New Ford Everest imagined following official tease

Less than a day after the new 2022 Ford Everest was officially teased last week, Russian publication Kolesa has provided the most accurate look yet at the all-new Ford Ranger-based off-road SUV.

Given Ford Australia’s camouflaged preview left very little to the imagination, it should come as no real surprise to see the rendering looking identical to the preview vehicle save for a few minor details and the obvious lack of camo.

This, however, isn’t the first rendering we’ve seen of the new-generation Ford Everest; SRK Designs had a crack at the design back in the first week of December – several weeks before the large SUV’s global tease.

Drawing obvious inspiration from the upcoming 2022 Ford Ranger ute, the rendered Ford Everest inherits the same front bumper design as the lower-tier utes which suggests the previewed vehicle is a high-grade Titanium variant – a notion also supported by that car’s large-diameter alloys and relatively low-profile tyres.

The teaser vehicle also featured a chrome trimmed radiator grille, something missing from the Kolesa render but present on the SRK design.

Just as it was designed to do, the teaser vehicle’s ‘digitised camouflage’ did a decent job of breaking up the new Ford Everest’s sculpted doors, but different camera angles gave their shape away and Kolesa capitalised on that in its render for all to see.

As mentioned earlier, the official preview vehicle left little to the imagination; a trend continued at the rear and reflected in the render.

The L-shaped tail-lights with segmented inner elements are bridged by a thin piece of trim mirroring the one spanning the grille, while the reversing lights and rear indicators have also been arranged in an L shape, albeit inverted compared to the brake lights.

We’re yet to get a glimpse of the new Ford Everest’s interior but if the lead-up to its global reveal in the new year is anything like the Ranger’s then we should at least get some sort of idea before the big day.

For reference, we already expect the ute’s new 12.0-inch vertically oriented infotainment interface and 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster to carry across onto the higher grades, while seating for seven is another given.

And, like the new Ford Ranger, the next Everest will likely offer the choice of upgraded twin-turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder and new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines matched at a 10-speed automatic transmission.
