The ride on the first gen Endy when unloaded isn’t great over bad roads. But it is far from being trash. The rear leaf springs were one of the downsides of this otherwise pretty comfortable car. I’ve driven and been in other body on frame SUVs and pickups, as well as monocoque hatchbacks and sedans and I must say I never felt more comfortable sitting inside those vehicles on bumpy roads. These BoF vehicles are very sensitive to tyre pressure, if you do it correct you can step up the ride quality miles more. The leaf sprung Endy is way better than the first gen Fortuner that has coil springs rear. The UA/UA2 suspension setup is definitely the upgrade that was needed from the first gen. As one who drives a 2006 Endy even today, I can confidently say it was really well engineered for its time, cost and the segment which it was based on. If you’re not over enthusiastic you can even have some fun in corners. I’m not joking, body roll is present but far, far less than the other counterparts and there’s no excessive pitching like in some SUVs My memories with the First gen Endy is great on and off-road. When I was in my early teens, our family as a whole had gone for a test drive in 2016 when the second gen was launched and enjoyed every bit of it. If I were to own a used SUV it’d be the 2nd gen Endy hands down, nothing comes close in VFM. I like to call it the budget Land Rover.
Sold my Endeavour (2020) bc my 4 year extended warranty ended in 2024, in my 4 years of ownership not a single problem with the car, Excellent ride ( extremely quiet & comfortable),excellent servicing by ford which costed less than the servicing cost of my Nexon. Bought the XUV 700 (AWD), regret it everyday.
@@sirishch both, XUV spends a lot of time at the workshop, manufacturing defects. Wasted a lot of time contacting people at Mahindra for the same, it's the perfect example of -looks can be deceiving
If you’re regretting your decision, I’d suggest you to go back and buy a used Endy in pristine condition, or if you’re looking for a brand new car without the niggles, wait some time to see what Ford India may offer for the Indian customers.
The rarest modern Ford in india ever, apart from the older cars like Mondeo, escort and fusion would be the ecosport facelift (without the Stepney)....... Also I thought the 3.2L was a 4 cylinder but I was wrong! Man after knowing that it was a 5 cylinder my love for endeavour has risen even more!
1:14 lol not even a picture? Come on guys you can do better! Seriously how hard is it to find the first generation ford endeavour/Everest in India? And how hard is it to find a pic of it? Y'all should be talking about why the Stepney cover has 'peakes' design on it... And instead you are showing the 3rd generation pic?
Endeavour name plate has a value of 35 to 45 lakhs indians knw that . When they use the Everest badge the cost ll go uptp 60 70 increasing their brand value !
as a person who has the endeavour 3.2 2018 model. I have driven it 1.86 lakhs, and I have even skipped my 10k service mark once and still the car runs like brand new, the service cost still comes between 10-13K (includes alignment and balancing also). and as a person who also has Fortuner 2020, Rubicon 2023, I have to give props, all my friends and my family and even me are extremely impressed by this car, and I can easily take on the debate why endeavour is much much better than the fortuner, my 2018 endy is still better than my latest 2020 fortuner.
Dear Sirish, I'm still waiting for the Bajaj Bikes Evolution video under the series "Gone But Not Forgotten." Also, I would like to see another video on Ford Mondeo. As you promised me the Bajaj Bikes Video, please prioritize that. Thank you.
I was waiting for this one! But not all Endeavours that were offered in Indian market is seen in this video sadly 😢. But kudos to evo India for making this video! Endy is such and underrated and under appreciated car in the Indian market. It’s good that Ford stopped selling the Endy for some few years, this has made a huge impact in people’s mindsets.
I always loved Endeavour over Fortuner! Never got chance to drive one though, but can imagine ride & handling as I own 2010 Fiesta SXi TDCi... Gem of the machine! Glad to see your ride on Evo India, Nikhil!!! Cheers👍
1:44 Sirish, You ppl tried very hard to hide that NCP logo on the front number plate, as Lok Sabha elections are going on, but you forgot to remove that party scarf tied on the IRVM, which is screaming out the party logo...😂😂😂😂 Liked your way of story telling, as always , excellent episode....❤😊
So y'all couldn't find the first gen Ford Endeavour?.. launched in 2003 and on sale till late 2006.. coz that was good looking for its time. These gone but not forgotten are getting boring now!
@sirishch The ride had been softened in the 2019 facelift. What are your impressions regarding the difference in ride and handling between the 3.2 vs 2.0 @evoindia
Ford is ford my father brought ford ikon 2004 diseal in 2007 second hand driven 3 laks kms and scraped in 2019 and again he brought 2010 ford ikon tdci still using it its driven 5 lakh kms still running smoothly from past 17 years we are using same ikon still 2024 my dream was to gift a ford endover to my father i felt sad after ford announcement of leaving from india
0:52 finally the Americans are off crack! 😂 .. it should have always been Ford Everest but for some stupid reason Ford decided to call it endeavour.. Ford has been so stupid after they were done launching Ikon. That was nice, the 1.6, hoot to drive.
@evoIndia I think so you missed the Endeavour 3.2 Facelift whose media drive was in Rajasthan and confused it for the BS6 Endeavour as that Endeavour which had it's Media drive in Rajasthan
I sold my endy and bought fortuner in 2018 even tho i miss her fortuner with less equipment was and still is reliable, main point is equipent that endy offered … still not there in present suvs 😢
Even I am the lucky fellow to buy the last piece of Ford Freestyle BS VI Diesel after their operational shut down in India. Had 2 new ford cars earlier. Currently owning Ford Fiesta Classic and Ford Freestyle both are bought as new cars from showroom. I thank Ford whole heartedly for giving good cars. Waiting for upcoming Ford Cars
I think they had 10spd gearbox with 2019 update Later in 2020 they split endeavour two variants sport with black grill and other with chrome grill and like sirish said completely discontinued 3.2 and 2.2
Can you also make a video on Daewoo Cielo. It will be really a heart touching video for me as it was my Dad’s first car bought by him just a week before I was born. Lots of memories will be refreshed. Thank you
Come to think of it. Even in the used markets, the Endy 2nd gen commands a massive premium. In some states, it is higher than even the mighty T Fort. I guess, the lower cost of ownership from Ford and the massive appeal of the Endeavour is not helping the case of used car buyers like me :(
What are your Ford Endeavour memories? Will you buy the new Endeavour when it comes back to India?
From horrid leaf springs on gen 1 to the excellent dynamics of the gen 2... In fact even today the Gen 2 Endy drives better than contemporary rivals
The ride on the first gen Endy when unloaded isn’t great over bad roads. But it is far from being trash. The rear leaf springs were one of the downsides of this otherwise pretty comfortable car.

