New Ford Everest

Ford Everest (Endeavour) facelift unveiled

Ford has unveiled the Everest (Endeavour) facelift for the Australian and other Asian markets. The update includes minor changes to the exterior, interior, a new engine and added safety features.

At the front, the SUV gets a revised front grille finished in chrome, a revised front bumper with silver inserts and an integrated scuff plate. The headlights are also tweaked. The vehicle is now offered with 20-inch alloy wheels.

On the inside, the new Everest comes with soft-touch surfaces. The equipment list includes hands-free tailgate and Ford SYNC3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Ford has also updated the safety features by introducing pedestrian detection with autonomous emergency braking.

In Australia, Ford will offer the Everest with a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, twin-turbo diesel engine from the Ranger Raptor pickup. This engine produces 211 BHP and 500 Nm of torque @ 1,750 rpm and comes mated to a new 10-speed automatic transmission.

The entry-level variants are powered by the existing 3.2-litre, 5-cylinder diesel.

Refreshed Ford Everest hits SA (with new engine options)!

The refreshed Ford Everest seven-seater SUV range has hit the South African market, complete with the option of two new engines.

The local line-up has been trimmed from eight to six derivatives (manual gearboxes are no longer offered), with the 2,2-litre turbodiesel engine (118 kW/385 N.m) now available only in the sole entry-level variant. The 3,2-litre five-cylinder TDCi mill (147 kW/470 N.m), too, remains in the range, but also powers just a single mid-spec derivative.

However, as it did with the updated Ranger line-up, the Blue Oval brand has added the option of its new single- and bi-turbo diesel units. These fresh engines are each mated to a new ten-speed automatic transmission, while the older units stick with six-speed self-shifters.

The 2,0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine produces 157 kW and 500 N.m (yes, this is the same unit used by the upcoming Ranger Raptor), and is offered in XLT 4x2 and 4x4 guise, as well as in top-spec Limited form. The single-turbo oil-burner, meanwhile, is available exclusively in XLT 4x2 configuration, sending 132 kW and 420 N.m to the rear axle.

Styling changes include an updated grille, a tweaked lower bumper and a new 20-inch alloy wheel design (the latter for the flagship Limited model). In addition, "Diffused Silver", a new exterior body colour, has been added to the line-up.

Ford Everest gets fresh look and new 2-litre engines

Hot on the heels of the Ford Ranger getting upgraded, the Everest has been brushed with some middle-age makeup.

As with its bakkie cousin, the big story here is Ford’s new 2-litre turbodiesel engine, also available here in single-turbo (SiT) and twin-turbo (BiT) guises, while the current 2.2 and 3.2 TDCi engines continue to be offered in certain variants.

The 2.0 SiT is available only in 4x2 XLT form, while the BiT can be had as an XLT 4x2 or XLT 4x4 and can also be paired with the range-topping Limited trim grade.

The 2.0 single-turbo motor produces 132kW and 420Nm, while the Bi-Turbo is good for 157kW and 500Nm. The latter uses a small high-pressure blower combined with a large low-pressure unit - both work in tandem on pull-off for a lag-free launch, while the larger unit holds the fort alone higher in the rev range.

Both 2-litre engines are mated exclusively to a brand new 10-speed automatic gearbox which offers additional ‘Sport’ and manual shifting modes.

The current 2.2-litre turbodiesel continues at the bottom of the range, producing 118kW and 385Nm as before, while the 3.2 turbodiesel, still with 147kW and 470Nm on tap, is available in XLT 4x4 guise. In both cases Ford’s six-speed automatic gearbox is fitted as standard.

Ford Everest Facelift (2019) Launch Review

Summary

The facelifted Ford Everest brings widespread improvements to the vehicle; they really make a difference. Yes, the styling isn’t much of a departure from the original, but with the mechanical changes and specification updates, the Everest sets itself up as the segment leader in many areas.

The engines are an improvement over the outgoing ones, offering smoother and less draggy acceleration with quicker and less perceptible gear shifts. It’s also more efficient thanks to the reduced capacity and well-considered transmission calibration.

The small anti-roll bar change has had a knock-on effect that has improved to suspension’s ability to soak up bumps and reduce the number of shocks transferred to the passengers, making the Blue Oval's Adventure SUV a good long-distance gravel cruiser.

