Ford Everest (2023) Review
FAST FACTS
Model: Ford Everest 3.0L V6 AWD Platinum
Price: R1 113 100 (Jan 2023)
Engine: 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel
Power/Torque: 184 kW/600 Nm
Transmission: 10-speed automatic
Fuel consumption: 8.5 L/100 km (claimed)
Luggage/Utility space: 259-898-1 818 litres
Ford Everest Price and After-sales Support
The Ford Everest 3.0L V6 AWD Platinum sells for R1 113 100 (before options – January 2023) and comes standard with a 4-year/120 000 km warranty, 5-year/unlimited distance corrosion warranty, as well as 4 years’ (unlimited distance) roadside assistance. Customers can buy service or maintenance plans as required (of up to 8 years or 135 000 km). The warranty can also be extended to 200 000 km.
Verdict
With the new Everest, Ford has indeed elevated its flagship SUV beyond the reach of its traditional rivals. In one move, it has left the still-relatively new Isuzu MU-X feeling decidedly dated, and provides a heady new benchmark for Toyota to aim at with its next-generation Fortuner, which will undoubtedly also shift upmarket. As it stands right now, however, this is the finest bakkie-based SUV that you can buy now; it combines true adventure ability with premium, luxurious on-road motoring and the latest technology.

New Ford Everest Wildtrak Breaks Cover
The rumours were true! Ford has revealed the first-ever Wildtrak version of the Everest, handing its adventure SUV a trim level previously reserved for the Ranger…
Back in mid-2022, we reported on patent images suggesting the new Ford Everest would receive the Wildtrak treatment, a specification previously reserved for the closely related Ranger bakkie. Now, exactly that has happened.
Yes, the Blue Oval brand’s New Zealand division has just whipped the wraps off the first-ever Everest Wildtrak, confirming the newcomer will hit that market by July 2023. As you might have guessed, it will be available there exclusively in conjunction with the flagship 184 kW/600 Nm 3.0-litre turbodiesel V6 engine (driving all 4 wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission as standard).
So, what makes an Everest Wildtrak? Well, this top-spec version of the Dearborn-based automaker’s 7-seater SUV features what Ford describes as “a range of design and styling enhancements” that emphasise the vehicle’s “off-road attitude”.
Like the Ranger equivalent, this high-spec iteration of Ford’s ladder-frame SUV will be available in the Wildtrak-only “Luxe Yellow” exterior paint colour, the first time this hue has been offered on the Everest (though the line-up will also include black, white, grey, aluminium and orange paint options). The Everest Wildtrak furthermore scores a model-specific grille and front bumper, along with 20-inch alloy wheels with “Bolder Grey” detailing.

Ford Everest Wildtrak revealed abroad with brawny cosmetic upgrades
The Ford Everest Wildtrak has been revealed in New Zealand, complete with all the visual flavour that makes its bakkie equivalent stand out.
This is the first time that Ford is offering a Wildtrak version of its Ranger-based Everest SUV, which has moved more upmarket in its latest incarnation.
Like the Ranger Wildtrak, the Everest receives a raft of sporty design upgrades, including a unique mesh grille in Boulder Grey, a colour that also extends to the front and rear bumpers as well as the mirrors.
A silver front bash plate adds some sparkle, along with the matching side steps and 20-inch two-tone alloy wheels.
According to New Zealand publication Stuff, which probably has to avoid calling itself Stuff New Zealand in company communications, the Ford Everest Wildtrak will only be powered by Ford’s 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine. This powerplant offers a brawny 184kW and 600Nm and is paired with a 10-speed automatic gearbox.

3 000km Wild Coast adventure in the new Ford Everest Sport
The Ford Everest is the ideal family SUV that will serve you well, whether it’s the daily grind, towing or going on holiday. Seven proper seats, the cavernous interior, comfortable driving position, decent handling, technology, safety and exterior design put it at the top of the family SUV pile.
Would I have one instead of the Ford Raptor? Probably not. Not because the Everest is average, it isn’t. The Raptor just suits my lifestyle better.
The Ford Everest Sport is priced at R965 400.

Ford Everest (2023) Living with it
Verdict
Priced at just over R1.1 million (without a service or maintenance plan), the flagship 2023 Ford Everest is comfortably in a different league to its traditional rivals from Toyota (Fortuner), Isuzu (MU-X) and Mitsubishi (Pajero Sport). In fact, Isuzu – in particular – must be concerned that its still-new MU-X (which I had on test for the same holiday period the previous year), has been outclassed so quickly.
How well does Ford’s newcomer compare with the Toyota Prado? I don’t think they appeal to the same kind of buyer, even though they may end up on the same shortlists. The Ford is a more premium and modern-feeling SUV with great on-road manners, while the Toyota has that reputation for unburstable reliability and off-road toughness – it arguably remains the choice if you’re going to head into the unknown very often. But, as a comfortable daily family vehicle that can do long-distance family trips with sufficient luxury, plenty of space and no shortage of occupant comfort, the Everest takes the crown.

Is the 2023 Ford Everest truly in a higher category than other bakkie-based SUVs? We take the 3.0 V6 AWD Platinum on a 4 000-km journey.

What if Ford took the recipe of their Ranger Raptor and applied it to their SUV alternative? Well, this is what an Everest Raptor could look like.
