- The new generation of Ford Everest has certainly piqued the interest of South African motorists, who have had to be patient with the vehicle's delayed market introduction. We finally got our hands on the top-spec Platinum variant for a video and written review. So, what do we think? Only one way to find out.
In this very detailed review, our video journalist Ciro De Siena gets stuck into the details of the new Everest, including his verdict on the new, powerful, V6 turbodiesel motor under the bonnet.
We also take a thorough look at the new interior and vertical touchscreen infotainment system, a test of the second row of seats and a look at the boot space and towing capacity.
Let us know what you think of the new Ford Everest in the comments below.

I have never seen such a great improvement from a car. It's like its a whole new car, compared to the previous one. Kudos 👏 to Ford, they nailed it
I don't know who can afford these cars anymore
It’s ridiculous. Maybe all the public servants and those who dodge the tax system.
Ciro’s analogies are just unmatched 😂 Such an entertaining motoring journalist.
Nice car with great features
Pricing is crazy, that basically Land Cruiser territory 😂
Never thought the Everest would rise to 1M so quick
So here's a tip for buyers if you want an American SUV under 600k
I suggest you look at Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland previous generation
And the Ford Everest Limited ( Also previous generation)
They are not super outdated, they do have most of the modern features. Lots of power and torque. They have everything you need in an SUV.
Basically just get a low mileage previous model with a warranty plan.
The Land Cruiser is definitely not R1,1m. Check the prices.
@@InfoHubZA the top spec 4.0 V6 Land Cruiser Prado costs around that much
There is no land cruiser for that price, they are double the price, why I don't know.
@@michelle_0891 how is the 4.0 v6?
@@labourlawact7826 no way not anymore
Test drove it, brilliant vehicle all round. Anything close to it will cost double the amount. Already a waiting list, well done Ford, this is a winner.
Wait until you are disappointed by the trouble all these electronics will give, and worse mediocre dealerships treatment. Ford has a terrible culture they need t fix, and urgently
It might be a winner but we all know the Fortuner will still outsell the Everest
Have just experienced all the problems with the platinum,suspension problems ,software problems that they couldn’t fix replaced car didn’t help consumption of 14.5 l per 100 kms
It’s a shocker lost R 110 k to get ride of it ….. Ford dealers not interested in buying back their own product at a discounted price …… true story
@@user-yo2np8ti5l fake story
cant belive I just watched thiss episode fully and enjoyed
The new Everest in this Platinum spec looks great, a major step forward for Ford- well done to the styling department! It definitely appeals to a particular market who will get caught up in the perceived looks and gadgetry - but underneath all the plastic it will be guaranteed to be plagued with Fords questionable build quality.
Say what you want, they just can't beat Toyota in terms of all the important stuff like reliability, durability, resale value & after sales service!
That’s a fact
It really is a very good looking SUV. But, nearly R1.2 mil does seem steep, and also a bit of a let-down that our (SA) Platinum model doesn't get matrix LED headlights. Ford's hit-and-miss reliability doesn't help either. Then again, I have a 2019 XC60 that hasn't gone wrong once in four years, and their reliability is supposedly not great either. Maybe just don't buy the first batch...
@@nicomackay9461 australian version of platinum has matrix, 360 camera etc. its 85k$. This is awarded the car of the year 2023.
Very true
What many owners and dealer sales agents don't know, is the front sun visors can slide on their mounting when unclipped! Brilliant for when the sun is between normal sun visor position and the rear view mirror!! And when you swing the visors to the side, it also slides on its mounting so you don't have sun glare or burn in that irritating gap with door pillar!!! I know this coz I own a 2021 version.
"Biceps with an eagle eating a snake" had me in stitches 🤣
Love the new Ford Everest. Looks amazing and has amazing features. It’s an amazing value for money car. I would buy it any day.
Amazing car year, value for money lol don't know.
Had the privilege of seeing this beast in real life, awesome vehicle!
It looks lovely. Thanks for reviewing
Great car! Enjoyed the review. I downloaded the new app and you're right its awesome! The old one was good but this kicks it up quite a few notches.
