The 2023 Ford Everest has been spotted in full camouflage, confirming that the all-new model is on its way.

The Ford Everest is essentially a 7-seater SUV built on the Ford Ranger bakkie platform. Sold as a rival to the popular Toyota Fortuner, the Everest also has to contend with rivals in the form of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Haval H9 and Isuzu MU-X. In 2021, Ford SA introduced the Everest Sport, with a cosmetic upgrade.

The 2023 Ford Everest was recently spotted on the roads around Ford’s facility in Dearborn, Michigan. Like the all-new Ford Ranger (which will also underpin the all-new Volkswagen Amarok) and be sold as a global model, the Ford Everest is expected to follow a similar strategy.

Despite the heavy camouflage, there are distinct Ford F-Series styling cues at the front and rear. We suspect it will still be underpinned by a body-on-frame setup and it will be powered by the new generation of big V6 turbodiesel engines. It should retain its 7-seat functionality and arguably class-leading digitally connected cabin. We’re hopeful the flagship model’s safety and assistance tech will be made available across the range.

2023 Ford Everest ETA

We’re expecting Ford to take the covers off of its all-newRanger in early 2022, and it would be fair to assume that the Everest will follow not too long after its bakkie sibling.
