Mitsubishi, Chevrolet and Fiat must come back to India with an Indian perspective like Kia&Hyundai. So they can also mark their identity in Indian car market.
Awesome analysis. I think Ford might be thinking India as an experimental EV market where the consumer is also open to ideas and it can be a great learning for Ford, for their international models.
Ford F150 lighting 90+ EVs pre-booking got cancelled as the product was not value for money. Unlike USE, the Indian zero tail pipe emission ban is much longer than 2035, they can continue their profitable ICE business that they can't do in the USA, Europe or China.
India needs global product customised Indian way. I20 , Creta , all were initially meant for international market produced in India . But they gave it a try in India and rest is history.
I drove ecosport 3 days back to mayudiya pass.2.5km above sea level. Not a single stress on engine. Super smooth corners. Super comfortable. Drove almost 15hours continuously. No issues. Great experience
Comfort and safety are the key aspects of Ford , I seen Ford expedition 2023 model - really it’s great and no comparison. Bringing new gen Ford Ecosport / Endeavor / Explorer to India will definitely give tough competition to Mini SUV and SUV’s for major selling automotive groups. Good to hear Ford coming back to TN, besides new gen cars it helps in creating more job opportunities. Welcome back FORD.
Fortuner will not die anytime. It has a strong following even though it is overpriced as hell. The endeavor though is more feature packed and is worth the cash you pay. Regarding the longevity of the cars and engines, it all depends on how the owner keeps it. There are abused fortuners that are ruined and the same goes for other brands.
Thing with Ford was that their diesel engines were fantastic with decent power and superb mileage. The problem was with their petrol engines. Compared with the competition the mileage which one got from Ford's petrol engine was horrible. If they are able to fix that , they will do extremely well
I'm having Aspire petrol 2020 and I got the mileage of 18-19 on the highway at 70-80 speed so I don't think that's the issue but yes in high traffic it reduces to 8-9 KMPL. It's engine is also more powerful compared to Dzire or aura and it's a little heavy too, so it's fair enough I think
Ford used to give Ecosport with solid 5 star ⭐ rated with 6 air bags, even before TATA made their marketing on build quality. The problem is Ford did not market their product well, but Tata did extremely well that even Maruti is updating their cars with improved build quality.
If people had that issues the price of their existing preowned cars would have been crashed till now after 3 years of ford leaving india. But no their value is not going down in preowned market. So I don't think people have trust issues. Actually what happened in these 3 years is that people now know the value of ford better than before. The problem was lack of options in indian markets in mid suv segment and hatchback segments. If ford someohow manage to tackle that segment. Surely ford will explode it's sales in india @@venkata224

I have driven old gen Figo for 5 years & am driving Ecosport since Oct 2020. Hoping that they do make a comeback soon with cars like Endeavour & Ecosport with trending features in the Indian market. They should also think of launching Territory in the Indian market.
Not marketing... Their line up... Who the f wants ugly car like Figo in this era? Look at i20.. It's modern... Sexy... Ford can kill it by Ford Focus...
@UnitedNations-gk4rl957 American manufacturing is cheap because they sell more cars than Indians. If they manufacture in India they manufacturing cost will be way higher than America and after that they have to pay taxes which will easily take the cost over 50 lakhs and they will sell less than 1000 units per yr making the operation a disaster.
Had been to the service center recently and as per staff, Ford is planning to bring Endeavour 3.2 and 2.0, EcoSport Pertrol varient only and 2 EV varients, 1 hatchback and 1 SUV segment. Not sure how true this will turn out to be. But looking forward to their return!

@@sateeshram3186 How is Bronco too big for Indian roads when there's literally Thar roaming everywhere on street which is almost similar in size to Bronco?
