Ford NZ says the 2022 Everest will be available in three variants for New Zealand: Trend, Sport and new range-topping Platinum.
The interior design and inclusion of the SYNC 4A3-enabled 12-inch centre screens along with the fully digital instrument cluster will stand Everest apart from the competition, they suggest. The addition of features like a reach and height-adjustable steering wheel and improvements to SYNC should make living with the 2022 Everest a more enjoyable and stress-free experience.
2022 Ford Everest: Powertrains
Next-Generation Everest will feature two different engines, depending on the model purchased. In a first for the series, the Next-Gen Everest will now feature a 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine, pumping out 184kW of power and a decent 600Nm of torque, perfect for towing.
Producing 154kW & 500Nm, the tried and trusted 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel continues to impress, providing an excellent balance of pulling power and fuel economy. DriveLife found this engine superb for towing right down the North Island in a recent trip as part of our V8 Project Sunbeam Rapier.
As per the current model, to meet EU Stage 5 emissions regulations, all Next Generation Everest models will continue to require AdBlue.