The Everest also avails the best level of modern tech, both within the cabin and in terms of safety equipment. Let’s hope this is the start of good things for Ford as the brand seems to be trying to improve its reputational damage after Kuga fire-gate and recent media reports on security risks.

Price and after-sales support

All Everest derivatives come standard with a 4-year/120 000km comprehensive warranty, 3-year/unlimited distance roadside assistance and 5-year/unlimited km corrosion warranty. A 6-year/90 000km service plan is included, with services required at 15 000-km intervals.

DRIVEN: Ford Everest 2,0 BiT 10AT 4x4 XLT (and Limited)

What’s new?

The Everest range has received a slight facelift, with most exterior changes evident on the Limited model. These include a new bumper and chrome grille design, 20-inch alloys (the 18-inch items fitted for our overland trip are optional) and a panoramic sunroof, to name but a few.

Inside, it's mostly familiar fare but the Limited version does gain some piano black panels to enhance the feeling of sophistication and luxury. Keyless entry and start is standard but there's still no reach adjustment on the steering column. The acclaimed Sync3 infotainment system with satnav (Tracks4Africa) is available in both the XLT and Limited variants.

The main change to the Everest range, though, is the introduction of the new 2,0-litre biturbodiesel engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. This is the same powertrain recently launched in the refreshed Ranger line-up, including in the Ranger Raptor. Delivering 157 kW and 500 N.m of torque, it easily shades the old 3,2-litre engine now reserved for only one Everest model.

XLT or Limited?

According to Ford, the specification level in the Limited model combined with the proper seven-seat arrangement (the third row neatly folds out of the boot floor) allows it to compete with more expensive and premium-badged vehicles such as the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Land Rover Discovery. Still, I'm not convinced buyers will see it this way and be prepared to fork out the bullish asking price of R761 200.

As the XLT is essentially the same vehicle from a powertrain perspective, I would rather save R70 000 and do without a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control and electrically adjustable seats, to name a few of the Limited model's flagship features.

Both models, however, performed exceptionally well in the harsh conditions and helped create memories that will last a lifetime. Did I spot a twinkle in the Everest’s headlamp?

Botswana road trip: Ford's new Everest reaches for the stars

Ever been so close to the stars that it feels all you have to do is reach up and grab one, or seen the Milky Way the way that our forefathers would have done before the advent of big cities and their lights?

The Makgadikgadi Pan in Botswana is such a place, and apart from the magnificence of the stars, the silence is almost surreal as you lie on your back under the bedding, counting falling stars. It’s bigger than Switzerland but is impossible to drive across unless you have a land yacht or light beach buggy with fat tyres that won’t break through the crust and suck you into the mud till your chassis.

Personally, the Pan was a bucket list ticked for me and it came courtesy of Ford, who launched their new Everest SUV across the border in an environment that the Everest and similar vehicles call home.

Model Range and Prices:

2.2 TDCi XLS 6AT 4x2 - R499 900

2.0 SiT XLT 10AT 4x2 - R584 900

2.0 BiT XLT 10AT 4x2 - R624 100

3.2 TDCi XLT 6AT 4x4 - R644 000

2.0 BiT XLT 10AT 4x4 - R687 700

2.0 BiT Limited 10AT 4x4 - R761 200

All models come with a four-year/120 000km warranty, three-year/unlimited distance roadside assistance and five-year/unlimited km corrosion warranty. A six-year/90 000km service plan is also included.

Tested: Ford's Everest has upped its game with new 2.0 engine

VERDICT

At R701 500 for the XLT 4WD on test, this Everest is priced right in line with the Toyota Fortuner flagship, but offers more power, albeit hampered by its weight. But the Everest is still an impressive and refined all rounder.

Ultimately, though, it all comes down to what you plan to do with your big SUV. If you frequently tackle rough farm roads and challenging off-road trails, and you appreciate the toughness and durability of a ladder-frame vehicle, then the Everest is arguably your best bet in this class. However, if your needs are not that intense, don’t overlook the more refined and plusher-riding unibody SUVs on the market, such as the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe.

