2019 Ford Everest adopts Ranger Raptor engine

A choice of diesel powerplants and new 10-speed auto for Blue Oval’s off-roader

Ford has released new details of the 2019 Everest off-roader ahead of its fourth-quarter arrival this year.

Just like the 2019 Ford Ranger unveiled earlier this week, the Everest will be available with a choice of diesel engines in updated guise, including a new 2.0-litre turbo-four sourced from the flagship Ranger Raptor.

Offering up 157kW and 500Nm of torque, the oiler is fitted standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission and offers fuel use as low as 6.9L/100km combined.

The 2.0-litre diesel will be optionally available on the Trend version of the Everest, and standard on the top-spec Titanium model. The entry-level Ambiente and regular Trend will persist with a 3.2-litre turbo-diesel five-cylinder that remains unchanged for 2019, offering 143kW and 470Nm.

The added firepower is complemented by changes to the suspension geometry for purportedly better ride and handling. Active noise cancellation technology is also fitted to variants powered by the Raptor engine.

The 2019 Everest is visually distinguished by a re-worked grille and grade-specific changes including HID headlights (Trend) and 20-inch alloy wheels (Titanium).

Elsewhere, the Everest takes a significant step forward with the adoption of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection. The caveat is the feature is only available on Trend and Titanium grades – ditto the Everest’s hands-free tailgate.

All models adopt Ford’s SYNC3 infotainment software, bringing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, plus in-built satellite navigation. Keyless entry and start is also standard across the range.

Ford will release model-specific Everest pricing closer to launch.
