Ford Endeavour, the latest iteration of which was first showcased as the Everest Concept, is expected to join Ford's Indian portfolio by January, 2016. Though the carmaker is yet to make an announcement about the new Ford Endeavour SUV, it has also been reported that bookings will begin by the end of December, 2015 - at least at dealer level.

The American carmaker was widely thought to have been considering 4 new car launches in India this year. The Figo Aspire compact sedan and all-new Figo hatchback were launched in quick succession in August and September, respectively with the Ford Mustang and Ford Endeavour expected to follow after. As yet, there is no news about the new Ford Mustang's impending launch. The new Ford Endeavour, on the other hand, has already started arriving at dealerships across India.

The original Ford Endeavour was somewhat of a cult favourite in India, thanks to its enormous girth and macho build. However the car lacked the finesse, reliability, and serviceability compared to the Toyota Fortuner, which took the Indian market by storm. With that being said, the new Ford Endeavour is a vastly improved machine when compared to its predecessor. The car still retains the original iteration's macho stance but the designers have managed to incorporate a host of modern and upmarket elements into its design. The front section is still big and boxy albeit features softer edges, DRL equipped headlamps, and a classy variant of Ford's signature trapezoidal grille. The interiors look refined and are packed with features and if it isn't only luxury that you're after, the car has also been equipped with a new terrain management system (TMS).

The Chevrolet Trailblazer was recently launched in India and Ford will be looking forward to entering its own contestant into the premium SUV segment. As far as its price is concerned, the new Ford Endeavour is expected to cost between Rs 20 lakh - Rs 25 lakh.New Ford Endeavour Specs:
