MANILA, Philippines – Ford Philippines launched another and revived a version of its prominent Everest moderate size SUV, taking its capacity, wellbeing, and productivity to the following level with striking improvements to its engine, transmission, and driver-assist innovations.
“The Ford Everest was propelled in the Philippine market in 2003 when the interest for SUVs was still on the ascent.
“Given its reputation in the Philippines, we are certain that the new Ford Everest will give Filipino customers a ride no not exactly unprecedented, expanding on its situation as one of the sharpest and most secure SUVs in its group,” added Umashankar.
Next-generation powertrain
The new Ford Everest is powered by the new-generation 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel and 2.0L Turbo diesel engines. The new 2.0L diesel engines and 10-speed automatic raise the bar when it comes to vehicle refinement.
With the new Ford Everest’s new powertrain, customers can enjoy lower service maintenance costs with a once-a-year scheduled service interval instead of twice a year, paving the way for better ownership experience.
Smarter and safer than ever
The new Everest continues to pioneer the mid-size SUV segment as a highly advanced technology-led SUV, with segment-leading driver-assist technologies (DATs) that make it ideal for city driving while remaining a force to be reckoned with off-road.
Smart keyless entry and push-button start are now standard across the new Everest range, offering customers quicker engine starts, improved convenience, and ease of entry and exit from the vehicle.
With the new Everest’s 4WD Terrain Management System, maximum traction and stability enable drivers to stay in control whether driving on sand, mud, grass, or rock, ensuring full capability both on and off-road.
The new Everest also features Ford’s Pre-Collision Assist which uses Inter-Urban Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Vehicle Detection, a first-in-class feature that detects pedestrians and vehicles and alerts you with an audible and visual warning to bring the Everest to a complete stop to help mitigate rear-end collisions and road-traffic collisions with pedestrians. With a redesigned bumper, the new Everest is also fitted with a new 20-inch split-spoke alloy wheel design with darker wheel accents that add to its rugged appearance.
The variant, pricing, and availability
The new Everest is available in two variants at launch and comes in six colors, including the new Diffused Silver, as well as Absolute Black, Aluminum Metallic, Arctic White, Meteor Gray, and Sunset Red.
The Everest 2.0L Bi-Turbo Titanium+ 4×4 AT retails at Php 2,299,000 while the Everest 2.0L Turbo Titanium 4×2 AT retails at Php 1,995,000.
Ford Island Conquest and exclusive launch offer
Customers can also test drive the new Everest on a specialized drive course that showcases its key features and capabilities such as its 800-mm water wading capability at the Ford Island Conquest (FIC) at Megatent Events Venue in Libis, Quezon City on August 10 and 11, 2019. Over Php, 1 million worth of cash discounts and premium items will be given to customers reserving their Ford vehicles at the 2-day event.
“With Ford’s heritage and global expertise in designing class-leading SUVs, we are confident that customers will see and experience the new Everest the way we designed it – with greater capability, enhanced safety, and improved efficiency, once again setting the benchmark in the country’s mid-size SUV segment,” said Ryan Lorenzo, marketing director, Ford Philippines.
