Limited Edition Ford Everest focuses on towing

FORD Australia’s roll-out of limited editions continues with the latest offering an Everest Sport Bi-Turbo-based variant that “blends style and capability”, according to the importer’s corporate spiel.

The Everest Limited Edition combines the popular black styling of the Sport with the 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo 4WD powertrain and is priced from $71,190 excluding on-road costs, or $75,000 driveaway (at participating dealerships).

With a focus on towing the supplementary model is equipped as standard with the Everest Touring Pack and Prestige Paint ex-factory.

The variant is restricted to a run of about 700 vehicles offering what Ford says is “a compelling new choice for Australian families and adventurers”.

Measured against other models in the Everest line-up, the new Sport Bi-Turbo features more standard equipment than the V6 Everest Sport for example thanks to the two standard fit option packs mentioned above.

Ford Australia says it is producing the model to meet a growing demand for a vehicle that is both a capable off-roader and a stylish urban vehicle.

It adopts the distinctive blacked-out design elements that are synonymous with the Sport nameplate, including black exterior accents and unique alloy wheels, and pairs them with the efficient and proven 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo diesel engine and a full-time 4WD system that will “allow owners to travel off the beaten track with confidence”.

Ford Australia marketing director Ambrose Henderson said, “We are thrilled to welcome the limited-edition Everest Sport Bi-Turbo to the Australian line-up”.

“It packages the highly popular 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo 4WD powertrain with the emotive black styling that our Sport customers love. We are confident its sharp price point and impressive array of standard features will resonate with style-conscious and utilitarian buyers alike,” he concluded.

The Touring Pack contains a suite of “premium” features including a 360-degree camera, tow bar and hitch, integrated trailer brake controller and pro trailer backup assist.

The limited-edition model is available in a five-colour palette including the Sport-exclusive Blue Lightning and in a first for the Everest Sport range, the pearlescent Alabaster White will be offered in lieu of the standard Arctic White. Other hues include Shadow Black, Meteor Grey, and Aluminium with all paint colours included in the vehicle’s price.

The Everest competes in the Large SUV segment against serious competition from Toyota’s LandCruiser Prado, and the Isuzu MU-X, with the Toyota comfortably leading the YTD (end August) sales race on 19,955 units, the Everest in second position on 16,922 units YTD and the MU-X third on 10,362.

Production of the Everest Limited Edition runs from September to October 2025 with first customer arrivals expected from October 2025.