As an owner of Ecosport, I am a great fan of Ford and I want Ford back. I love the handling and the driving quality so much that my next car also would be Ecosport(If Ford ecosport is launched)
I am a car enthusiast and Here are some feedback/suggestion i want to share to ford team. 1. According to my observations, right now in the indian Car market. Almost all the manufacturers have varients in petrol AMT or CVT but in diesel there is only manual transmission available (and this Gap is about 90% of the cars) I think ford can fill this gap with providing options like Diesel AMT or CVT. They also can provide all varients like Petrol, Diesel and EV for better diversification. 2. Secondly As per my observation in the indian car market, ford can play a right game of marketing in safety features like ADAS too attract customers towards them. 3. For cost cutting strategy they can provide practical features with PROPER TESTING (rather than gather too many features that confuse a beginning car buyer) that will add more value to their base varients and this also help to gain Trust of Car Buyers over ford. 4. I Learnt the consumer buying behaviour and found that there should be a hype and a delivery period for car to be deliver. Sorry if am sounding 😅 like that but from a brand prospective its just a suggestion
Alongwith cars mentioned by you for Ford comeback, they must consider a segment of 4.3m length , 5 seater and RWD setup, with muscular looks, engines capable of 150 BHP and 280 NM torque. A 4x4 with low transfer case must be an option. Believe me it will be a huge success.
I won the 2019 Ford Ecosport Titanium. I must tell you this car is a beast. We tried Brezza (Kachra), Nexon(Good but not that good), Honda CRV(Nice but small) at that time and Ford Ecosport stood the best! We miss u Ford! Get some more 4 meter SUVs in India 🙏
Run the Indian market the INDIAN way, notthe american way. Japanese and Koreans understood long back that Indian market is unique and strategies that worked in other countries may not work here. Hope they succeed. Ford has its flaws, but make better cars than a lot of other brands.
Japanese and Koreans will compromise quality to keep price low after so many taxes because their market share is big in India and it affects them. Ford will never compromise quality as their biggest market is USA. It’s their home brand and it’s well supported financially by their government and tax rules. They chose to leave India than lower their quality.
Thats exactly they should not be doing. They should make cars in limited quantity for the ppl who appreciate their cars and not try to attract the Maruti BHAKTs..
I'm very happy that Ford is coming back. In fact, I would want many other car brands make a comeback as well. This is because of the fact that our Indian brands are steadily making good cars and performing well in sales also. For example TATA, it was only 5-6 years back that TATA was nowhere near today in it's car sales, it was only in the Trucks and Buses. This is all well, BUT, this will slowly be gone as they (Indian Brands) acquire more market share. Why? Because then there will be no competition and that is bad for any industry to thrive. There must be a constant competition among INDIAN and International brands so that they both force each other to make better cars. Otherwise, once Indian brands acquire more than 50% market share, there will be a unanimous shift towards Monopoly.
For Indian brands to acquire more than 50% market share is going to be a huuuggeee task in itself considering the Duopoly kind of situation with Maruti n Hyundai. If you add in Kia, it becomes even more apparent
@@prasunshome7200 Maruti has been successful because they understood INDIAN customer which is very sensitive to price, but this is changing with the awareness of new car buyers towards safety and NCAP ratings and all. So, If Maruti fails to change it's image of producing unsafe cars, it will loose considerable market share very soon. Sooner or later, Maruti will have to produce safer cars and when that happens, price will also go up.

I have been wanting the new Endeavor to be sold in India for such a long time and after hearing this news, I was overjoyed! So glad they're finally coming back. Hope they sales are great and they are able to stick forever and bring even more and better cars to India. And for us Petrolheads, we all already know what we want, the new S650 Mustang to come to India 😉
Ford should bring back the new generation Figo. The batback market is very unattractive since Figo and Polo left. We have i20 N and Altroz Racer would be coming soon, but I doubt they'd be able to compete with Ford, especially on the Diesel end.
A sizeable segment of Indian customers have now started prioritising robust build, driving pleasure and ride quality over just economy. This bodes well for many international players. They already have a local supplier base here..
Its a good news, bringing back Ecosport with required upgradation and slightly changed look is a must for Ford. And another brand i want badly to entre the Indian market is Mazda. They have amazing cars in markets like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia. If they bring the CX 5 to india i think it will sell really well.
@@EshK-jh9hw man, CX-90 can compete with BMW X7 and merc GLS in terms of luxury. It's too good a car for Mazda. And MX5 will be an instant hit in India especially at a price point less than 1 crore. Mazda has some amazing models which can do very well in India, perfect cars they have. I don't know why they are not taking the risk to enter India.