Ford Everest 2.0 Bi-turbo 4x4 XLT (2019) Review

Fast Facts

Price: R701 500
Engine: 2.0-litre bi-turbododiesel
Power/Torque: 157 kW / 500 Nm
Transmission: 10-speed automatic
Fuel economy: 7.6 L/100 km (claimed)
Load space: 1 050/2 010 litres

Pricing & Warranty

The Everest 2.0 Bi-turbo 4x4 XLT is priced at R701 500 (November 2019). Ford improved the length of the service plans it offers on its models recently; the Everest comes with a 4-year/120 000 km warranty and a 6-year/90 000 km service plan.

Verdict

No, the Everest is not the top-selling adventure SUV in the market, but, as a product, it strides ahead of its rivals with improved ride quality and drivetrain capability... It is the most advanced vehicle in its class, as well as the most spacious and practical offering with more interior space than its competitors and a decidedly better infotainment system. There isn’t even a surplus in the price for the Everest against the competing Fortuner.

However, this segment is defined by the perception of reliability more than the availability of the latest gadgetry, which at least partly explains why the Toyota Fortuner continues to dominate this segment. Ford’s reliability record and after-sales struggles are well documented and the finding of our Cars.co.za Ownership Satisfaction Survey (even the most recent data) underlines the Blue Oval's predicament. Having said that, there are signs that Ford is gradually turning things around: customers are experiencing improved service from dealers and better reliability. That augers well, because the Everest is easily the best product in its segment; it deserves to close that big sales gap to the Toyota Fortuner, even if only partially.

Ford Everest 2.0 Bi-turbo 4x4 XLT (2019) Review

The battle for supremacy in the Adventure SUV segment is a 2-horse race. Of this bakkie-based SUV brigade, the Toyota Fortuner seems untouchable at the top of the sales charts, but recent updates to the Everest have made the Ford a much-improved product. We test the XLT derivative to see if it...

Ford Shows Everest Basecamp

Become your own base camp with this new Everest kit.

If you are one of those Ford Everest owners who like driving to remote parts of Lesotho or Botswana on vacation, there’s an upgrade which might be of interest.

Ford’s Australian division, which is very similar in marketing strategy and product to Ford South Africa, has released an accessories pack for Everest.

Cleverly named, this new accessory pack is called the ‘Basecamp’ and comprises some of those desirable adventure bits that you’d have to fit in your own time and inconvenience, at an aftermarket specialist.

Ford’s product people will now save adventurous Everest owners all the trouble of comparing price and specification and offer the kit they need, as a factory option.

Ford Everest to gain 2,3-litre EcoBoost engine ‘internationally’ – report

A fresh report out of India claims the Ford Everest is in line to receive the brand’s turbocharged 2,3-litre petrol engine “internationally” but it doesn't appear to be on the cards for South Africa.

According to IndianAutosBlog.com, the four-cylinder EcoBoost engine will be mated as standard with the Blue Oval brand’s ten-speed automatic transmission (rather than the old six-speeder).

It’s not yet clear which markets are set to receive the petrol-powered version of the Everest (known in some countries as the Endeavour), although China appears to be the first. Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa, meanwhile, told CARmag.co.za the "Everest model in question is currently engineered for left-hand-drive markets only", effectively ruling out a local launch.

The Indian publication says the 2,3-litre unit will develop 202 kW and 455 N.m in the Ranger-based SUV. For the record, a version of this engine is also used in the Ranger bakkie in North America, where it develops 201 kW and 420 N.m, as well as in the four-cylinder version of the Mustang.

Next-gen Ford Everest to feature Explorer-inspired front end – report

A fresh report out of India suggests the next-generation Ford Everest will hit the market in the second half of 2021, featuring a far more aggressive front-end design.

According to IndianAutosBlog.com, the new Everest (or Endeavour, as it's badged in some markets) will benefit from a “drastic transformation” at the front. The publication claims the new Everest will gain a “significantly larger” grille, a fresh split-headlamp design, additional lower air intakes and a “more muscular” front bumper.

Indeed, the report (as well as the rendering published alongside it) suggests the new Everest will borrow a number of styling cues from the latest Explorer.

Inside, the next-gen Everest will reportedly be more upscale and refined than the current model. Previous spy shots revealed a sleeker facia, a new flat-bottomed steering wheel, an electric parking brake and a fully digital instrument cluster.
