Mahan has been driving the Ford Endeavour since 2019, and his overall experience is valuable for potential buyers at least in the second hand car market. There has been a lot of speculations about Ford’s return but as of now none of their actions points towards reentering the Indian car scene.
Contrary to popular belief, Mahan has not faced any major challenges with the car’s service. Even after so many years of Ford’s exit, the company is still managing to give satisfactory service to its clients. The service expenses is categorised as affordable, debunking the myth that maintaining a Ford Endeavour is a costly affair.
Despite being over five years old, the Ford Endeavour does not feel dated at all. Endeavour’s overall vibe is still modern it still at par or even better to its Japanese counterpart. The feature list is so extensive that even the today’s top of the line Legender is not able to match the Ford’s overall package, not even close.
Service and Maintenance
One of the standout aspects of this car’s ownership experience is the minimal need for major part replacements. Apart from usual brake pad and tyre changes, the Ford Endeavour has not required any significant repairs. There has been no day when this car did not start, not event a single breakdown or any engine troubles. The reliability speaks volumes about the car’s superior engineering and build quality.
Feature-Rich Choice
Going for top-of-the-line Ford Endeavour over the Toyota Fortuner is a no-brainer. At the time anyone with a budget for this car was heavily influenced by the superior features offered by the Endeavour. Even today, Endeavour boasts features that surpass those found in the current year’s SUVs. The list does not end after advanced safety systems, a premium sound system, and cutting-edge infotainment options.
Build Quality and Cabin Experience
Endeavour’s build quality has always been the talk of the town. The car’s construction feels solid and durable and the doors are heavy which ensure this car’s longevity. Additionally, the cabin offers a exquisite driving experience, with minimal NVH levels from the outside world. The noise cancellation feature of the car futher enhances the quietness of the car.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Mahan’s five-year ownership review of the Ford Endeavour is overwhelmingly positive. The car’s reliable performance, affordable maintenance, modern features, and exceptional build quality make it a standout choice in the SUV market. For anyone considering a robust and feature-packed SUV, the Ford Endeavour comes highly recommended.
As our priorities have shifted from basics like mileage and maintenance to safety and features, we might welcome Ford’s return to the Indian market with more enthusiasm. If Ford decides to come back, their best move would be to launch the Endeavour first, given that Toyota currently dominates the SUV market and the pick-up truck market is quite limited. Unfortunately, the media has been hyping up Ford’s re-entry to gain views and popularity, but the company’s recent actions suggest otherwise. Ford has sold its manufacturing unit to TATA, which seems counterproductive if they plan to re-enter the market.
