September 13: 2023 Ford Everest pricing and specifications
Snapshot
- 2023 Ford Everest pricing and features
- Choice of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder or a 3.0-litre V6 diesel
- Pricing up by at least $2900
Our earlier coverage, below, has been updated to reflect the Australian launch of the Ford Everest and its five-star ANCAP safety rating.
The 2023 Ford Everest large SUV has arrived in Australian showrooms.
The second-generation Everest will be available in four variants – Ambiente, Trend, Sport and Platinum – with a choice of two diesel engines: a carryover twin-turbo four-cylinder or a new single-turbo V6.
Unlike its Ranger ute sibling, pricing for the Everest has increased by a larger amount than the minor jump first expected.
21
The largest bump for the Ranger resulted in its list price increasing by no more than $2240, while the smallest rise in the Everest is by $2900.
This is largely due to the new powertrains available over the outgoing model.
The smallest jump for the Everest is a $2900 increase for the Ambiente and Trend 4x4 grades, while the Trend 4x2 has gone up by $3200 over its predecessor.
Although the Sport and Platinum (formerly Titanium) have risen by a considerable $4700 and $6500 respectively, both are now powered by Ford's V6 turbo-diesel, rather than the bi-turbo found in lower variants.
The Ford Everest competes against the Toyota LandCruiser Prado in the large SUV segment, in addition to the Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Fortuner.

3.0-litre diesel V6
Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy
Carrying across from the outgoing Everest is Ford's 2.0-litre, bi-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine, with its power cut by 3kW to 154kW at 3750rpm, while torque remains unchanged at 500Nm between 1750 and 2000rpm.
New to the Everest is a V6, with the 3.0-litre, single-turbo diesel powerplant pushing out 184kW at 3250rpm and 600Nm between 1750 to 2250rpm – a jump of 41kW and 130Nm over the old 3.2-litre five-cylinder diesel.
While a 10-speed torque converter automatic transmission is standard across the range, the entry-level Ambiente and Trend variants can be ordered with 4x2 or full-time 4x4, while all V6-powered models feature 4x4 as standard.
Fuel economy figures can be found in the table below:
| 2.0-litre 4x2 | 7.1L/100km |

All versions of the Ford Everest are covered by a five-star ANCAP safety rating
Safety
The latest Ford Everest is covered by a five-star rating from ANCAP, based on testing conducted under the latest 2020-22 criteria.
It has an 86 per cent score for adult occupant protection, 93 per cent for children, 74 per cent for vulnerable road users, and 86 per cent for safety assist.
For a full safety report, read our story here.
Examples produced before August 20, 2022, will require a software update to become eligible for a five-star rating, due to the ability to leave lane-keep assist switched off when the vehicle is restarted, which contravenes ANCAP's rules for a top rating.
Nine airbags (dual front, side head, curtain, driver and front passenger knee, and front-centre) are fitted across the range.
Each variant includes the following active safety equipment as standard:
| Autonomous emergency braking (vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist, junction) |
| Reverse autonomous emergency braking |
| Forward collision warning |
| Post-collision braking |
| Lane keep assist |
| Lane departure warning |
| Adaptive cruise control |
| Driver attention alert |
| Blind-spot alert |
| Rear-cross traffic alert |
| Automatic high-beam |
| Reversing camera |
| Front and rear parking sensors. |