Actually mazda should have partnered with Toyota like how they have a partnership in markets abroad.like Hyundai and kia. But Toyota has chosen suzuki. So the opportunity for mazda to enter has long gone. I think mazda has to partner with some Indian company to enter the Indian market
I believe that they just need 3 solid products to have good sale figures, somewhat like what Kia did. A sub 4m & 4.3m crossovers and a full size 4.6m SUV.
Ford needs 1 to 2 cars in the 10-20 lakh bracket (compact SUV & sedans) other than Endeavour otherwise they may have to go back again. They need one car which has demand like Innova Hycross or Creta. Indian consumer respects you if you make them wait.
Ford should bring Puma & Kuga immediately to India even if those are CBU. Puma is a truly amazing car, if people can buy Taigun for 20 Lakhs, Puma should sell well too considering it's priced within 18 Lakhs. I posted this comment before even watching your full video. Looks like I have the same opinion of you ! Cheers 😀
VW and Skoda should offer features like 360degree camera, blind view camera, front parking sensors and level 2 ADAS, in their cars which cost more than 20lakhs. I myself being a Polo owner, I am really interested in buying Virtus GT+ or Slavia DSG. But due to lack of these features, make driving in our city traffic and tight parking situations really difficult. So, I may end up buying a Seltos GT line 1.5 turbo DCT. And Taigun and Kushaq being in the segment of cars like Seltos, Creta, Grand Vitara, Elevate, Astor, etc, but looks very similar to Nexon, Breeza, Sonet, Venue, etc in terms of dimensions. So, for someone who is spending around 22.5 lakhs for the top end variants, wouldn't get the road presence of this hefty price tag. Really VW and Skoda needs to understand the Indian market like KIA and Hyundai.
Remember in 2017, Chevrolet shown essentia and all new beat activv in their delhi auto show ... This were the products which were officially going to launch in india, but due to lower sales they left... But even after 4 years since they left their both production plants Gujarat and pune were still operational and functional for doing exports.. and guess what essentia and activ were also produced in that same plant but they were exported but never officially launched in india.... Same case with ford, i think they will create some export buisness here coz if they were planning for a comeback, they will have to develop new dealerships again... Still, lets see what happens in future
@@mudit1 yeah even our city has 2 showrooms out of which 1 is now a skoda dealership and other still has a ford logo coz service centre is attached there too
I completely agree with you man If Ford brings puma and kuga along with endeavour with appropriate pricing then there is a very high chance of Ford regaining a good Portion of market in no time And along with this a well updated and fresh looks for Eco sport should also be offered For small cars they can offer the updated fiesta but in low production Whenever there is demand only then the fiesta should be supplied
Everytime I see some video from Biturbo media, I believe it because there’s some amount of backing with regards to information so there’s less to fault and more to believe. Good work!
Bring back the Ecosport, Freestyle and introduce the Bronco. Make in India, provide multiple powetrain options, keep the prices affordable, and provide stellar safety features. This should be enough to achievable 2 lac + units a year, across all models. Ford needs to talk to it's endeavour and ecosport owners, to understand how much brand loyalty it has. Bad Indian management (that Mehrotra guy?) ruined Ford's prospects in India.
My first car was a 2012 January Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI. My second car was a 2021 October Ford Freestyle 1.2 Titanium If Ford brings Puma to India then it looks like the third will be that woo 💯
In my opinion, ford has really studied the market and most importantly their target customer's mindset and demographic behaviour well, hence they not only made good engineered products but kepyt up service and support levels vs pricing balance. This has helped preserve the love of people for them. This leaves them an opportunity to resurrect dead nameplates and gone legacies and the best place to do that is INDIA.
Ford Bronco Sport is a must for the Indian market. If priced competetively, it will give a major challenge to the Mahindra Scorpio and Thar as all of them are similar sized vehicles. Pricing is key for the Indian market and Ford should market their cars accordingly.
Only Mitsubishi can make successful comeback with their Pajero. Indians don't like Fiat, Chevrolet and neither do they have any good car for Indian market.
