The new generation Ford Everest is such an eye-candy! This car has looked good in the past but with the new generation coming in, it's looking better than ever. In this article, we would look at the best bits of the Everest starting from the outside to the inside.
Let's start with the Everest's new design that looks squared off and muscular with its corners. It looks more robust and more powerful. It huge looks are also complemented by a wider track of 50 mm more for better handling and stability. On the onset, this new gen is already bigger than the previous model. It is wider and has more ground clearance. It's no surprise to know that this car has that water-wading capability if you're into that kind of stuff. To me, the main highlight of the Everest's exterior is the front grill with the horizontal bar which can be in matte black or chrome, and the C-shaped headlights. At the back, there is the wrap-around LED taillamps and the redesigned tailgate. There's also roof rails which makes the Everest the perfect practical and recreational vehicle with a rack or an awning for weekend glamping. It looks a bit like the Bronco, and perhaps, Ford might introduce a Raptor version of this beauty.
Inside the Everest, you will be greeted by a huge LCD panel, which can be a horizontal 10- or 12-inch infotainment system, depending on the model you're getting. This panel can be connected to the latest Ford Pass app, so you whole car is already connected with your smartphone. The new dashboard complements the infotainment system, making you feel like the Everest is a car from the future. Plush and premium finishes are found everywhere. Power charging outlets are found in all three rows of the car which still seats seven people. There are also a lot of space in this vehicle. Pushing a button, seats can be folded to make space, or check out the underfloor storage compartment to store things you'd usually put in your car.
Getting inside-inside of the car reveals engine options that can be placed in your Everest. It can be a single turbo 2.0 engine, or a bi-turbo one, which can be associated too with the Ranger Raptor. These produce enough power and torque for everyday driving on paved roads, unpaved roads, or even no roads at all. Of course, like the Everest of the past, it has a 4x4 variant which goes with the bi-turbo engine, and is paired with a 10-speed AT, while the single turbo comes with a 6-speed AT and is a 4x2. Either way, select the type of Everest you think suits you best.
