The Ford Everest Sport is a superb vehicle with a great number of capabilities for anyone with an active lifestyle. This is one of Ford’s finest SUVs to handle rough and difficult terrain. It handles very well and its cornering ability is superb.
It comes with a four-wheel-drive system with selectable modes, depending on the prevailing terrain, however, many models within the range are rear-wheel drive-only, but all feature a locking rear differential, making all models capable off of the beaten path.
You can rely on its spacious interior that provides accommodation for 7 occupants with the three-row seat on board the ride. This we can truly say that Everest is the perfect vehicle for an active family considering its respectable off-road ability.
The Everest comes as standard with 7 seats, sporting various storage areas, rear charging ports, and 249-liters of boot space with all three rows of seating in place. With the third row folded flat, the boot volume increases to 876-litres and with the second row folded flat, there’s a massive 1 726-liters of loading space.

The Everest is another intimidating SUV striking an imposing figure dressed in Absolute Black paintwork and black trim. This black-on-black treatment makes the Sport look as if it belongs to the security detail of some obscure governmental agency. It looks aggressive but it’s a magnet for dirt and once you’ve attached a fair amount of red clay dust to it, it may feel as if it will never come clean, but it will polish up quite nicely. The Sport is shod with 20-inch wheels and Goodyear multi-terrain tires whose pedigree on the rocky trails cannot be questionable. Outside the obvious badging there is actually very little to distinguish this from a regular Limited model.
The Interior Design