My father brought Ford Figo on 2012, still running smoothly and reliably without any major problems till 2024, its build, quality and safety features along with engine and steering capacity is what sold it. The car crashed into a building on 2024 at 30-50 km per hour or something and then, the front build of the car held up even 11 years later, the engine was surprisingly undamaged except the headlights. This car is an asset
A simple thing is that sanand plant was completely unnecessary justifying the sales numbers of Ford......but your discussion is elaborate, comprehensive and informative....kudos sir
The only option for Ford to survive 12:01 India is if they bring F150. Indians are crazy for good SUV now. Ford doesn't realize India is poor but Indians are not
Mitsubishi, Chevrolet and Fiat must come back to India with an Indian perspective like Kia&Hyundai. So they can also mark their identity in Indian car market.

I have been wanting the new Endeavor to be sold in India for such a long time and after hearing this news, I was overjoyed! So glad they're finally coming back. Hope they sales are great and they are able to stick forever and bring even more and better cars to India.
And for us Petrolheads, we all already know what we want, the new S650 Mustang to come to India 😉
We need Mustang 🐎 like that costs just around 45 lakhs in America.
It's approx 26 lakhs now for the base
@@STVolgs825 with the crappy 4 cylinder? No thanks
60% cess on bigger engines than 6 cylinder🤡 40% on engines bigger than 4 cylinder
AINTNOWAY I WANT TO SEE MUSTANGS ROAMING INDIAN ROADS LIKE FORTUNERS LOL
Highways dekha hai .
I'm from Bangalore at here it's great don't know how it's in Bihar@@gorillagas5546
Ford should bring back the new generation Figo. The batback market is very unattractive since Figo and Polo left. We have i20 N and Altroz Racer would be coming soon, but I doubt they'd be able to compete with Ford, especially on the Diesel end.
Well researched Video. Thanks bro. The puma was an exciting bit to watch. Keep up the good work bro.
A sizeable segment of Indian customers have now started prioritising robust build, driving pleasure and ride quality over just economy. This bodes well for many international players. They already have a local supplier base here..
Endevour be like : abb tu gaya fortuner 👽🔥🗿☠️☠️☠️☠️
Ford also need to launch the new mustang because in used car market the price is soo much than the real price.
Its a good news, bringing back Ecosport with required upgradation and slightly changed look is a must for Ford. And another brand i want badly to entre the Indian market is Mazda. They have amazing cars in markets like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia. If they bring the CX 5 to india i think it will sell really well.
Cx-90 can compete with cars such as Innova, compass and kodiaq. Also, imagine an MX5 in India!
i want a rear wheel drive car
@@EshK-jh9hw man, CX-90 can compete with BMW X7 and merc GLS in terms of luxury. It's too good a car for Mazda. And MX5 will be an instant hit in India especially at a price point less than 1 crore. Mazda has some amazing models which can do very well in India, perfect cars they have. I don't know why they are not taking the risk to enter India.
Actually mazda should have partnered with Toyota like how they have a partnership in markets abroad.like Hyundai and kia. But Toyota has chosen suzuki. So the opportunity for mazda to enter has long gone.
I think mazda has to partner with some Indian company to enter the Indian market
0:55 bhai idhar jo tumnhe graphics kiya he nah? Yeh Kaise karthe ho batayega pls?
Very well analysed. 👍
I do wish that Ford comes up with products other than Endeavor.
damn!!!! i just loved ford puma.....such a beautiful car
I believe that they just need 3 solid products to have good sale figures, somewhat like what Kia did. A sub 4m & 4.3m crossovers and a full size 4.6m SUV.
Ford needs 1 to 2 cars in the 10-20 lakh bracket (compact SUV & sedans) other than Endeavour otherwise they may have to go back again. They need one car which has demand like Innova Hycross or Creta. Indian consumer respects you if you make them wait.
Ford should bring Puma & Kuga immediately to India even if those are CBU. Puma is a truly amazing car, if people can buy Taigun for 20 Lakhs, Puma should sell well too considering it's priced within 18 Lakhs. I posted this comment before even watching your full video. Looks like I have the same opinion of you ! Cheers 😀
VW and Skoda should offer features like 360degree camera, blind view camera, front parking sensors and level 2 ADAS, in their cars which cost more than 20lakhs.
