![Is Fuel Economy the Ford Everest's Strong Suit? 01]()
You don't climb a mountain of debt just to fill up this car. Believe it or not, the outgoing Ford Everest is a reasonable vehicle when it comes to fuel economy. Different tests have shown different results but here is a basic rundown.
As you know, the previous generation Everest had two engine options available. There's the 2.0-liter single-turbo diesel engine which was paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission in the Titanium and Sport 4x2. This engine produced about 180 ps and 420 Nm of torque. It actually racked a decent 9 to 10 kilometers per liter in the city and about 15-16 kilometers per liter on the highway. These figures, for reference, are not far from that of a typical compact sedan. But if you think this engine in the old Everest is good, take a look at its Bi-turbo sister.

The 2.0L Bi-turbo diesel engine in the Titanium 4x4 was also paired with the same 10-speed automatic. It produced 213 ps and 500 Nm of torque. With those many gears, this Everest variant was touted to be even more fuel-efficient versus the power it could produce.
From a comparable 8 kilometers per liter in the slow-moving traffic of the city, to about 19 kilometers per liter on the highway, the Everest Bi-turbo option seems even more compelling. Now that's power plus efficiency!
To sum up, the old Everest can feel like it's burning more fuel than it should when you're driving it in the city. But once it gets onto the highways and expressways, you'll realize you're getting what you paid for. It even pays back in dividends as it brings your family and friends safely from point A to Z, in an economical and efficient way.
Is the outgoing Ford Everest fuel-efficient enough for you?

With the new generation Everest now here, and having the same engine and transmission configuration, it might produce similar results when it comes to efficiency. Although keep in mind that it has a wider track and is a tad bigger than the previous iteration of the Everest. Still, driving the Everest makes you not worry about these figures, just like what Marvin Gaye says, there ain't no mountain high enough.
