Ford launched the facelifted Everest in Thailand alongside the 2021 Ranger. As we’ve said in a previous report, this is the blue-oval brand’s one-two punch, and the new Everest is the second part of the combo.
That said, this new Everest previews that future Philippine-spec version we’ll be getting soon. So, how different is the old Everest vs the new Everest? Let’s find out.
2021 Ford Everest Old vs New: Exterior
Just like the new Ranger, the new 2021 Everest mainly comes with cosmetic changes. Its new look is mainly inspired by the Everest Sport, which has proved to be one of the more popular Everest variants in Thailand.

Unlike the Ford Everest Sport, the 2021 Everest features chrome door handles, as well as chrome side mirrors. This is similar to the currently available Philippine-spec Everest Trend, and Titanium variants. From the side, the new Everest also comes with a new set of alloy wheels.

The largest change to the new Everest comes on its front fascia. The Titanium Thai-spec variants now feature chrome “Everest” lettering just above its grille. And speaking of the grille, it now comes with a new pattern, and the trio of chrome horizontal slats found on the old one are nowhere in sight.

2021 Ford Everest Old vs New: Interior
As we’ve said, the new 2021 Ford Everest is mostly a facelift. It still comes with all the familiar features that are currently available in the Philippine-spec model.
It can still seat up to seven passengers, and it still has amenities like dual-zone automatic temperature control, an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Navigation, Sync 3 with voice control, electronic stability control, etc.

Moreover, the new Ford Everest still uses the same engine options. For the Thai-spec variants, it uses a 2.0-liter turbo diesel capable of making 178 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque. This is the same engine found on the current Philippine-spec Titanium 4x2 and Sport 4x2 variants.
The other engine is of course the 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel engine for the Titanium+ 4x4, which can churn out 210 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Both engines are paired to a ten-speed automatic.

Once the new Everest gets to the Philippines though, we’re expecting the good ol’ 2.2-liter mill to also make its return. For those who are unaware, this is our entry-level Everest powerplant and it can make 157 horsepower and 385 Nm of torque. It is then mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