I myself being a Polo owner, I am really interested in buying Virtus GT+ or Slavia DSG. But due to lack of these features, make driving in our city traffic and tight parking situations really difficult. So, I may end up buying a Seltos GT line 1.5 turbo DCT.
And Taigun and Kushaq being in the segment of cars like Seltos, Creta, Grand Vitara, Elevate, Astor, etc, but looks very similar to Nexon, Breeza, Sonet, Venue, etc in terms of dimensions. So, for someone who is spending around 22.5 lakhs for the top end variants, wouldn't get the road presence of this hefty price tag. Really VW and Skoda needs to understand the Indian market like KIA and Hyundai.
last time we missed but this time i am buying ecosport.. one of the best budget car .... good news
Also me❤
Remember in 2017, Chevrolet shown essentia and all new beat activv in their delhi auto show ... This were the products which were officially going to launch in india, but due to lower sales they left... But even after 4 years since they left their both production plants Gujarat and pune were still operational and functional for doing exports.. and guess what essentia and activ were also produced in that same plant but they were exported but never officially launched in india.... Same case with ford, i think they will create some export buisness here coz if they were planning for a comeback, they will have to develop new dealerships again... Still, lets see what happens in future
I don't think Ford dealership are closed in India many are still open but they do only service for example many like these are in my city too
@@mudit1 they are service centers bro
@@cars_squad2223 but these dealership buildings are not sold off too they still have Ford logo
@@mudit1 yeah even our city has 2 showrooms out of which 1 is now a skoda dealership and other still has a ford logo coz service centre is attached there too
@@cars_squad2223 yeah I think the dealerships with attached service centre are not yet closed , hope they come soon bring there beasty cars
We need a quality vehicle manufacturer as the current players are spending less on manufacturing quality vehicles and spending more on PR
I think they also saw the growth of Skoda and VW after they released cars as per the Indian market, they might also want to milk this last chance
I completely agree with you man
If Ford brings puma and kuga along with endeavour with appropriate pricing then there is a very high chance of Ford regaining a good Portion of market in no time
And along with this a well updated and fresh looks for Eco sport should also be offered
For small cars they can offer the updated fiesta but in low production
Whenever there is demand only then the fiesta should be supplied
Puma would sell like crazy🎉 actually ford didn't make a proper product selection at proper time
They will not do it this time too. They will again run back.
Everytime I see some video from Biturbo media, I believe it because there’s some amount of backing with regards to information so there’s less to fault and more to believe. Good work!
Same here
Not this video, unfortunately
New ecosport facelift is enough to challenge all its rivals in its segment. Endeavour will also capture a lot of market share.
Ford ecosport and endeavour please 😭🔥
Owner of New Ford Fogo Petrol since 2016. Really nice Car with no complain like " Family wali Feeling".Overall a happy customer.
I am very happy to listen Ford is back. Because Ford is different from others.
Ford should bring the Fiesta Hatchback as Swift/i20 rival, Explorer for Creta/Seltos rival & Focus as a VW Polo replacement
Finally Fortuner Father is Coming ❤❤❤❤❤THE ONLY LEGEND FORD ENDEAVOR❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can't wait for the mustang and Mach e to come to India. Imagine the splash they'd make. And the fortuner would get insane competition
Mustang 😩🤌🏻
We can hope. They have such beauties in their stable.
most probably only cbu
Because low denand and very high taxes even on locally produced cars
Mustang discontinued good globally I think
@@subhadipmishra4989 There is a new Mustang model now.
Bring back the Ecosport, Freestyle and introduce the Bronco. Make in India, provide multiple powetrain options, keep the prices affordable, and provide stellar safety features. This should be enough to achievable 2 lac + units a year, across all models.
Ford needs to talk to it's endeavour and ecosport owners, to understand how much brand loyalty it has. Bad Indian management (that Mehrotra guy?) ruined Ford's prospects in India.
Freestyle was sooo good, a proper driver's car
Good news that Ford coming back, hoping more and more models they may bring
My first car was a 2012 January Ford Figo 1.4 TDCI.
