The right Ford for your family? Ford Everest 2023 review: Trend Bi-Turbo 4x4 seven-seater test

The Ford Everest SUV range has plenty of choices, but is the Trend 4x4 seven-seater the best one?

It stacks up really well, according to our family reviewer, Ash Leung, who spent two weeks with this mid-range 4x4 version of the ute-based SUV, which competes against the Isuzu MU-X, Mitsubishi Pajero Sport and Toyota Prado.

The plusses are plenty - the big media screen, spacious cabin with good room in the second and third row seats, a nice easy drive experience and heaps of standard tech and safety equipment. The only issue, really, could be the fact that it's a diesel, and that mightn't suit everyone's ideals.

Watch Ash's review for much more detail and information.

Much better than prado or fortuner.
Awesome exterior and interior. Can't wait to get mine.

[mrhowmuch]

Really love the improved interior but the exterior is the real highlight this car will stand out in any parking lot and every highway…

This really is the right car for my family. My sister bought 2007 model Ford Everest 4x2. The only major problem is the reverse not function. Mechanic overhaul the transmission and now still running. I love this new gen 2023 Ford Everest Trend base model. Sadly no money to buy.😄😄😄😄😄😄

Had my Everest Platinum for over a month now. Drives quite well for its size, well sprung and planted. You won't be able to tell it has a solid axle at the back most of the time. Downside is the weight and the lack of power. Even with the V6 there is barely any acceleration. The touch screen isn't the most responsive/accurate and the software has a few glitches but is mostly ok. The DPF light comes on quite often - definitely don't buy this for city driving. Can't wait for someone to figure out now to tune this engine so I can give it some grunt. Averaging about 14L/100km for 80% city driving.

She is gorgeous and I rate her presentation 9 out of 10. 😊

[ravanan]

Had it been in India it would have been the best seller in it's segment.

[bosse]

Very nice. Would like that with a powerful V6 though.

[MrPjandjb]

What a great review. Good practical everyday observations Would have been good to see you do the Platinum model.

"My oh my, isn't it big"...I hear those words from time to time...

[simonleckey]

I would have to say the Everest has the Same issue as the Ranger with not having a 230V Power Outlet and no Gas Struts for the Bonnet. If you are Shorter then the Bonnet will be an issue.

[BomberFletch]

Driving only short trips isn't just bad for diesels, it isn't good for any car.

[nguyenlapphu]

UNREAL! Ford Everest has A PETROL OPTION!!!

[manutzsong]

Pre-order this in Thailand. Been 1 month pass already without a car and without a date when it will arrive.

[vsboy]

I think wagons are so much user friendly

[jetta.josh]

Does anyone else think this would be a good fit in the USA? I think this looks somewhat like a bigger Subaru Ascent and would fit perfectly between the Ford Explorer and Expedition.

[nomyafiftyonefifty]

With parking spots getting smaller Fix Or Repair Daily comes out with bigger and bigger vehicles.

[olivedrabgarage]

So is the woeful acceleration a factor of the vehicle or the Bi-Turbo engine? We live in semi rural SEQ and often have to overtake trucks and bloody annoying tourists hauling caravans....so getting out, around and back into the lane is important.

[Kabinretiree]

What was the drive away price for that particular car with the options and paint?

[kirinheng]

Short driving, the diesel engine isn't suitable??

[RazaliTompang]

We are of the same height, do we need to step on the side step to get in and out?
