The presence of the new Ford Everest in the promotional actions that were made on the coast were One of the great summer attractions For cars fans.
Built on the platform that carries the Ranger Pickup, this 4×4 arrives with a size higher than its competitors, a robust structure, a high level of equipment and a naphtera mechanics, a characteristic that for many years was not available in that category. In Clarion We could try it.
The 4×4 segment derived from pickup has been dominated for years by the Toyota Sw4, of national manufacture. And the only other option that has been at times available is the Chevrolet Trailblazer, made in Brazil. Both models are only offered with turbodiesel engines.
That is why Ford’s bet attracts attention, since it brings with the new model a propeller that is also offered with Deportivo Mustang in other markets: a 2.3 -liter turbo gasoline capable of delivering up to 300 horsepower.
Its mechanics is completed with a 10 -speed automatic box and a connectable double traction system With reducing box.
Manufactured in ThailandFord Everest is a novelty in our market but reality indicates that it is a model that already existed with the past generation of the Ranger.
Its resemblance in the tube with that of the national production pickup is unquestionable: there are only few elements that are not repeated and the design concept remains unchanged.
With a wheelbase of 2,900 mm and a width of 1,923 mm, the almost 5 meters that measures long seem less thanks to their good proportions. Anyway, is the largest in the category.
Inside the similarity with Ranger is also undeniable, although there are some differences in favor of the national pickup. The instrument board, for example, is smaller and less complete in Everest, at least in the only version that reaches the country (Titanium) and compared to the Limited+, a ral of the truck of the truck made in Pacheco.
The terminations are very good as well as materials. But the difference also does with him sliding panoramic roofsomething that their rivals do not have, and the air conditioning in the three rows of seats.
There is also a step (or two) above in the inner modularity and the ease of configuring the seats. The second row is divided into 2/3-1/3 and can move longitudinally or completely recline or fold backups. The third row are two individual seats that They display or fold electronicallymaking configuration very easy.
But the most notorious difference with respect to the competition is made with its Turbo Naftero engine, 4 cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, which DELIVERY 300 CV YY 446 NM DE TORQUE. Thanks to the injection and assistance of the turbo, 80% of that force is now available at 2,000 rpm. It is combined with the 10 -speed automatic box.
The traction system has 2h (simple rear traction), 4h (50-50 cast between the two axes) and 4L (multiplies the force thanks to the transfer box. But it does not carry the option of integral traction with an automatic coupling and distribution, something that is available in Ranger and that would look very good for this Everest for its route qualities.
In terms of security comes with 6 airbags and a package of driving assistance systems which includes emergency autonomous brake, blind spot and cross traffic alert, among others.
After several months of promoting the model, Ford Argentina finally announced the price of the only version it will offer in the local market: it will be offered to $ 79.800.000.
This value is higher than those of SW4, ranging from $ 71,188,000 to $ 75,101,000, and that Trailblazer, which is offered in a single version to $ 65,218,900. From the oval brand they stressed that the sale value announced for Everest will remain even throughout the month of June.
