Background: Why this SUV matters
The 2025 Ford Endeavour marks Ford’s strong comeback in India. The company bowed out of Indian manufacturing in 2021 but is now reactivating its Maraimalai Nagar (Chennai) plant, initially for engines and components, with full vehicle production “possible in H2 2025,” according to Tamil Nadu’s industries minister (The Financial Express). The first comeback model is almost certainly the new-gen Everest, badged “Endeavour” again for India, aimed squarely at Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster loyalists.
2025 Ford Endeavour price: three likely scenarios
| Scenario | Assembly route | Key power-train(s) | Estimated ex-showroom band | Why the variation? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value-focused base | CKD with high localisation | 2.0 L single-turbo diesel, 6-MT | ₹35 – ₹40 lakh | Local parts keep taxes down; targets Fortuner 4×2 buyers |
| Mid-tier sweet spot | CKD / CKD+import mix | 2.0 L bi-turbo + 10-AT, 4×4 option | ₹45 – ₹50 lakh | Matches CarDekho & 91Wheels projections for “standard” trims (91Wheels, CarDekho) |
| Halo V6 trim | CBU (< 2,500-unit rule) | 3.0 L V6 diesel, full ADAS | ₹70 – ₹80 lakh | Higher import duty; echoed by CarLelo & Financial Express leaks (CarLelo, The Financial Express) |
Take-away: For most buyers, budgeting ₹45–50 lakh on-road should capture the mainstream 4×4 variant, but enthusiasts could see a premium of 20–30 lakh if they chase the V6 CBU.
