The new Ford Everest will be an alternative to already known models such as the Toyota SW4 and the Chevrolet Trailblazer, which apply the same formula of using a pickup as a base (the Hilux and the S10 respectively in these cases).

The new model of the oval brand will arrive imported from Thailand. And although there is no confirmation in this regard, there is a possibility that at some point it will be manufactured in the country, since it shares numerous components with the Ranger pikcup that is produced in General Pacheco, province of Buenos Aires.

The reinterpretation of the Fiat 600, launched in Europe in 2024, was inspired by the Opel Mokka, a compact SUV sold in Germany. It will be based on the Stellantis Group’s e-CMP2 platform, and in turn, it will take many elements from the Jeep Avenger, a smaller SUV than the Renegade that will be manufactured in Brazil and would be ready by 2026.
