Exterior

I have bought a moondust silver.  4 X 2 version does not give graphics on the exterior. In a way its nice so that you can get them done yourself.  I chose "ENDEAVOUR" to be written in black and fading out to give a great exterior.  The glasses have been tinted to black. The rear mirror completes the great look of this monster.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) 

Very elegant interiors.  The seating is very comfortable in 1st and 2nd rows.  The third row has better leg space than its competetors but the knees have to be kept bended, that is little uncomfortable for long distances.  The 3 rows airconditioners give a good cooling to all the occupants.  The 4 x 2 version does not have the goodies like 2 din audio-video system, SAT Nav and DVD players, but I got all this and that also of better quality at a mere 40k. Overall a great interiors.  Keep it up Ford.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Fuel economy in city ride is 10-11 km/l and on highways 12 km/l.  The gear box is very sturdy and gives us a feel of power it posseses.  Engine is very responsive and just vroooms around.

Ride Quality & Handling

I had a jump from Wagon R to this monster and had sleepless nights on thinking to buy this monster on road as i was worried about the handling. But all in vain, the Suv drives like butter and handles traffic and turns just great.  The highways are thrilling.   Having a great torque helps to handle this beast well.  I also took test drive of 4 x 4 version but was not at all happy with the automatic in handling city traffic.   The engine keeps itself on higher rpm to go ahead smoothly which is quiet irritatiing.  

Final Words

A great buy.  Unbelievable price for what qualities it gives.  Better handling than 4 x 4 automatic version.  Thanks Ford.   

Areas of improvement  

do not feel any at present.

 

Great on road presence, stunning looks, good handling, great price (lowest in segment)Nil

Exterior

awesome design, the looks are something whole world turns its head around and the sheer size of it brings the crowd to have a look at it

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

the leather seats are nice, the AT gearbox is just perfect. You hear almost no noise of a mammoth engine inside. The Music system is fully loaded so nothing is missing et al. The only thing I miss is the omission of audio controls on steering. You got to have those with this price tag. It costed me 20.24 lacs on road. It is a vehicle i always dreamed to have and now finally have. The 3.0 lt engine is just raw sheer power. You never get tired of it. Also the electronic seat adjustment is missing.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Engine perfom: just brilliant. If you are getting 10-11 Km just after first service, i don't think i have any rights to complain. The 3.0 lt engine have nothing left to prove. It much better than fortuner or any one around. AT gearbox is a breeze, you don't even feel that this vehicle is so huge & heavy. YOu feel you are driving a honda or something.

Ride Quality & Handling

smooth. I just feel the leaf spring is something which doesn't go with this vehicle, but even after that its too smooth. Independent Mc P would have been perfect. I don't know why they still use this. I am no auto expert so can't comment. 

Final Words

just go for it....leave toyota or CRV just not worth the mullah you will spend. The Ford is the way to go. Have driven like 2000 km in 30 days and no complains. I knwo its too early but couldn't wait to write as this site helped me to reach the decision and probably will help you all. 

Areas of improvement  

Audio control on steering, elec seat adjustment & rear suspension. 

 

awesome style, awesome gearbox & real raw powerno headlamp in front row, no audio control on steering

I love this car is the father of all cars and its looks like a mini truck and it's 4*4 car it's length is too big and it's having more space and it's ford means big I love this car more than Lamborghini and its backside a mirror looks so nice and having this car is luck I m not have that Luck but I'm searching this car below 6 lakh.

Exterior

 Excellent design. This was one of the prima facie reasons why I picked this car over other SUV's when choosing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Excellent quality interiors, Spacious especially if you are planning on a getaway to the country or to the farmhouse for a weekend.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Engine is good on the open road, but the vehicle can be sluggish in stop and go city traffic. Fuel Economy can get bad in the city traffic, but is enhanced on open roads. Gearbox is quite good and relatively smooth to shift as compared to the Safari, and the upper end Scorpio!

Ride Quality & Handling

 Excellent ride quality on highways, as mentioned above. I would also rate the Toyota Fortuner abt the same, but the overall experience off roading is somewhat better in this 4x4!

Final Words

 Despite its shortcomings, its a pleasure to own and drive one. My recommendation overall for this car would be a positive.

Areas of improvement  

 The company needs to improve the cost of after sales service - both in terms of service network and cost of replacing spares.

 

Good Looking, Rugged, Fun to drive on highways and open roads, Features, SafetyPickup (truck like), difficulty driving in city conditions, mileage, cost of replacing spares

I hired a self driven Endeavour for a road trip to Leh. This car has excellent features like ABS (which is quite effective) and some unheard things like bonnet pops up when overheated, et all. I just loved the drive. Front row seating is very comfi and I drove around 3000km in 8 days and didnt feel stressed at all. Second row seats have good leg room. Third row is fine when folded only. The car simply eats up the pot holes but when on bumps, it can be very dislocating. The second row occupants can face some uncomfortable time coz of this. The 4H mode isnt very effective and I had to fall back on 4L mode very often. Apart from this the SUV is truly a winner. The ground clearance is by far the best.Interoirs are American, and thouht about. I even learnt it had a map reading table in the dashboard(thats what i call it). I got a mileage of 10+ for the entire trip with AC on for over 75% time. In this price, theres nothing comparable. A friend of mine who owns an Endeavour is not happy with service options in Delhi and sometimes has to wait for a week or so for the spares. I dont know if this is generic opinion, but certainly prompts me to think twice before buying one for myself.Good fuel economy for its size, excellent road presence, good brakes, zips on highway, true off-roadBad on bumps, spares and service in Delhi

I have been driving this beast for 7 months now and I am very happy to note that I am fully satisfied and happy with the vehicle. I drive a Endeavour 3L 4X4 automatic. The driving is a pleasure and completely great in heavy traffic. It is very easy to maneuver and the sitting posture is great. I used to get back pain on long journeys in my early Tata Safari, but in this car I have never felt any discomfort in my back. Max I have driven in one shot is 7hours. The automatic transmission is very smooth any the pickup is just great. I can leave everyone in a cloud of dust by just one flick of my accelerator in a red light. The ride can be a bit bumpy but if I reduce tyre pressures to 30psi then the ride gets good. Also the turning raduis of this SUV is great and I have used it in busy roads in Bangalore, and I m very happy. I drive to office and back home every day in my Endeavour and get a mileage of 9.5KMPL every day. On highways I get around 11KMPL.

Very nice machine over all. Brilliant and comfortable drive accross terrains. Good speed and pickup on highways and even a greater confident drive up the hills. Nothing beats it as an offroader as we tested the car fully loaded with family, up at corbett in the jungles and that too in the monsoons where the river current was ferocious and the soil wet muddy and lose. What is missing is some basic features like drivers seat Ht adjust which is important for this car. Also retractable sideview mirrors would help in traffic like India where at times you need to urgently pull back your mirrors to avoid dammage. Basic teething troubles also exist which get adjusted over a couple of services.

The side puddle lamps are a boon and the DVD is a fantastic feature to keep kids busy during long drives.

The 2nd row seat howver is slightly uncomfortable for a 3rd person and the 3rd row is only good for small kids.

They need to add some better accessories and keep them affordable. 

excellent feel of power, great pickup for the size, commanding road presence, fantastic offroaderImportant features missing are auto retracting side view mirrors, driver seat height adjustments.
