Ever-ready and capable: Spec-checking the Ford Everest

Tough on the outside, sanctuary on the inside, extraordinary capability underneath. These were Ford's objectives in making the 2022 Everest. More consumer feedback than ever before was also added to the to-do list. 

The 2022 Ford Everest has a more progressive, muscular appearance thanks to a 50-millimeter wider track and a 50mm longer wheelbase. A dramatic swell over the wheels caused by a strong shoulder line that extends from front to back furthers the robust and contemporary image.

The front end features a mix of horizontal and vertical parts that give it a more stable appearance. The horizontal top grille bar and C-clamp headlamps are examples of Ford's worldwide design DNA. The full-width LED taillights draw attention to the Everest's wider track.

With the push of a button, the panoramic sunroof on the 2022 Ford Everest Titanium versions lets in fresh air, and the hands-free power liftgate makes it simple and quick to enter the Everest's roomy trunk by kicking one's foot under the sensor.

Space, with luxurious leather seats, high-end materials, and ambient lighting in places where it may be most appreciated makes the SUVs cabin. The full-width instrument panel, center console, and dash-mounted "pop out" cupholders for front seat occupants all contribute to the vehicle's large feeling.

Access to the third-row seats is made much simpler by the second-row seats' ability to slide forward farther than before. All occupants also have extra storage space and access to power outlets in all three rows, which allows them to charge their electronics.

Ford prioritized flexible seating in the next-gen Everest – the second-row slides with a 60:40 split seatback and the 50:50 split third row in the seven-seater configuration can be folded at the touch of a button on high-series models. Both the second-and third-row seats are designed to fold flat to allow for long loads to be carried safely.

Additionally, a hands-free liftgate opens with a simple kick, allowing users to open the back door of the vehicle even with their hands full–enabling easier cargo loading.

The sophisticated and comfortable interior is underpinned by an updated chassis, wider track, and refined suspension tuning. Simply put, the 2022 Ford Everest offers a balanced ride performance, whether on the highway or in rough terrain. 

Customers can choose between an eight or 12-inch digital instrument cluster, a notable improvement over the previous generation analog cluster, and both are fully equipped with the newest connectivity options.

The latest SYNC 4A is integrated into the next-generation Everest's huge, high-resolution 10 or 12-inch touch-screen infotainment screen, which is connected to a 360-degree camera with a display that aids drivers in parking and navigating off-road terrains.

Additionally, it has a wireless charging mechanism to ensure that everyone within is always connected.

The next-gen Everest also has an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor (IOLM), a smart new feature that tells the owner when to have an oil change based on actual engine data, operating conditions, and owner driving habits.

The 2.0L Bi-Turbo engine mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which is available on the 2022 Ford Everest Titanium+ 4x4 variant, is capable of 210PS of maximum power and 500Nm of maximum torque. The 2.0L Single Turbo mated with a six-speed automatic transmission, available for the other 2022 Ford Everest variants, makes 170PS of maximum power and 405Nm of maximum torque.

With the next-generation Everest's terrain management system, drivers are given command of six on- and off-road drive modes (Normal, Eco, Tow Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts and Sand to help master every terrain). The Drive Mode Selector gives drivers an easy way to shift drive modes, and the E-Shifter brings a new level of high-tech control to your fingertips with optimized performance for various surfaces, road conditions, and vehicle usage.

All these thrilling features are exclusively available on the Titanium+ 4x4 variant. Additionally, all Everest models come standard with the electric parking brake.

The next-gen SUV comes loaded with new and enhanced driver assist technologies and safety features that are designed to take the stress out of driving and help drivers to remain focused. These technologies include seven airbags standard across all variants, Active Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Lane Centering, Lane Keeping System with Road Edge Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Evasive Steer Assist, and Reverse Brake Assist.

The 2022 Everest can be finished in Absolute Black, Aluminum Metallic, Arctic White (exclusive for Limited and Trend), Equinox Bronze (exclusive for Titanium+), Meteor Gray (exclusive for Titanium+ and Sport), Sedona Orange (exclusive for Titanium+), Snowflake White Pearl (exclusive for Titanium+ and Sport) and Blue Lightning (exclusive for Sport).

Clearly, the SUV is ever ready to serve comfort and capability, as the Everest variants' spec sheet below would suggest.
