I can’t see how the name is any worse than Kluger, Sportage or Tucson.

Ford said " Endura is short for Endurance."

I like it. Looks bigger than the super-popular Toyota Rav 4, so more in line with the Land Cruiser Prado.

Edge / Endura will be built in Oakville Assembly Plant, Canada, not Ford Europe.
an up to date 2.0 diesel and 8-speed auto or 6-speed manual Hopefully, the 2.0 Ecoboost and 8-speed auto coming to North America joins RHD production. |

Have had the pre facelift Endura ST-Line in NZ for a few months now, they look good. The face lift ones will look even better judging by the photo's.
Stupid name though, I would have to debadge it. |

Bring the Explorer and F-Truck over to complete the family, and scrap the third world Everest. Then I’ll visit a ford dealer. Nothing in the range is exciting to drive or own, bar the mustang and even that’s debatable

Endura will be a flop. You have to offer good looks, good performance/economy and a very good price to get market share. If ford do a premium price then punters will pay a bit more and get a BMW X1 or x3. Ain’t going to happen.

I feel your frustration though. It is a massive gap in the Ford lineup, and isn't really a Territory replacement either because it lacks the 7 seat layout. And this from the brand that is focusing on SUV's ![]()

I agree, the Ford website calls it premium, and Whickman ( the x CEO ) was on record saying it’ll be premium also ![]() It’ll be a flop if it’s $70,000 no doubt. |

it was never going to be a direct territory replacement, but I though at least it would occupy the same price point.
