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
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
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Grand Cherokee Overland previous generation And the Ford Everest Limited ( Also previous generation) They are not super outdated, they do have most of the modern features.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 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!
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...
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.
This is my second time watching this review. I finally got to see the Sport trim at Waterfall, and wow, what a stunning car! It’s officially my new dream family car. Ford has been stepping up their game lately.
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.
@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.
@@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.
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...
Please can someone explain why you have keyless start stop button button but you still have a massive key that ends up sitting in the cup holder...make more sense to have a key that you put into a slot like old cars and still have 2 cup holders available??
Jeepers, what a silly observation. No-one is forcing you to place the key in the cupholder, keep it in your pocket, put it in the door pocket or wherever
@@ishakemyhead799 lol ja agreed its a minor thing...but it just represents something bigger...we solve a problem that no-one ever thought was a problem - starting a car with a key - and create a far bigger problem - keyless go cars seem to be easier to steal if you watch Carte Blanche...there are loads of similar examples...but ja, thats what we do.
Is it possible to do a review on the 2025 everest platinum? How about including the towing package within your review. That would be great. Thanks for first class reviews. Much appreciated.
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.
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
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....
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.
@@saudabrahams Indeed, it is underwhelming for my liking. Remember, it is personal preference at the end. Yours will differ from mine...No Judgemental 😉
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!
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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
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. ❤🎉🎉
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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??
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.
Why are there no Matrix LED lights on all SA Ford Ranger and Everest models? Knowing other markets are getting them and we are not is so not on. Thats one of the best features and its missing.....makes me think twice about buying the Wildtak.
The new Ford Everest is the New benchmark in the Bakkie based SUV Market. The look's are modern inside and out. Has all of the latest technology and safety features. The V6 is good value for money compared to it's more expensive rivals. I'm sure that the competition will catch up.
When I saw this vehicle it proved to be way better than a Toyota Fortuner in terms of looks. I hope that reliability and durability will also prove to be better. I'd choose this car than a Toyota Fortuner.
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
Lol overpriced yet it's still being bought, it's not just South Africans, people can't have preferences now and stick to their preferences? Because of some loser who find it outed? 😂😂😂 ai you have issues boet
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
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 ❤
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

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

No matter what Ford brings out, we'll always land with Toyota it's our cult 😉
@@BubblesTheCat1 the ranger is second on the lists either way
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.
Why are there no Matrix LED lights on all SA Ford Ranger and Everest models? Knowing other markets are getting them and we are not is so not on. Thats one of the best features and its missing.....makes me think twice about buying the Wildtak.
And the Amarok will have them locally.
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
Because I enjoy watching reviews of cars that I will never be able to afford okay!
Ford is the best when it comes to handling and steering precision
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 😅
Could you please do a video about mew Amoda C5
Well... Ford did say that the Everest competes with the Prado than the Fortuner hence the price.
Definitely a good looking vehicle.Pity that these cars are so expensive now.
Apparently People are already having problems in Australia with the gearboxes...
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
This guy is a great presenter
8:07 Coming up from Hout Bay side to Alphen Hill drive☺👍
The new Ford Everest is the New benchmark in the Bakkie based SUV Market. The look's are modern inside and out. Has all of the latest technology and safety features. The V6 is good value for money compared to it's more expensive rivals. I'm sure that the competition will catch up.
Sales will tell as usual, don't hold your breath.
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
When I saw this vehicle it proved to be way better than a Toyota Fortuner in terms of looks. I hope that reliability and durability will also prove to be better. I'd choose this car than a Toyota Fortuner.
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 .
It's a great car, but the Fortuner will continue to outsell it because South Africans are addicted to outdated, overpriced Toyotas.
Lol overpriced yet it's still being bought, it's not just South Africans, people can't have preferences now and stick to their preferences? Because of some loser who find it outed? 😂😂😂 ai you have issues boet
True 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let's compare reliability lol
Reliable
As they said, reliability… Ford will never come close. 4 Toyota’s in the garage
Absolutely brilliant 💯
In the words of "Mr How much". Well done Ford, Well done
15:55 is that like a bag where the whole bicycle goes into? When did people start doing that now???
1.74m is 5.7 just saying. Love the front light design. I can see the VW 3.0 V6 has influenced the variants.
awesome detailed and useable review Ciro.
what an attractive and beautiful SUV.
love it
Many thanks!
Great review. Is there anything on its reliability?
When are you doing the new Amarock?
It looks lovely. Thanks for reviewing
My bday present to myself, and wife approved
This is a Beautiful Vehicle, it something you can drive for very long time.
I would say it's pretty well spec car and that made me change my mind about fortuner and hilux
Just a shame about the adblue and that you don’t get it with the matrix headlights
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
Definitely the car I would buy right now if I had that kind of money lol
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 ❤
I think Ford should make an Everest Raptor for South Africa and the Asia Pacific.
Using the same twin turbo V6 as the Ranger Raptor.
I think that's the only time I'd consider buying an Everest
It's complicated bcs they have to fit the fox shocks😅😢
Beautiful car indeed. Will wait for it to drop in price😅😅
Can y'all please review the Nissan Patrol! I haven't seen a South African review of that car
looking forward to the new landcruiser prado review