regret selling it or regret buying the other one?

Why did you sell it though? 4 years doesn’t seem like a long ownership to trade
@@adityadewan2802what's your issues

Great engine!
So many years later the Endy 3.2 still feels so contemporary. So nice to drive. Such a shame they pulled out
Don't forget that Endy 3.2l had a very unique "5 cyl" engine.
Nice video... Proud owner here of the black Gen 1 endeavor in this video... ❤❤
Thank you for your Endy Nikhil
Thank you. #thethrillofdriving

22:36 In my opinion it should be called Endeavor rather then Everest.....
Likewise...
Endeavour name plate has a value of 35 to 45 lakhs indians knw that . When they use the Everest badge the cost ll go uptp 60 70 increasing their brand value !
May the 'ford' be with you 👽
What a presentation sirish ❤❤❤
And true, no Everest it should be endeavour
What a brand it is
Don’t kill the name for no reason 😢
I agree
Known as “Fortuner Killer” for a reason ❤
as a person who has the endeavour 3.2 2018 model. I have driven it 1.86 lakhs, and I have even skipped my 10k service mark once and still the car runs like brand new, the service cost still comes between 10-13K (includes alignment and balancing also). and as a person who also has Fortuner 2020, Rubicon 2023, I have to give props, all my friends and my family and even me are extremely impressed by this car, and I can easily take on the debate why endeavour is much much better than the fortuner, my 2018 endy is still better than my latest 2020 fortuner.
pls do a video on chevrolet cars like the beat and cruze. those were very much fantastic cars.
Dear Sirish, I'm still waiting for the Bajaj Bikes Evolution video under the series "Gone But Not Forgotten." Also, I would like to see another video on Ford Mondeo. As you promised me the Bajaj Bikes Video, please prioritize that.
Thank you.
Yes boss 👍🏼
12:23 am i the only one who thinks the sound is like a V8 petrol?
😅
Yes
They should name it endeavor 😢.
+1
Will you guys buy new endeavour for EVO team
As a CBU at 65-70 lakh? No.
Were you talking about the manufacturer of Everest Masala (the one who had the rights to the Everest name) 😁😁
I don’t know who has or had the rights to that name! Really curious
I was waiting for this one! But not all Endeavours that were offered in Indian market is seen in this video sadly 😢. But kudos to evo India for making this video! Endy is such and underrated and under appreciated car in the Indian market. It’s good that Ford stopped selling the Endy for some few years, this has made a huge impact in people’s mindsets.
I guess you appreciate what you cant have!
Biturbo in australia was sweet

