Ford has teased the new-generation Everest with a video from the final phase of development before its debut in the first quarter of 2022. The SUV variant of the Ford Ranger will roll out in selected markets, including the Philippines, Thailand, and Australia, while it is also expected to reach India under the Endeavour nameplate.
The prototype shown in the video is wearing a camouflage inspired by mountain peaks, but we can clearly see that most of its body panels are shared with the all-new Ranger. Naturally, the front end is identical with the pickup, while the profile is different towards the back where a fully enclosed five-door SUV body has replaced the rear bed. Compared to the previous generation, the new Everest adopts a tougher look, thanks to the boxy fenders and the new rear with vertical-oriented LED taillights.

While we don’t have pictures of the interior, the Everest will likely get the Ranger’s dashboard, which means it will get the 10.1-inch or 12-inch touchscreen featuring the SYNC4 infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and higher quality materials compared to the outgoing model. However thanks to the different bodystyle it will offer greater legroom and more cargo space.
The new Everest will be sharing the upgraded ladder-frame architecture with the Ford Ranger and the upcoming VW Amarok, inheriting the off-road credentials associated with those models. Powertrain options will be similar, likely including the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder petrol, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel, and the more powerful 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel. Finally, an electrified variant has been spied testing hinting at a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Ford will likely share more information about the Everest closer to its official debut in the first quarter of 2022.
