Next generation Ford Endeavour has been launched in India at the starting price of INR 24.75 Lacs (ex-showroom, Mumbai). A total of 7 variants have been offered in the lineup with the top end trim costing INR 29.46 Lacs (ex-showroom, Mumbai). Introduced in 2003, the SUV has been transformed totally right from its appearance to the fitments. Unlike the earlier version, which looked like a pick-up truck, the new Endeavour has been rolled out with a well-chiseled body structure, that is based on an all new design language.
Discussing the dimensional front, it's 4892 mm long, 1860 mm wide, 1837 mm tall, 2850 mm of wheelbase and carries a ground clearance of 225 mm. This would mean that the 2016 model will be able to deliver less bodyroll and better departure angle. Standing on the T6 platform, the fascia is fitted with a large grille flanked by projector headlamps on either side. A silver skid plate has been placed on the front bumper that extends to enclose the fog lamps.
