The new Ford Everest has arrived, and it brings with it a bold statement in the world of SUVs. This month, Edwin D’Souza explores the latest iteration of the Everest which builds on its robust heritage with enhancements in technology, performance, and design making it standout in its class.
Driving to the Ford showroom to pick up the new Ford Everest, I couldn’t help but have a sense of excitement. This is a vehicle that commands respect and I was positive it would be a thrill to drive.
At first glance, the new Ford Everest exudes a presence with its muscular build and modern aesthetics. The front fascia features a bold grille with a refined chrome finish, flanked by sleek LED headlights for heightened visibility and a contemporary touch. The sculpted hood and pronounced wheel arches convey strength and capability, while the clean lines and aerodynamic profile enhance its visual appeal.
Its side profile showcases its impressive stance, supported by large alloy wheels that offer both style and functionality. The high ground clearance not only adds to its rugged look but also ensures it can handle rough terrains with ease. In fact, the Everest’s advanced 4x4 system, coupled with its Terrain Management System, allows drivers to tackle a wide array of terrains with confidence as it adjusts its performance to ensure optimal traction and stability.
The new Ford Everest’s interior balances luxury with practicality making it ideal for families and adventurers alike. The cabin, which seats up to seven occupants, is spacious and features soft-touch surfaces, premium leather upholstery, and tasteful accents which create an inviting atmosphere.
Under the hood of the new Ford Everest lies a range of powerful and efficient engines designed to deliver exceptional performance across various driving conditions. The available powertrains include a petrol engine that combines impressive torque with fuel efficiency, making it well-suited for both on-road cruising and off-road adventures.
Behind the wheel, I soon discovered that it delivers an experience that is both smooth and responsive. The refined suspension system effectively absorbs bumps and road imperfections. I also appreciated the precise steering and well-tuned chassis which offered excellent handling.
A suite of advanced technologies that enhance convenience, connectivity and safety amplifies this already incredible experience. Seeing as safety is paramount, Ford has equipped the new Everest with an array of features designed to protect occupants and enhance driver confidence. The Ford Co-Pilot360 suite includes advanced driver-assist technologies such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking. Additionally, the Everest’s robust construction and multiple airbags provide a strong safety net in the event of an impact. A rearview camera, parking sensors, and 360-degree camera system simplify parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces, further enhancing the vehicle’s safety profile.
At the heart of the dashboard is the SYNC 4 infotainment system, featuring a large touchscreen with intuitive controls and seamless smartphone integration. For audiophiles, the Everest comes with a premium sound system that delivers crisp and immersive audio quality.
After putting the Ford Everest through its paces, it was clear why it stands out as a versatile and capable SUV. Ford has truly crafted an SUV that caters to the diverse needs of modern drivers, cementing the Everest’s position as a leader in its class.
