The Endeavour is the best SUV in my opinion too. But then, I can't stop looking at the Kodiaq - it's just so elegant & no-nonsense. It appeals to the perfectionist in me.
Loved the review! One thing i do not agree on though is the ride quality verdict..i felt the endeavour is much better than the fortuner in the city..cause it absorbs bumps very well.. But on the highway since the fortuner has a stiffer suspension it feels a tad bit more stable that the endeavour...regardless..i felt the endeavour has the best overall ride quality...
The Guy is Smarter than many other Automotive journalist , spot on words , rather than tailing things around. few reasons why i still watch OVERDRIVE videos , apart from their few wrong biased decisions aka Paid.. but just FEW
Endeavour needs to Shed weight. F-150 shares similar chassis in US , they have now introduced aluminium parts within the chassis which helped weight reduction and hence more performance more fuel efficiency and less carbon footprint. Ford can also update the infotainment system like the one in Ecosport. The seats in Kodiaq seems the best. Ford Ecoblue Diesel with 10 speed automatic and the new aluminium chassis can increase the Price but if that can save the environment , improve performance handling and have better economy it will be the best SUV. Ford can also has a V6 diesel in markets overseas but India gets this old Motor?? Ford should update some of the missing features like electric foldable mirror, Push button start an Option for manual( with clutch Gearbox as good as a petrol hatch so that it can harness enough sales and the interiors should also be black without skimmed features). The smaller SUVs like Jeep are gonna eat up this SUV segment , And Full sized SUV's with Fuel efficient motors means people will think twice before buying 5 seater SUV's. Ford has the products and technologies but doesn't offer the Best For Indian market.
Long term reliability. The fortuner is based on hilux, a truck that cannot break down even if you try to ..... that would be the difference once each of these vehicles cross 80k kms
Fortuner is best in this trio, endeavor can't do offroad like fortuner, see endeavor vs fortuner offroad test, fortuner on avg sales in india 2100 units per month while edeovour only sells 500 units in india avg per month, also resale value of endeavor is almost 30 percent less than fortuner .
wrong Endeavor can do offroad better if it had MT in 3.2 TDCi, the 2.2 TDCi 4x4 Manual of Endeavor can easily hang on beat the Fortuner with that Watts Link rear setup Now regarding the sales, its purely based on Toyotas brand reputation not because the car is better, just like how the Corolla which is a stupid CRAP sells 4x times comapred to much much much much better Skoda Octavia
codenamearun Fortuner is definitely the sales king of this segment by a huge margin in India .. but that is not because fortuner is better than endeavour.. that is primarily due to the bhakt mentality .. apart from fuel economy endeavour is better in almost every way than the fortuner. Looks are subjective and that is a seperate issue. How you have gotten this idea that fortuner is better off road than endeavour is surprising.. in Australia where the endeavour / everest was developed and in other international markets endeavour is competing with Toyota Prado not fortuner in performance, pricing and class. Most expensive variant of fortuner is cheaper than cheapest variant of endeavour. Please judge with open mind and maximum info.
Toyota has the resale price in that way fortuner will be the winner and endeavour is hulk safest one by the body design, atlast technology wise kodiaq wins..
Thats exactly how i thot endeavour must be the winner..not sure how fortuner manages to sell on high numbers despite of its overly designed body ..ford endeavour m a big fan of yours
Very true winner of the test...real world experience and owners appreciate endeavour over fortuner in ride quality and interior quality plus excellent sound system with 10 speaker setup.
Endeavor is the best choice among 3 .. Fortuner will stand high with reliability and resale value .. kodiaq will meet the faith of yeti sooner or later
there is a flaw in the middle seat of this vehicle the seat belt bucckels dont fold and they are protruded out all the time and u can feel the pinch of the hump in ur rear all the time if sitting tight with three passangers or kids wish to lay flat on the middle seat so the practicality for long run use is zero for a family.. of the middle seat . the rear buckles do fold with the seat but the middle one. I ASKED FOR PEOPLE and the Field engineer inspected the same at bhopal workshop raised hand .. what they did wrong is that they used hard wired bucckle that dont fold nor the groover between the seat is big enogh knotch to hold the buckle if lowered so they are out of seat all the time and thus the middle seat looses the practical utility.. secondly the MRF tyre are a totall misfit in the vehicle i had in row two tyres bursted in 24 hours time met a major accident and the vehicle remained stranded at BHOPAL workshop my dashcam recorded the live footage of accident too.. the vehicle is under repairs for over 2 months now. THEY DONT HAVE SPARE PARTS and most of them are imported or stock awaited so one should keep this in mind if they believe your review.. else what you said in the review is perfectly all right. my vehicle was just 2500km driven and in was returning from bhopal to jaipur when tyre bursted and i lost controll over the steering as it was hard and cannot depress the breaks so no mauverabliltiy.
When buying a 40 lakh vehicle then you should consider resale value. Endeavour wont fetch more than 10L after 5 years but fortuner will easily get you 22-25 lacs resale value.
There are 2 suv which does not sell in india. One is kia sorento and other is mazda cx9. In front of these above suvs the ones u have lised will lose the race.

