New Ford Everest Sport Unveiled in First-Ever Digital Launch
A few days ago, I attended the digital launch of the newest addition in Ford’s growing SUV lineup — the new Ford Everest Sport.
The new SUV was unveiled via Zoom conference to a group of people in attendance which included bloggers, media people, and car enthusiasts.
The Everest Sport was introduced by no less than the managing director of Ford Philippines himself– PK Umashankar.
The new Everest Sport comes in Absolute Black, Aluminum Metallic, Arctic White, and Deep Crystal Blue, a new color variant available to the Ford Everest and is exclusive to the new Everest Sport
The new Everest Sport supports the Everest’s position as one of the safest and most capable SUVs in the market today. We are confident that the new Ford Everest Sport will set another standard for mid-size SUVs in the market with its design and technology that match various needs and lifestyles.
When asked what really sets this variant apart from other SUVs in the market, Ford Motors encapsulated it in three words — look, safety, and technology. Indeed it is, at least in my opinion. Ford, as an automobile manufacturer, really delivers in aesthetics and safety features including driver-assist technologies.
BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE
The new Everest Sport is powered by a 2.0L Turbo Diesel Engine which offers 180PS of power and 420Nm of torque and is matched with Ford’s latest 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift™ – helping to deliver better acceleration, fuel efficiency, and smoothness across on-road and off-road environments.
For entertainment and connectivity, it is equipped with an 8-inch LCDTouchscreen,Sync® 3 with Apple Carplay and Android Auto Connectivity, two USB ports, and 10 speakers.
Inside its spacious cabin, the new Everest Sport features a unique blue stitchingaccent around the steering wheel, dashboard, seats, center, console, and door trims delivering a sporty premium feel. Adding value to the Sport is a standard leather seat with 8-way power driver seat function, smart keyless entry with push button start, and a power liftgate with hands-free function.
Enhanced design and a host of driver-assist technologies that will help widen the appeal of the Ford Everest among customers who appreciate the vehicle’s versatility, safety, and capability.
EXTERIOR AESTHETICS
The latest Everest variant is a standout on the road with unique black body exterior accents such as a new mesh grille design, an embossed EVEREST hood badge at the front, gloss black painted wheels and exterior mirrors on the side, black tailgate applique in the rear and a ‘SPORT’ decal on the liftgate. LED projector headlamps, daytime running lights and 20-inch alloy wheels also come standard in the new Everest Sport.
