2015 FORD Everest 3.2L 6AT (194 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Ford introduced the second generation of the mid-size SUV Everest in the Asia-Pacific area. Like its predecessor, it was built on the same chassis with the Ranger pickup-truck.

The first generation of the Everest was introduced in 2003 and it went through a major facelift in 2007. By 2015 it was already an outdated vehicle and the car maker decided that it was time for a major change. By using the same design language as the Ford Edge, the car company assigned the Australian branch to design and develop a successor for the Everest. The result was an SUV with the front side of a Ranger. After the B-pillar, the car was different. It featured a longer roof and different rear doors than the pickup version. An additional window was mounted behind the C-pillar.

Inside, the Everest featured the same dashboard as the Ranger, with a three-dials instrument cluster. A mix of the digital and analog panel was offered as an option. The SYNC2 infotainment system was Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible. The Everest could host up to seven passengers on three rows, but the standard version was fitted with only five seats.

For the powertrain, the car was fitted with a choice of three engines: a 2.0-liter Ecoboost, a 2.2-liter TDCI engine, or the top-of-the-range 3.2-liter turbodiesel with an inline-five configuration. Power went to the rear and all four corners via a transfer box and a low-gear.
