I am writing my review on the recently launched Endeavour.. (20th June'2007) in Delhi..I was really awaiting the launch of this powerful beast of an suv and had heard a lot about it since its launch earlier this year in Thailand as Ford everest..!!On my visit to the showroom, I saw the same old hulk but an all new heart..!!Yes, the New Endeavour has the best in class Power..
With a 2500 cc direct injection based turbo charged diesel engine, Ford's Patented Duratorq engine (driving the Fiesta), delivering 143 bhp (enough horses to run the beast), higher torque, better mileage (Close to 13 kmpl), it is way better than any suv in its class (Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, Grand vitara etc.)Besides Ford's old school raw styling adding up to the Hulk like features is the new improved clear lights and little upliftment in the front. (Not significant) the Endeavour still looks great and as imposing as ever.
The major and significant changes however are not just under the boot but also visible in the interiors which are way better now..
the interiors are Good, making it polished and no longer the plasticky feeling a touch of wood is also available in the limited edition.
The dashboard has also been improved with a 6 cd mouth based changer which makes the music system more contemporary and appealing (Earlier it was a normal audio cassette player not expected in a 16 lakh plus car).
The air conditioning is powerful like earlier.Also Another Plus for Ford is (which I think is done after careful planning..) is the pricing of the Vehicle..The 4x2 in Delhi is 1472 grands, 4x2 limited is 1552 grands and 4x4 is 1565!!
Which makes it Valus for money and competetively appealingly priced!!So I am Sure Ford has a huge Winner under its belt finally in the Premium SUv segment!!and hats off to Ford to introduce it soon enough in India.. And I am positive that I would buy this SUV by this Diwali!!Hope this helps..