I just love Endeavor. Can't tell how much I love this true absolute India's one and only one SUV ❤❤
Please do a video on all the mahindra thar and its elder siblings
Will do
Thanks for the suggestion.
U cant talk about a thar without talking about cj6 also made by ford kid . Ford is the reason ur thar exists
So y'all couldn't find the first gen Ford Endeavour?.. launched in 2003 and on sale till late 2006.. coz that was good looking for its time. These gone but not forgotten are getting boring now!
Please do one episode for the honda civic fd as well
good idea!
UPDATE: ENDEAVOUR is coming to INDIA, NOT GONE, NEVER GONE. EVEREST will be here to reign
never gone!

Only Evo India could have come up with content like this. Hats off to Sirish & team.
Thank you!
Everest 😊
0:52 finally the Americans are off crack! 😂 .. it should have always been Ford Everest but for some stupid reason Ford decided to call it endeavour.. Ford has been so stupid after they were done launching Ikon. That was nice, the 1.6, hoot to drive.
The car which we loved like hell! The road presence, Performance,interior feel,looks each and everything was perfect!
Can you make an episode for OG SAFARI also
Yes soon 👍🏼
Yeah, wait till Toyota pull back from India, that will be total chaos.
Fortuner killer for a resion.
Beast 3.2
Dear mr sirish, thank you very much for another wonderful video. Best wishes to you and the team at Evo india always.
Everest was the original name, it was endeavor only for India.
Please revisit the fiesta similarily
when you'll announce evo 100kmph mysterybox contest winner ?
Announced long time back and done
Oh 😢
Everest❌ Endeavour✅
Still waiting for an episode on the Mitsubishi Pajero !!
It's on the edit desk. Will release two weeks from now...

Also consider Mitsubishi Pajero for this series!!!

You forgot the first gen of Endeavour

No I can't forget that easily
Waiting for fiesta
Fiesta is already done, check the gone but not forgotten playlist on this channel
I have 3.2 endeavour
Lovely
Ye sun sun kar pak chuke hain. Jab aa real me aa jayega tab batana yaar.
4:34 His confidence on Endeavour, I need this type of confidence in my life, lol.
His mouth expression too. 😅

Good amount of Information was shared by Surish Sir......!!!!!!!
hope you enjoyed it!
@@sirishch Yes. Definitely!!!!
The word endeavour has been a cult in India I think ford should carry on the same name
We will find out soon enough
If it crosses 60+ lakhs on road then i won't buy it. Will buy the fortuner 4×4 AT for 48 lakhs on road.
I think they had 10spd gearbox with 2019 update
Later in 2020 they split endeavour two variants sport with black grill and other with chrome grill and like sirish said completely discontinued 3.2 and 2.2
I was hoping you would have reviewed the first gen endeavour which released in 2003/2004. It had a dashboard similar to the qualis
I think the name doesn't matter
Do one on ford fiesta classic
Can you also make a video on Daewoo Cielo. It will be really a heart touching video for me as it was my Dad’s first car bought by him just a week before I was born. Lots of memories will be refreshed. Thank you
Come to think of it. Even in the used markets, the Endy 2nd gen commands a massive premium. In some states, it is higher than even the mighty T Fort. I guess, the lower cost of ownership from Ford and the massive appeal of the Endeavour is not helping the case of used car buyers like me :(
A 2020s ladder on frame rivals in a video would be a treat to watch , endi, pajero sport, fortuner, MUX force 1, alturas G4
Do a Toyota Corolla one!
Btw preowned Ford Endeavour are doing quite well, with prices on the higher side.
Memories are back 🔥😍
Glad you liked it !
So happy that Ford is back to India with their awesome SUV's.
Waiting 4 the Mighty Pajero's Video👍👍
Poor Zubin 😭
Kinda disappointed as i wont be able to afford a 70 lakh car 😢
Endeavour
That Hurricane was sooooooo better looking 😍
Make a gone but not forgotten episode on renault duster
American car manufacturers always leave 😂
Appreciate your efforts to bring Great content constantly
Endeavour name is more potent than Everest 🔥
