New high-tech 2-litre turbo diesel engines and 10-speed transmissions for the blue oval's big SUV.
Ford SA has upgraded its Everest range with the advanced new 2.0-litre turbo diesel engines and 10-speed auto transmissions recently introduced to the Ranger bakkie line-up.
It employs a twin turbocharger set-up to improve both low-end torque and high-end power, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions, and powers the Everest XLT 4x2 and 4x4 models, as well as the top-spec Everest Limited. The new transmission allows selected gears to be locked out from the automatic shifting range, which can be beneficial when towing, driving in slippery conditions or climbing steep gradients. There’s also a sport mode to enhance the transmission’s response, and the driver can shift gears manually using buttons on the lever.
Inside, new design details and the use of more soft-touch materials give the cabin a richer feel. The Limited version is further glammed up with contrast stitching and shadow chrome finishes, perforated leather and high-quality paints. This is in addition to existing active driving features that include semi-automatic parallel park assist, adaptive cruise control with forward collision alert, , lane keeping aid and lane departure warning, blind spot information system with cross-traffic alert, tyre pressure monitoring, and auto high-beam control.
