The latest generation of the Ford Everest SUV, previously sold in India as the Ford Endeavor, recently made its global debut. The full-size SUV continues to share its underpinnings with the Ford Ranger pickup truck. Both the models share similarities in design, interior, features and engine options as well.
The design of the new generation Everest has been completely changed; It now has a boxier front end and a larger grille with a horizontal bar in the middle that extends to the Matrix LED headlights. While there are similarities with the older model when viewed in profile, the new Everest certainly has a more squared-off design, with a more straight and pointed rear end as well as a stronger shoulder line.
Dimensionally, the new Everest is 50 mm wider and has a 50 mm longer wheelbase than its predecessor. Not only does it offer better interior space, but also a more stable driving experience.
On the inside, the new, upright dashboard is now dominated by a portrait-oriented 12-inch touchscreen that runs on Ford’s latest SYNC 4A infotainment system and a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster.
The 2022 Ford Everest comes with a lot of features, including ambient lighting in the new top-spec Platinum trim, ventilated front seats, wireless charging, automatic climate control, Ford Pass Connected Car technology, a panoramic sunroof, USB charging points in all three models, and more. row, 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, cooled glovebox, power folding third-row seats and a powered tailgate.
Engine options on the new Everest include two 2.0-litre turbo-diesel units (a single turbo and a twin-turbo version) and a new 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel, like the new Ranger. Ford has yet to announce official power and torque figures for the engines for the new Everest. Gearbox options include a 6-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic, depending on the engine and trim. The Everest will also be available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive layouts, depending on the trim.