That's great to hear! Thanks for your support
We once got an entire 1000cc Super Bike in the back of the 2022 Limited Everest... that space back there with all the seats down is good....
The driver seat had to he pushed forward a bit but nothing one couldn't drive with
Went for a test drive recently, this is a R1.2 million car that should cost R2 million. Beyond brilliant in all aspects. That motor is something special.
For a 2 mil. Ii would rather buy a second hand ferrari.🙃
@@grant2149 Good luck trying to service, maintain and finding parts for an old Ferrari! Money pit!
@@deskofpokemon Thanx👍
That's taking it a bit far , 1.2 mil you get better vehicles ... For 2 million the LC300 will give you change and be way better
@@Kavi4GP excatly Thank you tell him the truth...
Absolutely brilliant 💯
Since last 6 years ( may 2016 )I am watching your videos ❤😍😍
First video I saw on ur channel
That video is comparison between Toyota Fortuner vs Ford Everest depth video

Love from INDIA ❤
Great review. Is there anything on its reliability?
A very nice review of the Ford Platinum 😄
great vid again Ciro nice suv love to have one...
Great review! Elegant is the word I want. Please editor splash out some metric figures on the screen when some imperials are used
Would be nice if Ford SA gave us matrix LED headlights on the Platinum. Its standard equipment in other markets.
It deserves them... It will definitely look premium
Great review, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Looks good and the price is point on,just that in other markets where by they have the SUV and ranger already have problems and recalls
Not a Ford fan, but damn these are stunners🔥
Have you any idea why you only get the tow bar without the brake assist in SA as this affects the blind spot monitoring as well while towing?
I am impressed. The price, crazzzzy!!! Well done Ford.
Flip!That's an all-rounder..to think my Thunder is just over one year old..perhaps could have waited a bit longer for this
I am in love with this car…this car has a lot of features you can ask for….. for me it’s the best and very affordable.. because with other brands u will pay more than this price. ❤🎉🎉
I always enjoy your videos. This one is no different but you guys are really killing my OCD. The lack of continuity in the background gets me every time. I understand that it must be challenging to film but how can the conversation be flowing beautifully but the landscape outside the car is all over the place.
hi mate, thanks for the video. Please cover audio and matrix LED at night in platinum. If possible a short video at night (no street lights please). Appreciate it. Thanks.
It’s definitely got road presence , I can already picture them on the fast lane “ persuading “ hatchbacks to change lanes 😂
The poor Picantos 😂
@@labourlawact7826 road Rambo...
Stunning car! Toyota will have to cone up with something special to challenge this car. Thanks for a great video and channel.
They dont need to challenge it..Toyota is more basically built with the name.
Toyota's reliability even from a 1990's car already slaps this🤣
Thank you for supporting our channel :)
They need to bring the 2023 Sequoia from the USA to compete with this everest
@@labourlawact7826 Your name sends shivers down my spine.
Beautiful car but holy bajoly that price is eye watering. The Fortuner might be longer in the tooth but it’s also almost R300k cheaper for the VX which is why it will still outsell this. A million bucks for a Ford… who would have thought…
Yep. Although, the reality is that a Million ZAR is not that much anymore... That is the even more scary part!!! Most of us are just not earning what we should be earning OR at least, what we where earning a few years back, thanks to the tumbling Rand... ALSO, Thanks to the A...N...C...
Wait for the new Fortuner. In order to take the fight to Ford, it will be similarly priced. That said, for that extra 300k you get a lot of car. The Everest no longer competes with the Fortuner, but the Prado
Isn’t a million rand about $60k US dollars?
That’s about right for a pickup truck based suv
"which is why it will still outsell this"
You sound like you gamble too much. Car reviews are just car reviews, not horse races.
Honestly, how many of the touch screen functions can you operate first time around WITHOUT taking your eyes off the road?
Does it really matter... 🤔 Every. Single. Person. on the road is constantly on their phones anyway.
