Ford Australia has announced that the Everest Wildtrak special edition large SUV will be returning to Australian shores as part of a 1000-unit batch from May 2026 production. Priced from $79,990 plus on-road costs ($3000 more than the previous batch in 2025), the Everest Wildtrak will once again sit in the local line-up above the Sport model but below the flagship Platinum, and is priced at the same level as the off-road Everest Tremor.

Using the updated Everest’s refreshed exterior features, the new Wildtrak features a gloss black ‘H-Bar’ front bumper and a gloss black grille bar accented by ‘Ignite Orange’ ‘nostrils’. Twenty-inch alloy wheels finished in black with the same Ignite Orange inserts are standard, wrapped in all-season tyres, though 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres are also available for no extra cost.

Inside, the Everest Wildtrak features leather-accented seat upholstery with Wildtrak lettering and contrast Ignite Orange stitching, a panoramic sunroof and a power-folding third row of seating.

As before, the Ford Everest Wildtrak will use Ford’s 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and selectable four-wheel drive system.

We are excited to offer this limited-edition nameplate once again on Everest.”
