September 13: 2023 Ford Everest pricing and specifications

Our earlier coverage, below, has been updated to reflect the Australian launch of the Ford Everest and its five-star ANCAP safety rating.

The 2023 Ford Everest large SUV has arrived in Australian showrooms.

The second-generation Everest will be available in four variants – Ambiente, Trend, Sport and Platinum – with a choice of two diesel engines: a carryover twin-turbo four-cylinder or a new single-turbo V6.

Unlike its Ranger ute sibling, pricing for the Everest has increased by a larger amount than the minor jump first expected.

The largest bump for the Ranger resulted in its list price increasing by no more than $2240, while the smallest rise in the Everest is by $2900.

This is largely due to the new powertrains available over the outgoing model.

The smallest jump for the Everest is a $2900 increase for the Ambiente and Trend 4×4 grades, while the Trend 4×2 has gone up by $3200 over its predecessor.

Although the Sport and Platinum (formerly Titanium) have risen by a considerable $4700 and $6500 respectively, both are now powered by Ford’s V6 turbo-diesel, rather than the bi-turbo found in lower variants.

The Ford Everest competes against the Toyota LandCruiser Prado in the large SUV segment, in addition to the Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Fortuner.

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy

Carrying across from the outgoing Everest is Ford’s 2.0-litre, bi-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine, with its power cut by 3kW to 154kW at 3750rpm, while torque remains unchanged at 500Nm between 1750 and 2000rpm.

New to the Everest is a V6, with the 3.0-litre, single-turbo diesel powerplant pushing out 184kW at 3250rpm and 600Nm between 1750 to 2250rpm – a jump of 41kW and 130Nm over the old 3.2-litre five-cylinder diesel.

While a 10-speed torque converter automatic transmission is standard across the range, the entry-level Ambiente and Trend variants can be ordered with 4×2 or full-time 4×4, while all V6-powered models feature 4×4 as standard.

Fuel economy figures can be found in the table below:

Safety

The latest Ford Everest is covered by a five-star rating from ANCAP, based on testing conducted under the latest 2020-22 criteria.

It has an 86 per cent score for adult occupant protection, 93 per cent for children, 74 per cent for vulnerable road users, and 86 per cent for safety assist.

For a full safety report, read our story here.

Examples produced before August 20, 2022, will require a software update to become eligible for a five-star rating, due to the ability to leave lane-keep assist switched off when the vehicle is restarted, which contravenes ANCAP’s rules for a top rating.

Nine airbags (dual front, side head, curtain, driver and front passenger knee, and front-centre) are fitted across the range.

Each variant includes the following active safety equipment as standard:

Dimensions

The Ford Everest has a wheelbase of 2900 millimetres, and is 4914mm long, 2207mm wide and 1842mm high.

It has claimed 898-litre boot capacity with the third-row down, expanding to 1823L with the second-row folded. With all seats in use, it has a 239-litre capacity.

Warranty and servicing

As per the wider Ford range, the Everest is covered by the brand’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, along with 12 months of roadside assistance.

This program can be extended for up to seven years through annual servicing at a Ford dealership.

Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first, with the first five services priced at $329 under Ford’s capped-price program.
