What’s it like to drive?
"The Everest has always been a rugged good-looking vehicle, and now being manufactured locally with a smaller engine, it is poised to take the fight for the consumers' cash to their opposition. For those who are expecting performance that you may have received from the likes of the Ranger with the same engine, you may be disappointed, as the Everest might just be a little overweight." -AutoTrader

What does it look like?
Exterior
Interior
What is the Ford Everest like inside?
Since the Everest model range consists of nine derivatives, the interior look and feel vary significantly from the more back-to-basics 2.2TDCi XLS to the super luxurious 2.0Bi-Turbo 4WD Limited model. The clever storage areas and cavernous space remain a constraint throughout the model range, though.
Style
Despite being a family-focused adventure SUV, the Everest goes about its business looking stylish, particularly when looking at both the Sport and Limited derivatives, emphasising aesthetics both inside and out.
