this is the Ford Everest titanium premium it is the top-of-the-line model
in the ford everest lineup is it worth its 2.2 million peso price tag let's find out
as far as looks go I think the Everest is the most imposing
looking of all the locally available midsize SUVs it shares the same front
end as the very handsome Ford Ranger which i think is the best-looking pickup
available locally the front is mostly dominated by this large chrome grille
with the Ford logo emblazoned at the center the headlights are relatively
narrow but not so narrow that it looks like it's squinting like a lot of other
cars nowadays just enough that it seems like it's looking at you very intently
while saying you don't talk to me without saying sir
the sides are pretty simple there aren't a lot of deep creases like on the
Montero but the sides are not as featureless as the fortuner what
immediately draws the eyes are the bulging fenders they give the vehicle a
pretty muscular look the car comes with 20-inch wheels no other ppv in the
segment and in this price range comes with 20-inch wheels they look pretty
sharp and they give the vehicle a more sophisticated look the Everest also has
four disc brakes on all four corners the Everest doesn't have a bad angle
everything looks cohesive it looks aggressive and masculine
without trying too hard it looks rugged yet classy like a
bodybuilder in a tailored suit
if you want technology the Everest has it in spades it is the most feature packed
of all the locally available SUVs at this price range
perhaps the show stealer is the parking assist the vehicle can parallel park
itself with the driver only applying the brakes to control the speed
and then it has active noise cancellation which as the name suggests
cancels out exterior noise through speakers inside the car
it has plenty of driver aids and active safety features like adaptive cruise
control collision mitigation electronic stability program Lane keep assist blind
spot monitoring aside from being convenient features to have features
like adaptive cruise control collision mitigation Lane keep assist and bind
spot monitoring also make the Everest safer to drive by minimizing the chances
of accidents happening in the first place the dashboard of the Everest looks
very similar to the Ranger compared to the Fortuner's dashboard the Everest's
dashboard has more straight lines and curves leather is almost everywhere the
top of the dashboard is covered in stitched leather also the seats the door
sidings and the arm rests
both front seats are power adjustable the Everest has dual zone climate
control it has an 8-inch infotainment display which you can operate either by
using the touchscreen or by using voice commands it has a 10
speaker system a panoramic sunroof is standard for both the 3.2 and the 2.2
titanium with Premium Package there is no shortage of outlets the Everest has
four twelve volt outlets It has USB ports and an AC plug the Everest is powered by a
3.2 liter diesel engine which produces a class-leading 200 horsepower and 470 Newton
meters of torque while power is best in its class it also has the largest
displacement combined fuel economy is 8.2 kilometers per liter the engine is
coupled to a 6-speed transmission suspension at the front is independent
double wishbone while at the rear it has a solid rear axle with Watts
linkage approach angle is 29 degrees while the departure angle is 25 degrees
if I had to pick one PPV right now and if I would base my decision on looks and
features alone I will choose the Everest in terms of features it makes the
Fortuner V look like a base model in comparison the Fortuner doesn't have
adaptive cruise control it has no collision mitigation no blind spot
monitoring no active noise cancellation no panoramic sunroof and of course no
parking assist
the ride quality of the everest is also better than the Fortuner and the
steering of the artist is lightest in its class like I said if I had to get
one right now I'd choose this model but Ford is probably about to release an
updated model it'll probably come with the Ford Ranger raptor engine which is
a 2 liter bi turbo engine coupled to a 10 speed automatic it
produces 10 more horsepower than the 3.2 so I would wait for that if I were not
in a hurry Ford is offering large discounts for these models the 2.2 million
peso price tag will come with a hefty discount just talk to your local
dealership about it also worth noting is that most of the features available in
this model will also be available on the 2.2 titanium premium which is almost two
hundred thousand pesos cheaper in terms of features The ford everest titanium
premium package is ahead of the pack the everest wins in most objective and
subjective categories so this now becomes a question of which brand you
want to entrust your hard-earned money to Ford or Toyota
