Ford Australia will add a seventh variant to it Everest large SUV family with the introduction of the limited-run Everest Black Edition, a special version of one of the country’s most popular 4WD family vehicles.

With only 750 units destined for Australian roads, the Everest Black Edition combines rugged off-road capability, sleek aesthetics and smart practicality—all for a $69,000 drive-away price.

Built on the reliable Everest Trend 2.0L Bi-Turbo 4×4, the Black Edition gets its signature look from a suite of blacked-out features including a black grille, side mirrors, door handles, and 18-inch alloy wheels clad in all-terrain tyres. Signature ‘EVEREST’ lettering on the bonnet and interior sill scuff plates emphasize the model’s exclusive identity.

Ford has introduced three striking paint finishes to complement the Black Edition’s bold styling: Aluminium Metallic, Shadow Black, and the exclusive Alabaster White—all included as Prestige Paint options at no extra cost.

According to Ambrose Henderson, Director of Marketing at Ford Australia, the Everest Black Edition is a timely response to evolving consumer demand: “This model adds a fresh take on a proven favourite, combining full-time 4WD, family-friendly features, and a striking visual package that delivers exceptional value.”
