Ford Everest BaseCamp returns for MY21.25

Ford Australia has announced an updated ’2021.25MY’ Ford Everest line-up, including the return of the BaseCamp special-edition, a new rear-wheel drive (RWD) Everest Sport variant and a new-look grille for Trend and Titanium grades.

On sale now and available from December, the updated Ford Ranger-based large off-road SUV line-up comes with special introductory drive-away prices, starting at $50,990 for the entry-level five-seat Ambiente 3.2L RWD – $900 more than the previous retail price excluding on-road costs.

4WD adds $6500 to the price of the base Ambiente, while Trend variants start at $56,990, Sport variants open at $59,990 and both grades are offered with RWD/2.0L, 4WD/3.2L (+$6000) and 4WD/2.0L powertrains (+$1500).

Pictured below, the Titanium 2.0L Bi-Turbo 4WD tops the range at $72,990 drive-away (for now – normally $73,190 plus ORCs).

The latest BaseCamp 4WD special-edition (pictured here in white) slots into the middle of the range at $64,990 with the older 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel, and at $66,990 with 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo engine – $2000 more than the Trend variants on which they’re based.

Said to be back by popular demand following its initial release in November 2019, the latest Ford Everest BaseCamp special is limited to 450 units and claimed to offer $6000 worth of extra value, including:

76mm diameter black nudge bar
Ford licensed LED light bar
Ford Genuine snorkel

Unique wheels

Meantime, the Ford Everest Sport (pictured above) adds the same equipment to the 4WD version released this time last year, but at under $60K costs $6000 less than the 3.2L 4WD version and $7500 less than the 2.0L 4WD version with the same 157kW/500Nm Bi-Turbo mill. There is no Sport 3.2L/RWD and standard extras include:

20-inch black-painted alloy wheels
Black-painted mesh grille
Black front and rear bumper
Black tailgate applique
Black roof rails

Updated 2021.25MY Ford Everest Trend and Titanium models score a new-look chrome grille with grey mesh, with Titaniums also adding 3D ‘Everest’ lettering on the bonnet.

All Ford Everest models come with a five-star ANCAP safety rating, five-year/unlimited-kilometre factory warranty, 15,000km/12-month service intervals and the first four years of servicing capped at $299 per service.

Standard safety equipment across the range includes seven airbags including full-length curtain airbags, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping aid with driver alert system, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam, rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, cruise control with adjustable speed limiter, roll-over mitigation, trailer sway control and emergency assistance.
