The redesigned Ford Everest – an SUV spun off the newly facelifted Australian developed Ranger pickup for Asia-Pacific markets – has made its debut in Thailand at the Bangkok show.
Like its predecessor the model has off-road capability and a “premium interior” for up to seven passengers.

“We’re further strengthening our showroom lineup across ASEAN markets with a fully capable and competitive premium SUV that works equally well as a comfortable and refined family vehicle or taking on the roughest terrains of southeast Asia,” said Matt Bradley, president, Ford ASEAN. “It’s a completely new vehicle inside and out with a host of first-in-class features, and all at a very reasonable price.”
The vehicle was created by Ford’s Asia Pacific design and product development teams, making use of the automaker’s global SUV expertise. Like its predecessor, the new model will be available in both rear- and four-wheel drive variants.
It has a body on frame design, intelligent four-wheel drive system, active transfer case with torque on and terrain management and claimed class leading ground clearance of 225mm and water-wading capability of 800mm.
The terrain system gives drivers four preset settings – Normal, Snow/Gravel/Grass, Sand and Rock- that alter the vehicle’s throttle response, transmission, four wheel drive system and traction control.
