Maybe what they need is a 5 seat version with FWD and a petrol model to reduce the price and allow this car to be competitive.

All the cars I linked have a 4x4/AWD option around the 45k mark. Even if the Endura comes standard with AWD it's still a good 5k off the mark for the lower end of town.

Even if the Endura comes standard with AWD it's still a good 10k off at the upper end of town, assuming the prices quoted for it are real.

What does the extra 5/10k get you the other cars dont have? It's also not like Ford is the bedrock of reliability/quality that allows them to demand a premium.

... or brand status, or customer experience, or retained value

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I thought you had to earn the right to a premium before you began charging for one.

This name isn't set in concrete yet, there is another name - Equator.

Fair chance none of the details in the trademark are correct. Price for one, because they will want to keep that secret until it's released surely?

I'd be shocked if it was 50k when the Territory was 38k?

And 75K for the top model, that's Everest Titanium money.

They could call it the Expletive, because of what you will say to the dealer after they give you the price.

Not with the diesel it won't. Maybe if they offered the 2.7 twin turbo V6 like the do in the US it would.