@@user-zp6ln4su2r I was gonna agree then i saw this comment
@@user-zp6ln4su2r 🤣
Great show
I am from Ramphosa land
It strange the Ford Everest is made in Thailand
The top of the range here is new generation Ford Everest sport and 4wd
Bi turbo 2 litre diesel sells for 950 rand here but no platinum version here
I had the pleasure if driving the diesel single turbo here and drove 2200 km thoroughly enjoyed the driving experience ,evening has a driver alert system after continuous drive of 200 km telling it time for driver to stop and refuel with coffee
Good show
Kind regards Mally
App is awesome and looks a lot better, well done guys. Only small issue I have is that I cannot zoom in on the pictures of the cars, I am on iPhone 🤔
Great to hear, thank you. We will pass this feedback on to our Dev team.
@@Carscoza Also really enjoying the app, it is much improved.
A feature that I would like to see is a filter for a vehicle's power output. Maybe in 25kw increments or so. So you could filter for a car under R300k with over 100kw as an example.
Saw it and the Ranger last year at the Nampo in Bredasdorp, good looking thing yes. But as one of the chaps said, "as ford nie so kak kar was nie, sou ek een koop" want daai ding is darm mooi.
After GM stopped producing RHD vehicles and the Holden brand was shutdown in Australia and New Zealand, I have been at a loss as to what I am going to upgrade to in the next couple of years. I have always liked the look of the Rangers and had a couple of them as company vehicles but Ford has not done an SUV to match the styling and performance of the Ranger range until now. I will definitely be looking at the Everest Platinum when the time comes to upgrade and I also hear they will be bringing out a Hybrid version. Not sure how far away that model is.
@Ciro De Siena why do you think SA is not getting the adaptive matrix headlights on the new everest? We will be paying a premium for a car wich is sold with everything in other countries even the Ranger Wildtrack V6 is not fitted with this options.
That muscle punchline hit 💪 the spot- LOL!
2:02 - 2:18 nice one Ciro
Great video as always.... Thanks Ciro and team. On a side question how do car companies come up with prices.....marketing team sell it for 55000 USD its really cheap..... Hits SA market at over R1 million and three quarters of the market cant buy....
All cars are generally overpriced in SA both the cars that are built in SA are still freaking expensive
55 000 usd is R1.1 million rands
@@anelesibanda9389 55kUSD is R930k but there are all sorts of import duties and taxes that needs to be added and why its R1.1m
Absolutely awesome SUV, do yourself a favour...go test drive one at your local Ford dealership. I did, and came out amazed at the ride. It reminded me of a Discovery in terms of ride quality and the V6 is very quiet even under acceleration. Phenomenal SUV, looks better in the metal too!
Most Discos are Air Ride
Saw one in person it look so luxurious and premium, props to the americans .
Ciro is this cars V6 really impressive? I test drove it over the weekend and I expected abit more our of a V6d with 180+kw.
Love it.would love to see this in a fast charge PHEV..that can run tools and my home and office as we continue with 6 hours blackouts per day. That has now gone up in JHB stage 6
And it wont be getting better in next 10 years until IPP start .
We had 20+ Toyotas and Fords since the 2000s.
Toyota was always the best but it has really changed since 2015.
All Toyota is reliable and second hand value, nothing more. Objectively Ford is better in every other category. We have had 6 Fords in our family since 2015. None of them has ever broken down or had a problem. Our 2016 Ford Ranger 3.2TDCi 4x4 supercab has 250 000km and is stilling running like new. Toyota has always won reliability, but its getting really close. The last thing Toyota has going for it is second hand value.
Great talk, but sales will tell in the end.
Reminds me of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The pricing has moved to another level. Fortuner will outsell it and Prado will hold better value.
Actually in Hermanus we have a ford dealer and i saw one there was amazed to see one didnt know we had it here already
Looks good! Gorgeous SUV
isnt the Platinum supposed to have the Matrix LED Headlights? i noticed none of the Wildtraks currently for sale on Autotrader has the Matrix LEDs too. What is the story there? see its standard on the aussie versions of the Everest Platinum and available as an option (Performance Pack upgrade) on the Wildtraks.... or is it a case same as when Toyota launched the 8th gen locally back in 2015/6 and it just came with standard halogen headlights and after a year or so the HID with LED eyebrow DRL was introduced? if it is to curb costs on a R1Mil + car, that is just silly...
