Ford Everest Sport joins updated MY20 line-up
Blue Oval’s seven-seat off-road SUV model range updated and joined by sporty new variantFord Australia has announced an upgraded and expanded 2020 Ford Everest 4x4 line-up, and it will be joined by a new Sport variant for the first time.
The 2020 Ford Everest Sport gets a raft of sporty exterior features to set it apart from its siblings in the updated large seven-seat SUV range.
These include bi-LED headlights with auto high-beam and 17 per cent greater lighting penetration, black 20-inch alloy wheels, unique ‘Sport’ badging and ‘Everest’ lettering above the grill.
Sport variants also get a black-out treatment for the roof rails, window surrounds, side mirrors and in lower sections of the front and rear bumpers.
A new hero colour – Deep Crystal Blue – also bolsters the Everest Sport’s look, while four other paint options include Artic White, Shadow Black, Meteor Grey and Aluminium.
A total of eight trim levels are now on offer in the all-diesel, Ranger ute-based Everest line-up.
These include the base-spec Ambiente 3.2L (in rear- or four-wheel drive, priced from $49,490), mid-spec Trend (again with RWD and 4WD, plus two diesel powertrain offerings, from $56,490), the new Sport 4WD (with either diesel, from $62,290) and the flagship Titanium Bi-Turbo 4WD ($72,590).
Like the Trend 4WD, the Everest Sport can be had with a choice of either a 143kW/470Nm 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel paired to a six-speed auto a newer, more powerful 2.0-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine from the Ranger Raptor, paired to a 10-speed automatic and good for 157kW/500Nm.
Like all Everest variants, it’ll also get a range of standard safety features including autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, auto high-beam, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, hill descent control and hill launch assist.
Other standard Everest features include Ford’s SYNC3 8.0-inch touch-screen infotainment unit with smartphone mirroring (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), navigation and a ‘breadcrumbs’ feature to map off-road routes as they happen in case you get lost.
The Ford Everest Sport will also debut a new windscreen-mounted USB port – which every Everest variant will get from 2020 onwards – to enable easy fitment of a dash camera.
