Ford offers the SUV in 3 variants in a price range ofRs 19 - Rs 23 lakhs.A more upmarket Endeavour with a new engine is expected to be launched soon, which might be slightly pricier.

Ford Ecosport

Ecosport, on the other hand is a compact SUV offered in two-row configuration, with seating for only five besides cargo space of 346 litres. Based on a car-like platform, this modern SUV has better handling and fuel economy than the old off-road- focused models.

Ford Ecosport features including keyless entry, reverse parking system with audio and visual feedback, advanced climate control and the latest Ford SYNC driver connect system is also seen in an Ecosport.

Summary

Both are good SUVs no doubt, but Ecosport takes the lead when it comes to sales and popularity. Its compact dimensions make it an easy-to-manoeuvre vehicle especially in an urban environment. The huge size of the Endeavour may not fit in everyone’s parking lot and it is pretty difficult to movethis car in crowded cities. Moreover Ecosport gets an overall attractive design and it is pretty cheap at Rs 6-10 lakhs compared to the former. Ecosport is currently a best seller in the country.
