Ford has released initial details for every model in the new Ford Everest line-up; pricing to follow in the coming weeks.


The 2023 Ford Everest wagon will be available in four variants when it arrives in Australian showrooms from the second half of this year, pending any delays.

The new line-up will start with the Ford Everest Ambiente and Ford Everest Trend (both model grades available in 4×2 and 4×4 guises), and then climb to the Ford Everest Sport and Ford Everest Platinium (both exclusively 4×4).

Prices are due to be announced in the coming weeks, however dealers have already begun accepting deposits “pending price and test drive”.



All models in the 2023 Ford Everest range have a braked towing capacity of 3500kg (up from today’s 3100kg).

The list of ARB accessories – and their prices – is yet to be announced, however reports on social media claim this information will be released a week from today, on 5 May 2022.

The current 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo diesel has been dropped.



The new standard engine – previously optional – is the twin-turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel (154kW/500Nm) backed by a 10-speed auto.

Although it’s the same combination available as an option in today’s Ford Everest, Ford says there have been further refinements to this drivetrain for the new model.

For the first time in the Ford Everest, a single-turbo 3.0-litre V6 diesel (184kW/600Nm, pictured above) will be available – also backed by a 10-speed auto – in Sport and Platinum model grades.



All new Ford Everest variants come with an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster – and a 10.1-inch or a 12-inch infotainment screen, depending on the model grade.

As with the new Ford Ranger ute on which the new Ford Everest is based, the steering wheel finally has height and reach adjustment.

All models also come with a full suite of advanced safety tech, including nine airbags (including a centre airbag between the front seats) and crash avoidance systems such as blind zone warning and rear cross-traffic alert.
