The answer all depends on what you call off-road driving, Javed. The Ford Everest, being based on the Ranger, is a very competent off-roader. In fact, it’ll handle anything most owners would ever throw at it, while the Endura is more of a replacement for the Ford Territory. Meaning it has abilities better matched to a trip to the snow, not a true log-jumping, river-fording off-road journey.

The Sante Fe is more of the same (as the Endura) that is; a car that can cope with gravel roads and slippery surfaces, but not the rough and tumble of the Aussie bush. So it really comes down to how far off road you need to go. And if the answer is a long way, even if it’s just occasionally, then the Everest is your best choice.

To change the Ford Edge key battery, push the button on the smart key and remove the manual key. Then, using a flat-head screwdriver, prise the two halves of the battery apart by twisting the screwdriver in the end of the smart key where the manual key was removed from. Once the key is apart, replace the battery with a fresh #CR2450 battery and clip the key back together.

The Ford Edge (sold in Australia and New Zealand as the Endura) is available in both front wheel drive and all wheel drive. With no low range or locking hub options the mid-size SUV is not considered to have 4WD even though the all wheel drive system turns all four wheels.
