Inside, the Everest is a true seven seater – unless of course you put six-foot-plus occupants in the third row. The front seats are power adjustable and supremely comfortable with support in all the right places, and the middle row offers the flexibility of a 60-40 split as well as folds down fully flat. The third row can split 50-50 and also folds down fully flat, and with both rows down, there is over 2,000 litres of boot space available.
Ford officials expect the Everest to be in the Indian market within six months, which should see it on our roads by the festive season this year. Specifications and performance are impressive, and if Ford gets the pricing right, it might just run away with the title of class-best SUV.
Wait and watch!
