2024 Ford Everest price and specs

After increasing prices of its Everest range from January 1, Ford Australia has made some specification changes.

UPDATE, 20/01/2024 – Ford Australia has announced changes to its Everest range as a part of what it’s calling a model 12 months 2024.5 update. We’ve updated this text with information on these changes.

UPDATE, 16/09/2023 – Ford Australia is mountaineering Everest pricing by as much as $2490, citing market conditions. The increases will come into effect for all MY24 vehicles produced from January 1, 2024. All orders contracted from September 15 which have production allocated shall be price protected.

The 2024 Ford Everest range opens at $53,490 before on-roads for the Ambiente 4×2 bi-turbo and extends to $79,490 before on-roads for the Platinum 4WD V6.

Updated models, referred to by Ford as MY24.5 models, will enter production in March, arriving in local showrooms around mid-year.

The limited edition Wildtrak, which arrived within the third quarter of 2023, has finished its run and won’t be available as a part of the MY24.5 range. The rear-wheel drive Trend has also been axed.

The range-topping Platinum gains the choice of Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which allows the motive force to ‘steer’ the trailer via the outer ring of the drive mode controller while the automotive moves the steering wheel.

It’s a part of a brand new Pro Towing Pack on the Platinum, priced at $2900.

Other changes for MY24.5 include zone lighting and black stand-off roof rails as standard on the Everest Trend and Sport. These features were previously within the optional Touring Pack, which now costs $2500 and includes Pro Trailer Backup Assist.

All the choice packages besides the no-cost all-terrain tyre packages on the 4WD Sport and Platinum are up by between $200 and $250, while Sedona Orange has been faraway from the color palette.

Drivetrains

The 2024 Ford Everest shares its engines with the Ford Ranger, and is out there with two turbo-diesel powertrains: a 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four-cylinder, and a 3.0-litre V6.

Standard on Ambiente, Trend, and Sport 4×2 trims is a 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four-cylinder producing 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque. That is 3kW lower than the previous-generation Everest, while torque is unchanged.

It’s mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and is out there in rear- or full-time four-wheel drive configurations. The related Ranger ute with the Bi-Turbo engine is simply available with a part-time four-wheel drive system.

Standard on the Sport 4×4 and Platinum is a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine producing 184kW and 600Nm. That is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, with drive exclusively sent through a full-time four-wheel drive system.

4×4 features

The Everest contains a full-time four-wheel drive system with a two-speed electromechanical transfer case featuring 2H, 4H and 4L modes, plus a 4A mode for high-traction surfaces like paved roads.

This 4A mode when chosen can repeatedly distribute power between the front and rear axles for “optimum performance in all on-road conditions”. Essentially, it behaves like an all-wheel drive automotive in 4A.

There’s also an electronic locking rear differential on four-wheel drive models that may be activated through the infotainment touchscreen.

All 4×4 variants of the Everest also receive an e-shifter gear selector as a substitute of a standard mechanical gear selector.

Depending on the Everest variant, there are a number of drive modes that change the vehicle’s throttle response, gearshifts, traction control and ABS. These include the next:

• Normal
• Eco
• Tow/Haul
• Slippery
• Mud/Ruts
• Sand

Standard on all 4×4 models besides the entry-level Ambiente is an ‘Off-Road Screen’ (ORS) that’s in a position to display the next information:

• Driveline and electronic diff lock indication
• Steering angle
• Vehicle pitch and roll angles
• Off-road features button

A surround-view camera, which is standard on the top-of-the range Platinum and optional on the Trend 4×4 and Sport, may also be interacted with on this ORS.

Efficiency

• Ambiente 4×2: 7.1 litres per 100km
• Ambiente 4×4: 7.2 litres per 100km

The entire range features an 80L fuel tank, although aftermarket specialist ARB offers a long-range unit as well.

Dimensions

The 2024 Ford Everest is 4914mm long, 2207mm wide, and as much as 1842mm tall, with a 2900mm wheelbase. 

The utmost braked towing capability for the whole Everest range, including 4×2 variants, is 3500kg.

Maximum payload is as much as 741kg, gross vehicle mass (GVM) is as much as 3150kg, and gross combined mass (GCM) is 6250kg across the whole range.

Boot capability with the second-row seats upright is 898L and the third-row upright there may be 259L.

In vehicles fitted with Ford’s factory tow bar, there’s a trailer coverage system that lets you set the length of the trailer you’re towing. It supports trailers various from 2.4 metres to 10 metres long.

This method takes the length of the trailer intro account and adjusts the sensitivity of the blind-spot assist.

The optional Tow Pack also includes an integrated brake controller.

All Everest models have a Tow/Haul drive model that optimises gear shifts to keep up the very best power delivery and engine braking, in addition to reducing shift ‘busyness’ when towing.

Servicing and Warranty

The Everest is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty just like the wider Ford range.

Maintenance is required every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, and the primary five services are each priced at $379 under the Blue Oval’s capped-price service program – $50 higher per service than in pre-MY24 vehicles.

Safety

The Ford Everest earned a five-star ANCAP safety rating on the back of an 86 per cent rating for adult occupant protection, a 93 per cent rating for child occupant protection, a 74 per cent rating for vulnerable road user protection, and an 86 per cent safety assist rating.

The five-star rating applies to the entire Everest range, and is predicated on tests carried out on the closely related Ford Ranger ute.
