MANILA, Philippines, 9 August 2019 – Ford Philippines today launches a new and refreshed version of its popular Everest mid-size SUV, taking its capability, safety, and efficiency to the next level with notable enhancements to its engine, transmission, and driver-assist technologies.
“The Ford Everest was launched in the Philippine market in 2003, at a time when the demand for SUVs was still on the rise. The Everest redefined the SUV segment with its bold design, advanced technology, and stunning off-road and on-road capabilities,” said PK “Uma” Umashankar, managing director, Ford Philippines.
“Given its track record in the Philippines, we are confident that the new Ford Everest will give Filipino customers a ride no less than extraordinary, building on its position as one of the smartest and safest SUVs in its class,” added Umashankar.
Next-generation powertrain
The new Ford Everest is powered by the new-generation 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel and 2.0L Turbo diesel engines. With the advanced 10-speed automatic transmission that offers improved fuel efficiency and better acceleration, the 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel engine delivers 213PS and 500Nm of torque, while the 2.0L Turbo engine delivers 180PS and 420 Nm of torque. The new 2.0L diesel engines and 10-speed automatic raise the bar when it comes to vehicle refinement.
With the new Ford Everest’s new powertrain, customers can enjoy lower service maintenance costs with a once-a-year scheduled service interval instead of twice a year, paving the way for better ownership experience.
Smarter and safer than ever
The new Everest continues to pioneer the mid-size SUV segment as a highly advanced technology-led SUV, with segment-leading driver-assist technologies (DATs) that make it ideal for city driving while remaining a force to be reckoned with off road.
Smart keyless entry and push-button start are now standard across the new Everest range, offering customers quicker engine starts, improved convenience, and ease of entry and exit from the vehicle.
The new Everest provides more convenience with the hands-free liftgate, a feature that automatically opens and closes the liftgate. If the driver’s hands are full, a simple kicking motion of the foot under the rear bumper will open and close the liftgate.
Parking is also easier with the new Everest with the Active Park Assist feature that helps drivers find parallel parking spaces and steers the vehicle to a parking slot, with the driver’s hands off the steering wheel. The driver just needs to control the gears, accelerator, and brake.
With the new Everest’s 4WD Terrain Management System, maximum traction and stability enables drivers to stay in control whether driving on sand, mud, grass, or rock, ensuring full capability both on and off-road.The new Everest also features Ford’s Pre-Collision Assist which uses Inter-Urban Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Vehicle Detection, a first-in-class feature that detects pedestrians and vehicles and alerts you with an audible and visual warning to bring the Everest to a complete stop to help mitigate rear-end collisions and road-traffic collisions with pedestrians.
SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility now powers the new Everest, an 8.0-inch full color touchscreen and reversing camera. On top of standard built-in navigation, SYNC 3 is compatible with the use of Waze and Google Maps, proving useful when venturing beyond mobile coverage areas.
The new Everest also retains segment-leading advanced driver assistance technologies that help provide a more convenient and safer driving experience, including:
Adaptive Cruise Control
Lane Keeping System
Forward Collision Warning System
Driver Alert System
Auto High Beam Control
BLIS – Blind Spot Information System comes equipped with Cross Traffic Alert
Rear View Camera and Parking Sensors
A model of refinement and design
The new Everest’s enhanced off-road capabilities are matched by its manners on-road, delivering a significantly smoother, quieter passenger experience.Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a unique feature that helps deliver cabin quietness. Engine and transmission noise is remarkably quieter thanks to an engineering focus on quiet operation, as well as advanced sound insulation to ensure the Everest is as quiet as can be.
With the Panoramic Moonroof, natural light will be able to illuminate the vehicle cabin during the day or night with the roof space fully adjustable at the touch of a button.
The new Everest’s rugged design has been refined with a new grille treatment, incorporating a secondary grille texture against Everest’s chrome HID headlights. With a redesigned bumper, the new Everest is also fitted with a new 20-inch split-spoke alloy wheel design with darker wheel accents that add to its rugged appearance.
Inside the new Everest’s spacious cabin features a new ebony interior theme, which invokes a more premium, classy, and exclusive feel.
Variant, pricing, and availability
The new Everest is available in two variants at launch and comes in six colors, including the new Diffused Silver, as well as Absolute Black, Aluminum Metallic, Arctic White, Meteor Gray, and Sunset Red.
The Everest 2.0L Bi-Turbo Titanium+ 4x4 AT retails at Php 2,299,000 while the Everest 2.0L Turbo Titanium 4x2 AT retails at Php 1,995,000.