I am impressed. The Everest has done a great impact already
Nice car .. mara I love the older version for some reason lol maybe it's the infotainment system placement for me which killed thee vibe 😅
Please include acceleration (0 to 100) tests on your reviews, thanks in advance 🙂
Stunning car. Love it
So everyone is aware. The front-side park sensors only begin to beep if an object is within 25cm from the vehicle. So if there is a bollard hidden over the front left bonnet, and you don’t know it’s there, you will only have milliseconds to react to stop the car. The specification says these alerts should start from 60cm but even that isn’t giving you enough time if it worked as designed. Sadly it only starts from 25cm which is near to contact. Plus the beep is very soft compared to previous models. So basically for such a technically advanced vehicle, and a huge vehicle, one of the most basic features is almost non-functional.
8:07 Coming up from Hout Bay side to Alphen Hill drive☺👍
Definitely a good looking vehicle.Pity that these cars are so expensive now.
This looks amazing, price is high but its the norm these days with the price of cars, a fully kitted polo is over half a bar so this is fair to be honest.
I would say it's pretty well spec car and that made me change my mind about fortuner and hilux
Ciro, I can see that the Christmas season has been good to you
11 litres / 100 km hope it has a larger tank than the older model? What range do you get?
awesome detailed and useable review Ciro.
what an attractive and beautiful SUV.
love it
Many thanks!
Can't get this car in the UK. But if it was available it would be expensive on fuel as here in the UK it is equivalent to 34. 00 ZAR per litre.
I’ve got a Fortuner and I love it to bits! But I have to say this looks pretty gorgeous! Will wait to see what the Future of Fortuners bring! 😉
No matter what Ford brings out, we'll always land with Toyota it's our cult 😉
@@labourlawact7826 the ranger is second on the lists either way
Lovely vehicle but I am afraid the price is just too high. Sad that the Kuga line has been discontinued in SA.
Ford is planning to launch 2 further SUVs in SA the Puma and the next gen Escape. Those will or should be priced alot more competitively
@@winstonmace4865 thanks for this information. I have a 2019 Kuga ST Line and I enjoy it and wanted to stay with the Kuga line but will check these new ones out.
Can't wait..
Beautiful car indeed. Will wait for it to drop in price😅😅
Excellent looking vehicle
"You might think it's a Ford Platinum"... I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree with you it looks nice and expensive but not flashy
Love the French Fry feature
Well... Ford did say that the Everest competes with the Prado than the Fortuner hence the price.
This guy is a great presenter
Definitely the car I would buy right now if I had that kind of money lol
Think its an amazing car ... all the right features, looks good and is priced right ... probably wont last forever as a toyota but who wants to drive a car forever ... btw my ranger is 6 years old with no issues ... cannot speak for others ... reliablity i cannot complain about and ford has given me 1st class service
Oily bits...well said brother!!!!
This new generation of the everest and ranger, is so menacing. Proper kit that
Great video. Although, I'd like to see it up against the new Prado-when it eventually comes out 😁. However, in Australia, there's a good few Rangers that simply switched off and another that applied brakes at 80km/h. Saw these on UA-cam. Would there be any comment on this from Ford SA. Before I found out about the new Prado, I was ready to sign the OTP for a Platinum, however, now I'm waiting for the Prado. . Reliability of the Toyota is very hard to beat.
Wait and get the Prado 😉 Toyota lasts forever! The fact you've halted proves the Prado is the way to go.
This competes with the Fortuner, not the Prado... get your ducks in a row.
its gonna cost 10-20k more than everest if they launch the same features with digital db etc.
New Prado has definitely had a much needed updated. I'm not in love with the new exterior look though. Also the GXL will price match this platinum, with the Kakadu being around 20k more expensive.
Interesting comparisons to be made.
For me the deal breaker would be a cambelt and the implications of excessively maintenace costs that are associated with cam belts. If it haas a timing chain then that would be tempting for me.
have you seen what happens when a timing chain tensioner goes wrong?
