The new generation 2024 Ford Endeavour (Everest) retains the classic vibes while incorporating new technology and features. At the front, you will see the familiar upright look with a straight bonnet and a large front grille covered in chrome or all-black, depending on the variant. The front headlights feature a range matrix function with LED daytime running lights (DRLs), and the lower part of the bumper houses the ADAS sensor and a grey-colored skid plate.
On the side, the 2024 Endeavour is larger and more imposing than its predecessor, measuring 4.91 meters in length, surpassing the other cars like Fortuner.
The new Endeavour will have a complete SUV look, with prominent 21 inch big wheels, straight window lines, and a straight roofline with roof bars. Similar to many other American SUVs, the variant badging is located on the lower part of the front door. The base trim comes with 17-inch 5-spoke alloys, while the Titanium trim, intended for India, features 20-inch wheels, and the top-of-the-line Platinum trim boasts 21-inch wheels.
