield of design, power, and presence — and now, the latest Ford Endeavour, internationally known as the Ford Everest, has returned to reclaim its dominance. After a brief absence from the Indian market, the new-generation Ford Endeavour is making waves globally, and anticipation is growing about its potential re-entry into markets like India. So, what makes the 2025 Ford Endeavour (Everest) so special? Let’s take a closer look.


A Redesign That Commands Respect

The first thing you notice about the new Ford Endeavour is its bold and muscular stance. It takes design cues from Ford’s international truck lineup, particularly the Ranger and F-150, blending rugged utility with refined aesthetics. A larger front grille, C-shaped LED daytime running lights, and Matrix LED headlamps give the SUV a futuristic yet aggressive look.

The sculpted hood, flared wheel arches, and prominent character lines along the side add to its commanding presence. With 20-inch alloy wheels and a high ground clearance, the Endeavour isn’t just about looks — it’s ready to take on rough terrains and city streets alike.


Refined Yet Rugged Interior

Step inside, and the Endeavour greets you with a premium cabin that feels more luxury SUV than rough-and-tumble off-roader. The 12-inch portrait-style touchscreen infotainment system takes center stage, running the latest SYNC 4A software with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. A 12.4-inch fully digital instrument cluster complements it, offering a customizable, tech-savvy driving experience.

Soft-touch materials, leather upholstery, and ambient lighting raise the luxury quotient, while practical features like multiple USB ports, wireless charging, and a panoramic sunroof ensure comfort on long journeys.

The new Endeavour is available in both 5- and 7-seater configurations, offering flexibility for families and adventurers alike. With generous boot space and multiple seat-folding options, it’s built for versatility.


Power That Delivers

The latest Ford Endeavour is powered by Ford’s 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo diesel engine, producing a solid 210 hp and 500 Nm of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Depending on the market, a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine may also be available, pushing performance even higher.

Ford has paid serious attention to its 4×4 capabilities. A new electronic shift-on-the-fly system, terrain management system, low-range gearing, and a locking rear differential make it more than ready for off-road adventures. Whether it’s steep inclines, water crossings, or rocky terrain, the Endeavour remains composed and confident.

On-road performance is equally impressive. Thanks to a refined suspension setup and improved chassis dynamics, the new Endeavour offers a more plush and stable ride, even at high speeds. It strikes a near-perfect balance between rugged capability and daily comfort.


Tech & Safety — Smarter Than Ever

Ford has packed the Endeavour with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), making it one of the smartest SUVs in its segment. Features include:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Lane-Keeping Assist
  • Blind-Spot Monitoring
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Autonomous Emergency Braking
  • 360-degree camera with off-road views

These technologies not only enhance safety but also ease the driving experience, especially in urban environments and tight spots.


Global Launch & Indian Expectations

Launched in multiple global markets under the Everest nameplate, the SUV has already won accolades for its performance and premium feel. In markets like Australia, South Africa, and Thailand, it’s positioned as a go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle that doesn’t compromise on comfort or tech.

India has a long-standing love affair with the Endeavour, and ever since Ford exited the market, the demand for used Endeavours has actually gone up. Enthusiasts are hopeful that Ford’s recent hints about returning to India as an EV or CBU-import brand might bring the Endeavour back — perhaps even in a localized assembly format in the future.


Verdict: Built to Rule Again

The latest Ford Endeavour (Everest) is not just an update — it’s a full transformation. It combines everything an SUV buyer wants today: style, space, power, technology, and capability. It stands tall against rivals like the Toyota Fortuner, Isuzu MU-X, and Jeep Meridian, and in many ways, surpasses them in terms of tech, refinement, and comfort.