@@nedyahyakcam Atleast the chain tensioner warns you with the noise
@@nedyahyakcam it's not often
Could you please do a video about mew Amoda C5
Great One Ciro...But it will be nice to also mention MUX in between as you mention other SUVs. I went to view the car you driving yesterday and I was underwhelmed. I like the new Isuzu MUX more.
While its each to his own, it's very strange that you find the new Everest underwhelming, yet find the MUX, which looks and feels like a previous generation car to the Everest, as a better product.
Isuzu MUX better than this ?? Dude - Its so obvious that you are a salesman at Isuzu :-) Mux is not even better than previous Gen Everest 🙂
@@saudabrahams Indeed, it is underwhelming for my liking. Remember, it is personal preference at the end. Yours will differ from mine...No Judgemental 😉
@@mprinsgsxr Believe me, I'm not. It just happened that I'm driving the new MUX and I won't charge it for this Everest...that is my point.
@@khayasodidi and that's what I said, just hitting you with the facts though
I am picking my up mine on Monday and I can't wait. Your review has just made me even more excited.
I'm curious about the fuel consumption being as high as it is . I have a Disco 5 with the same engine in it and I get 9.5l/100 around town and 8 fully loaded from Jhb to Natal which i think is great . It could be the aerodynamics ? That Ford front end looks rather blunt . That engine is a gem . Just change the oil pump at 120 000 if you want to keep it long .
This isn't a disco engine. It's ford's new engine. Disco came with a V6 and now has a straight 6.
Yes , now they are .The 2017 to 2021 models had the Ford XJ V6 single turbo engine . Mine is a 2020 model.
Sorry AJD -V6 or Lion family of engines . Look it up .
Just for interrests sake, the new diesel v6 is from Land Rover and first came out in the Disco 4 in 2004... it will also be in the Amarok as apposed to the Audi V6 that the current Amarok has. Would you trade in your Audi V6 for a Landy V6??
looking forward to the new landcruiser prado review
This is a Beautiful Vehicle, it something you can drive for very long time.
Apparently People are already having problems in Australia with the gearboxes...
Ford never disappoints
Impressive! I didn't expect that! But damn the prices of new cars these days...
I have the Gen2 Everest, and I love it a lot! Best car I've ever had, not worried about climbing onto things, fitting things (and people), etc, so obvs my dream car is the new Everest. But I'm disappointed that there are only 2 options available in SA, either blacked-out like G.I. Jane (cause that's exactly what a 30 something mom wants 🤦♀️) or pay over a million bucks for a "normal" looking SUV that kills me on diesel 🤔 Love the big screen though, I noticed they switched the cruise control buttons to the other side of the steering wheel, that will take some getting use to! Also, the plug is very disappointing 😞 The 2 biggest issues I have with my Everest are: 1. The spare wheel is not the same size as the tires on the vehicle and 2. The painted door handles scratch like crazy. Would have liked a more in-depth look at the features that make the new Everest better in this video, but thanks for the review!
When are you doing the new Amarock?
Fortuner Everest mux Pajero sport were all great, the one thing that bothers me is the trailblazer, once a 7 Seater Colorado SUV turned into crossover
Damn Mary Barra
In reality, you can't say anything about this until you go for a comprehensive test drive. This is a new dawn for SUV's in SA, nothing on the roads in that price bracket can come close to the new Everest. Go and test drive it, your mind will be blown.
1.74m is 5.7 just saying. Love the front light design. I can see the VW 3.0 V6 has influenced the variants.
Because I enjoy watching reviews of cars that I will never be able to afford okay!
Like beautiful and prices not so bad
Ford never disappoints.

The Motor Industry has really changed
Who would have thought that one day buy a ford that is above a million
Interesting beast no doubt. Pretty eye watering prices of these on their website there. Damn!!!
I mean imagine off roading in this? 💀 Dinging the ‘Platinum’ festooned bodywork? Those 20 inchers? Yerrrr!
Guess we wait for the mid life refresh where they take of features and drop the price and call it an XLS? Or that is never going to happen now that it’s an import? 😢