My second car was a 2021 October Ford Freestyle 1.2 Titanium
If Ford brings Puma to India then it looks like the third will be that woo 💯
Everest (Endeavour) would be the only competitor in India of overpriced Fortuner and would definitely make a hit in sales of Toyota.
Toyota is toyota. It always rule.
@@Maxine842chapri overpriced fortuner fan spotted 🤡
I agree, even till this date endeavour has decent looks, and is competitive with overpriced fortuner
@@Maxine842 Toyota interiors are from 90's 😅
ckd bechoge ek saal 🤡jab tak local manufacture nhi kroge tab tak nhi jagah bana paoge aslo ground reality aur youtube ki duniya mei farak hai
In my opinion, ford has really studied the market and most importantly their target customer's mindset and demographic behaviour well, hence they not only made good engineered products but kepyt up service and support levels vs pricing balance. This has helped preserve the love of people for them. This leaves them an opportunity to resurrect dead nameplates and gone legacies and the best place to do that is INDIA.
If they get the Focus and all its variants, that itself should get them a good market share among the general public + affluent sector
Bro I'm not event auto enthusiast but your videos really feels very informative. ❤
Bronco ko bhi lani chahiye to compete with Defender & G-Wagon.
People with budget of fortuner & endevour will be the most happy 😅
Ford Bronco Sport is a must for the Indian market. If priced competetively, it will give a major challenge to the Mahindra Scorpio and Thar as all of them are similar sized vehicles. Pricing is key for the Indian market and Ford should market their cars accordingly.
Very good analysis.
And most importantly a good presentation.

I think FIAT, CHEVROLET, MITSUBISHI should make a Comeback....
I MISS ECOSPORT, Aspire and Classic
Only Mitsubishi can make successful comeback with their Pajero. Indians don't like Fiat, Chevrolet and neither do they have any good car for Indian market.
Chevrolet and Fiat are jokes, but definitely Mitsubishi can make a comeback with Pajero
Fortuner ke papa aane wale h 😈👿
Land cruiser?
Endeavour
Budddyy!!!
Land rover@@Muhsin-ox1vj
Pajero kaab jayega?
They also have to continue with Ford Ecosport... which is their lucky charm in India 🇮🇳.
I hope Ford offers the 2.0 Biturbo diesel but also the larger 3.0 V6 diesel in India as well.
Ford Eco- Sport wapas ani chahiye....❤
Great information appreciated 👍
So many car company leave India. Thanku government of India for such high taxes that results into joblessness and limiting consumer choices😢
Chevrolet Cruze was a legendary car and I would buy it as soon as it's available
My father brought Ford Figo on 2012, still running smoothly and reliably without any major problems till 2024, its build, quality and safety features along with engine and steering capacity is what sold it. The car crashed into a building on 2024 at 30-50 km per hour or something and then, the front build of the car held up even 11 years later, the engine was surprisingly undamaged except the headlights. This car is an asset
Endeavour is my favourite car.
I am soo happy Ford come back in India
Bro Ford ko apni focus bhi Lani chahiye India me ❤
Happy to discover a Hindi youtube channel with quality language practices. Acchi Hindi, Bina banawatipan ya nakal ke.
Yaar indian and other manufacturers should start launching pick up truck segment of india .... Its will best snd records breaking in no
Anyday I will buy endeavour over fortuner
Ford ne mind game khela... India chhodkar jane ke baad Indians ko Ford ki value samjana tha...😂
We need Mustang 🐎
A simple thing is that sanand plant was completely unnecessary justifying the sales numbers of Ford......but your discussion is elaborate, comprehensive and informative....kudos sir
Love to see them coming back but If they return with Diesel engines, they are going to struggle with hardening government policies
Waiting for chevy cruze Diesel
Excited for FORD ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Imagine if Ford Bronco came to INDIA 🔥🔥🔥🔥
nehi hone wala. They are probably going to make product for other markets and sell only the big SUV like Endy in India. Thats all.
Ford must bring its Endeavour and F150 Raptor to competw against Fortuner and Hilux. Ecosport with ne gen. will also be a good option
The only option for Ford to survive 12:01 India is if they bring F150. Indians are crazy for good SUV now. Ford doesn't realize India is poor but Indians are not
