Ford Everest Launches in Argentina - India Launch Around the Corner

Ford Endeavour has now been launched in Argentina as the Everest SUV. Before this, the 7-seater SUV was available in New Zealand, Australia, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East region. Now, it will be exported to Argentina after being produced in Thailand. The local manufacturing of Everest in Argentina is yet to be confirmed. Pre-sales are scheduled to start in March 2025. Prices will also be announced during the same month.

Speculations suggest that Ford Endeavour will return in the Indian market, (which could be renamed Ford Everest), most probably this year.

It is powered by the 2.3-litre turbo EcoBoost petrol engine, producing a maximum power of 296 bhp and 446 Nm of torque. The transmission choice includes a 10-speed automatic gearbox. It offers multiple off-road capabilities with shift-on-the-fly, 4X4 drivetrain, low-range gearing along with the locking rear differential.

Ford Everest Launch in India

This is already confirmed that Ford Endeavour is going to come back to India. However, the India-spec model could be different from the international models. It is expected to be powered by a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, delivering 250 bhp and 600 Nm of peak torque. It is also said that the Ford Everest in India could also get a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine for the lower trims. The twin-turbo motor will be produced locally at the brand's Sanand facility in Gujarat while the V6 engine will be imported from South Africa.
