Ford doesn’t sell the Everest in the United States, and that’s a double shame. Not only is it in essence a Ranger SUV, but it also packs a diesel engine, two things American customers can’t have. As we recently discovered curing our review, the Everest has more than a few qualities that would resonate with American buyers.
One of the most important markets for the Everest is Australia, and for the 2026 model year, a new sporty limited-run version will be produced. Sadly, it is not an Everest Raptor, which we’d love to become a reality.
The newcomer is called the Everest Sport Bi-Turbo. It reintroduces the four-cylinder engine to the lineup, albeit in restricted numbers, after Ford had shifted the SUV to a V6-only setup. This version pairs the Sport trim with the 2.0-liter bi-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel and four-wheel drive. Production will be limited to 700 units, with assembly scheduled through September and October before customer deliveries begin.
Review: The Ford Everest Is The Ranger SUV You Can’t Get In The US
Ford Australia is keen to point out that because the Everest Sport Bi-Turbo comes equipped with both the Touring Pack and Prestige Paint as standard, it’s actually more well-equipped than the existing Everest Sport V6. Important elements of the Sport package include black exterior accents and distinctive black alloy wheels.
Thanks to the fitment of the Touring Pack, the Everest Sport Bi-Turbo comes standard with a 360-degree camera, tow bar and hitch, integrated trailer brake controller, and Ford’s Pro Trailer Backup Assist function. It’ll be sold in Blue Lightning, Alabaster White, Shadow Black, Meteor Grey, and Aluminum exterior finishes.
The Ford Everest’s 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine produces 207 hp and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque, while coupled to a standard 10-speed automatic transmission. Those seeking more power will need to opt for the available Sport model with a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6, which produces 247 hp and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque.
Price And Positioning
Local prices for the Everest Sport Bi-Turbo kick off from AU$75,000 ($49,700) driveaway. It will likely prove to be ideal for those who want the black accents of the Everest Sport and are eager to take advantage of the four-cylinder’s better fuel economy. This combination could make it a good option for both urban city dwellers and those planning long road trips across the country.
