Ford Everest 2023 Platinum
Based on the new Ranger ute, the Blue Oval has confirmed the Everest starts at $52,990 before on-road costs for the Ambiente 4×2 five-seater and extend to $77,690 before on-road costs for the V6 turbo-diesel Platinum 4×4 seven-seater. Show UPDATE 13/09/2022, 12:20pm – Our review of the new Everest goes live this afternoon at 3pm. We’ve pulled this story forward, and have updated the safety section to reflect the car’s new five-star ANCAP rating. For entry- and mid-level Ambiente and Trend models, pricing between the old- and new-generation models has increased by between $2900 and $3200. Like the Ranger, the new-generation Everest is available with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel producing 184kW of power and 600Nm of torque. The bigger engine is available in Sport and Platinum trim levels. The V6 turbo-diesel Everest produces 170Nm more torque than the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, 150Nm more than the Isuzu MU-X, and 100Nm more than the Toyota Fortuner and top-selling Prado. The Australian-developed and Thai-sourced Everest, unlike the Ranger, is only available with a full-time on-demand four-wheel drive system with a two-speed electromechanical transfer case. It also has selectable drive modes, an available integrated trailer braking controller, more interior technology, and a plug-in hybrid-ready architecture – though there’s no PHEV option as yet. Ford has confirmed the new Everest has a maximum braked towing capacity of 3500kg across the entire range. Payload is up to 741kg, gross vehicle mass (GVM) is up to 3150kg, and gross combination mass (GCM) is 6250kg across the entire range. All variants of the Everest are available with seven seats. A seven-seat interior is optional on the entry-level Ambiente and standard across the rest of the range. At this stage there isn’t an Everest Raptor, due to customers knocking the idea on the head with a lack of interest preventing the project from getting off the ground. Speaking with CarExpert earlier in 2022, Ian Foston, Ford’s T6 chief platform engineer, said the lack of demand meant the company didn’t spend much time on the idea when asked whether an Everest Raptor had legs.
Pricing
All prices include luxury car tax if applicable, but exclude on-road costs.
EnginesThe 2022 Ford Everest is available with two turbo-diesel powertrains: a 2.0-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder and a 3.0-litre V6. These engines are both available on the Ranger ute. Standard on the Ambiente and Trend trim levels is the familiar 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four-cylinder engine producing 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque. This is 3kW less than the outgoing Everest, while torque is unchanged. This is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available in rear- or full-time four-wheel drive configurations. The Ranger with this Bi-Turbo engine is only available with a part-time four-wheel drive system. Standard on the Sport and Platinum is the new 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine which produces 184kW and 600Nm. This is also mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, with drive exclusively sent through a full-time four-wheel drive system. 4×4 featuresUnlike the Ranger, the Everest is only available with a full-time four-wheel drive system with a two-speed electromechanical transfer case featuring 2H, 4H and 4L modes, plus a 4A automatic mode that can be used on high-traction surfaces like paved roads. This 4A mode when selected can continuously distribute power between the front and rear axles for “optimum performance in all on-road conditions”. Essentially, it behaves like an all-wheel drive car in 4A. There’s also an electronic locking rear differential on four-wheel drive models that can be activated through the infotainment touchscreen. All 4×4 variants of the Everest also receive an ‘e-shifter’ gear selector instead of a traditional mechanical gear selector. Depending on the Everest variant, there are a variety of drive modes that change the vehicle’s throttle response, gearshifts, traction control and ABS. These include the following:
Standard on all 4×4 models besides the entry-level Ambiente is an ‘Off-Road Screen’ (ORS) that’s able to display the following information:
A surround-view camera, which is standard on the top-of-the range Platinum and optional on the Trend 4×4 and Sport, can also be interacted with in this ORS.
Fuel Economy
The whole range features an 80L fuel tank, although aftermarket specialist ARB offers a long-range unit as well. AdBlue is required for both the bi-turbo four-cylinder and V6 turbo-diesel. Idle start-stop is also standard across the entire range too.
DimensionsThe new Ford Everest is 4914mm long, 2207mm wide, and up to 1842mm tall, with a 2900mm wheelbase. The Blue Oval has confirmed the maximum braked towing capacity for the entire Everest range, including 4×2 variants, is 3500kg. Maximum payload is up to 741kg, gross vehicle mass (GVM) is up to 3150kg, and gross combined mass (GCM) is 6250kg across the entire range. In vehicles fitted with Ford’s factory tow bar, there’s a trailer coverage system that allows you to set the length of the trailer you’re towing. It supports trailers varying from 2.4 metres to 10 metres long. This system takes the length of the trailer intro account and adjusts the sensitivity of the blind-spot assist. The optional Tow Pack also includes an integrated brake controller. All Everest models have a Tow/Haul drive model that optimises gear shifts to maintain the best power delivery and engine braking, as well as reducing shift ‘busyness’ when towing.
Servicing and WarrantyThe Everest is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty like the wider Ford range. Maintenance is required every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, and the first five services are priced at $329 under the Blue Oval’s capped-price service program. SafetyThe Ford Everest earned a five-star rating on the back of an 86 per cent score for adult occupant protection, a 93 per cent score for child occupant protection, a 74 per cent score for vulnerable road user protection, and an 86 per cent safety assist score. The five-star rating applies to the whole Everest range, and is based on tests carried out on the closely related Ford Ranger ute. For owners of cars built before August 20, 2022, that rating only applies once a software update has been installed by a dealer.
