The 2024 Ford Everest is one of the most versatile SUVs available today, combining true off-road toughness with modern comfort for families. After a full redesign, this seven-seater stands out as both a capable 4×4 and a practical daily driver.
Spacious Family SUV
Inside, the Everest offers up to seven seats with plenty of flexibility. Both the second and third rows fold flat, creating a huge cargo area—perfect for road trips or outdoor adventures. In higher trims, you’ll find premium features like quilted leather, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel, while all models get Ford’s large Sync 4 touchscreen and wireless charging.
Power and Performance
Buyers can choose between two diesel engines:
-
2.0L Bi-Turbo four-cylinder with 154 kW and 500 Nm
-
3.0L V6 Turbo-Diesel with 184 kW and 600 Nm
Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Depending on the model, you can have rear-wheel drive or a full-time 4×4 system. Every Everest is capable of towing up to 3,500 kg, which makes it a strong choice for caravans and boats.
Off-Road Capability
The Everest is built tough and it shows. With up to 226 mm of ground clearance, an 800 mm wading depth, and features like a rear locking differential and low-range gearing, it can handle rough terrain with ease. Whether it’s dirt trails, mud, or river crossings, this SUV feels ready for the challenge.
Safety and Tech
Safety is a strong point, with the Everest earning a five-star ANCAP rating. Across the range, you’ll find advanced driver assistance features such as:
-
Adaptive cruise control
-
Blind-spot monitoring
-
Lane-keep assist
-
Autonomous emergency braking
Top trims also offer a 360-degree camera for easier parking and off-road visibility.
Fuel Efficiency
Ford claims between 7.1 L/100 km and 8.5 L/100 km, depending on the engine. In real-world use, expect closer to 10 L/100 km, especially if you’re driving in 4×4 mode or carrying extra weight.
Pricing
The Everest is available in several trims to match different budgets:
-
Ambiente (from around $54,000)
-
Trend (around $67,000)
-
Sport (from $74,600)
-
Wildtrak (from $74,700)
-
Platinum (from $79,500)
(Prices may vary by market and before on-road costs)
Verdict
The 2024 Ford Everest sets a high standard in the 4×4 SUV class. It delivers excellent towing ability, serious off-road capability, and the practicality that families need. While higher trims push into premium price territory and fuel use can be higher than advertised, the Everest remains one of the most complete 7-seater SUVs available today.
For buyers seeking a rugged yet comfortable SUV that works just as well for school runs as it does for camping trips, the 2024 Everest is a benchmark choice.
