Most of you folks already know that Ford Philippines has launched the next-generation Everest and Ranger for the local market. In connection to that, another recent bit of news indicates that the Ford Everest built at the AutoAlliance Thailand (AAT) Plant in Rayong, Thailand is now ready to be exported globally.
The first lot of 2023 Ford Everest units are ready to be shipped
Of note, the said facility is the very same source of our Philippine-spec Everest units. But besides the Philippines, the said model from AAT will be exported to over 100 countries starting August 1, 2022.
This is also the first lot shipment of the next-generation Everest. Thai customers of course will be the first to get their hands on the new midsize SUV, though it would not be a stretch to say that Filipinos who made reservations for this next-generation model will soon get to see their brand-new vehicles in the metal.
As a refresher, the Philippine-spec 2023 Ford Everest for the Philippine market has a total of five different variants. There’s the top-spec Everest Titanium+ 4x4 AT, the Titanium+ 4x2 AT, Sport 4x2 AT, Limited 4x2 AT, and the entry-level Trend 4x2 AT.
Save for the top-spec variant, the Everest uses a 2.0-liter turbodiesel mill that’s able to produce up to 168 horsepower and 405 Nm of torque. It then gets a six-speed automatic gearbox.
Ready to get to their owners
The top-spec model, in turn, uses a 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel engine that can dish out 207 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. This variant then gets a 10-speed automatic gearbox.
Safety-wise, the top-spec Titanium+ 4x4 AT variant gets a very comprehensive list of driver-assist features. Among these are adaptive cruise control, pre-collision assist, autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane keeping aid, and forward collision warning, among many others.
Price-wise, the 2023 Everest ranges from Php 1,799,000 to Php 2,495,000. Ford Philippines also offers a standard warranty of five years or 150,000 kilometers whichever comes first.
