Making it to the top of the highly competitive SUV segment in South Africa can be compared to climbing Mount Everest, with solid competition against the likes of the Toyota Fortuner and the Isuzu MU-X. However, the Ford Everest certainly lives up to its name, offering a tough, capable, and versatile SUV.
Built on the platform of their highly successful Ford Ranger bakkie, the Everest SUV is a stylish and capable vehicle designed to endure the tough terrain of South Africa and cruise around the most luxurious regions of the country.
Chery drivers benefit from modern safety features across the range — including stability control, multiple airbags, and tyre pressure monitoring systems — which insurers may reward with lower premiums. Whether you're commuting in a Tiggo 4 Pro or adventuring in a Tiggo 8 Pro Max, Hippo helps you protect your car and your pocket.
Designed to look at home on a 4X4 track and in an office park, the Ford Everest is a vehicle for almost any occasion. The spacious interior offers occupants great levels of comfort and the cabin is furnished in leather with neat trim detailing.
The Everest doesn't skimp on electronics, coming standard with Ford's Active Park Assist and a large infotainment system screen that dominates the fascia, connecting to media via Bluetooth or USB.
If adventure sparks your interest, the Ford Everest caters for that as well with a highly capable 4WD terrain management system and an electronic-locking rear differential to help tackle the toughest terrains.
The new base Ford Everest model is fitted with a 2.0 L bi-turbo petrol engine producing 157 kW and 500 Nm of torque with a combined fuel economy of 7.6 L/100 km. Power is managed through a 10-speed automatic gearbox.
