During this morning (04:00 Argentine time), Ford introduced the new generation of Everestthe unprecedented SUV derived from the Ranger to be manufactured in Argentina from next year (new generation).
The medium pick-up was presented a few months ago, and now only the debut of its sport utility derivative was missing. Although the current edition of the truck already “had” a Everest, the model never came to our country, as it was only offered in some markets in Asia and Oceania. We could say that Until now it has always been a regional vehicle.
However, with this generational change, the idea of the oval brand is to transform this SUV into a global model and that is why there are plans to offer it in the United States, Europe and even South America (in Argentina, it would compete with Toyota SW4 and Chevrolet Trailblazer). Even with the next national Ranger, Pacheco could once again have one more member on the assembly line (the last one was Focus on 2019to leave exclusively to the pick-up) and precisely it would be Everest, due to the components that both models have in common.
The Ford plant in the Buenos Aires town has already started with the reformsalthough for now there are no official news about the arrival of an unpublished member.
Anyway, back to the world premiere of the sport utility. In relation to the design, up to the B-pillar, it maintains practically (almost) the same aesthetics as the new Rangerwhile the big difference is in the rear, with inverted L-shaped headlights, located at the height of a strip that crosses the trunk.
Inside, it is practically the same format that it has in its sister in pick-up form, combining the same technology and comfort on board. Regarding securityIt will have adaptive cruise control, nine airbags, automatic brake (also reverse), parking assistant, lane keeping system, among others. What’s more, It has the SYNC 4 multimedia system with a 12.1-inch screen (also 10.1), added to a completely digital instrumentation.
It is important to remember that you will have seven rows of seats. under the hood, It has a 3.0 V6 engine with 253 hp or a 2.0 turbo or biturbo diesel. In turn, it will also have a 2.3 Ecoboost. Transmissions will be ten- or six-speed automatics. It will have 4×4 all-wheel drive options.
