Next Ford Everest rendered

The second-generation Ford Everest has been imagined this week ahead of its touchdown in Australia next year.

Developed in Australia and based on the same third-generation T6 ladder platform as the 2022 Ford Ranger, the all-new seven-seat off-road SUV will inherit the new ute’s high-tech cabin, overhauled chassis and fresh powertrains, headlined for the first time by a V6 turbo-diesel with class-leading performance.

The 2023 Ford Everest has already been spied in testing, but now – thanks to the com-gen artists at SRK Designs – here’s our first glimpse of what the Blue Oval brand’s upcoming Isuzu MU-X fighter would look like with the same bold new front-end treatment as the new Ranger, which goes on sale in the second quarter of next year.

Looking every bit as tough as the 2022 Ford Ranger, just with a little more chrome, the 2022 Ford Everest – which is also expected in showrooms by the end of next year, will be a significant step forward from the model it replaces.

And it’s what’s underneath the bonnet of the new Everest that is set to ensure it’s every bit as capable as its fresh exterior implies.

That’s because power in range-topping Everest grades will come from a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 borrowed from Ford’s larger F-150 pick-up. Matched to a 10-speed automatic transmission that will be standard across the range, it should pumps out around 186kW of power and a class-leading 600Nm of torque.

Alongside it will be an upgraded version of the current model’s 157kW/500Nm 2.0-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel, following the axing of the outgoing Everest’s 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel.

The all-new Everest is also expected to share all the next Ranger’s tech features, including a larger 12.0-inch portrait-style touch-screen, a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, rotary gear selector and more.

Stay tuned for all the latest details on the new Everest, which is set to make its global by mid-2022.