D Mukherji did you say no non sense? A:fortuner.
A great option for the x1 and q3 takers
D Mukherji yes very true
Agree..!!! The Endeavour is the ultimate road king🥇
buy endeavour keep 1 lakh premium you would have paid for fortuner for its fuel bills
Loved the review! One thing i do not agree on though is the ride quality verdict..i felt the endeavour is much better than the fortuner in the city..cause it absorbs bumps very well..

Endy still holds the crown...beast
I didn't like the fortuner design initially. Now it is one of my favourite design of all time.
There is always...always a difference between reviewing, commenting (on TH-cam) and BUYING ..keep that in mind fellas

Yeah, endeavour rocks!!

Jithu Godwin wish this was us
... Ford Endeavour is simply awesome ...
Long term reliability. The fortuner is based on hilux, a truck that cannot break down even if you try to ..... that would be the difference once each of these vehicles cross 80k kms
wrong
Already I ve seen Fortuners with issues , so how come you say a thing on reliability
Sukant Chakraborty there's the problem my friend based on hilux the ride quality got screwed and no doubt the toyota is reliable but it's an ugly suv
Is ford breakable ?? F150 platform ..endeavour is the best
Kodiaq lovers!!
great review ! enjoyed it. Endeavour wins.
Nice video and I totally agree with the Ford being the best one vehicle here 👍
Fortuner is best in this trio, endeavor can't do offroad like fortuner, see endeavor vs fortuner offroad test, fortuner on avg sales in india 2100 units per month while edeovour only sells 500 units in india avg per month, also resale value of endeavor is almost 30 percent less than fortuner .

I love all toyota cars like fortuner, innova crysta , harrier, Rush, altis corolla , yaris best cars in the world
Toyota has the resale price in that way fortuner will be the winner and endeavour is hulk safest one by the body design, atlast technology wise kodiaq wins..
Thats exactly how i thot endeavour must be the winner..not sure how fortuner manages to sell on high numbers despite of its overly designed body ..ford endeavour m a big fan of yours
Ford endeavour 🔥🔥🔥
Finally someone not biased in judgment!! 👍🏻
Endeavor is love 🔥♥
Kishan Bhimani yes it is. Getting it tomorrow ❤️
Very true winner of the test...real world experience and owners appreciate endeavour over fortuner in ride quality and interior quality plus excellent sound system with 10 speaker setup.
Yes, endi is a good car. But there are few things making me to think.
1.) Headlamps. There is no led.
2.) No adjustable steering
3.) No start/stop?
Thanks for the long over due comparison.
Excellent review, I like the Ford Endeavour too.
Excellent review by OVERDRIVE instead of these 3 Endeavour is best i love to drive Ford Endeavour .
ford endeavour lovers hit like
Kodiaq is like child between parents

Ford endevour all the way
Great review. Thanks to OD and
Rohit Paradkar.
Yess. Spot On
Our Indian population is like this,
They will buy the worst car even if it dosent have any trump card, but for the badge and over rated peace of mind
Fortuner is *over rated*
aamil Khan nope it vfm
I don't think it has Sunroof, Bigger Engine, Roomy interior.
When buying a 40 lakh vehicle then you should consider resale value. Endeavour wont fetch more than 10L after 5 years but fortuner will easily get you 22-25 lacs resale value.
Needed a vehicle with ford endeavour look,fortuner technology,kodiaq interior anything available in the market,,,,
Kodiaq for more features
Endeavour for power and 4x4
Fortuner is the G(OLD) overall king.
GOLD..oh..gosh people are so blind and fooled by brand royalty and loyalty nowadays
Completely Agree...
Skoda is class n kodiaq is king
@rohit awesome review
Kodiaq😚
When i first saw the kodiaq on road i thought it must be around 25 lakhs, but now i come to know that it costs 42 lakhs.
Not worth
The fortuner is not an SUV!! It is a Toyota Corolla on steroids.... And the KodiaQ is more of a soft roader than the off-roader!!!
s DC7 no it doesn't share its components with carolla its based on a pick up truck hilux and I hate fortuner
There are 2 suv which does not sell in india. One is kia sorento and other is mazda cx9. In front of these above suvs the ones u have lised will lose the race.
Kodiaq and fortuner best SUV endeavour 👎
Toyota all cars are best and awsome looking
U should have brought the MU-X too!!!
If the fortuner had a bit more features
Tiguan???
Has anyone purchased a Kodiaq?
I love fortuner and innova crysta is best SUV in the world
Fortuner was awsome and best
yessssss endeavour wins
Toyota cars are superb
Endeavor
I love endeavour
Ford endeavour no 1
Fortuner is best
Endeavour is a king of SUV...
Fortuner much better than both
Fortuner was Best SUV in the world
how Endeavour , when it gives such a pathetic mileage ???
MH20❤❤
Where's MITSUBISHI PAJERO!!!!
Fortuner is Market leader fortuner is best suv in this segment
