The 2024 Ford Everest large SUV is a popular choice among Australian adventurers thanks to its genuine 4WD capabilities and rugged ladder-frame chassis, but what about for families? After all, it's a versatile seven-seater, too.
Well, CarsGuide News Editor Tung Nguyen and his family of four have spent the past three months living with the Everest's flagship, the aptly named Platinum, to see if it's up to the rigours of everyday life, from shopping trips to kindergarten drop-offs and pick-ups, and everything in between.
In this expert review, he deep-dives the Everest Platinum's value equation, practicality, safety and driving performance, including just how well its rare turbo-diesel V6 engine goes around the city and on open roads.
Needless to say, there's a lot to like about the Isuzu MU-X rival - but that's not to say it's perfect. Watch on.

@gordonclark7632 9 месяцев назад

To have someone actually point out the advantages AND disadvantages of the vehicle. One thing I thought about was the offer of a 'free' loan car which you mentioned. My experienced is that the loan may be free but all brands I have had where a loan car is offered, you sign a contract showing you are responsible for collision damage even if not your fault.

You're doing good, I see ~12L/100km in my platinum, and on a ~600km drive the best it was able to do 10.9L/100km that was on cruise and most of the trip @110km/h. Plenty of people reporting that fuel economy with the 4cyl, but if you own a sport that's not an option.

I read your articles and followed your journey through the series. I find that this car is NOT suited for you - but perhaps a Sorento, CX9, Kluger or the likes would be better suited for yourself. Bare in mind - fuel economy readings generally take up to 30,000km ish to bed in and this provide a more accurate reading.

So consistently bad on fuel which is strange. I have an 8 year old Discovery 4 which has a very similar engine and gets better fuel consumption…

@TheHayabusa09 10 месяцев назад

Bad enough about the wait times, now Ford have recalled almost 5,000 of these (only bi-turbo models) due to a malware issue affecting the brakes...So bad, it could potentially kill you, and that was Ford speak. Don't reckon the salespeople will mention that in their sales pitch to you..

@nathannaderi8633 10 месяцев назад

The recall had absolutely nothing to do with brakes, you just made that up. It was a software issue. And if you want to buy a vehicle that hasn’t been recalled, get a bicycle.

He's touched on something which has frustrated me. America knows the people want big comfortable highway devouring SUVs but Australia seems to want to make them all from off roader bases. Take all of that kit off, reduce the price and make a comfortable on-roader SUV please. I want a road tripper not a mountain climber.

@Noony79 11 месяцев назад

It's a very comfortable car. Long road trips are no problem. It also handles a lot better than the yank mobiles.

@beno9966 11 месяцев назад

There are plenty in the catagory. Most US trucks are rwd, silly comparison. Lots of Aussies and Kiwis want a real off road suv.

And then there's the things that Ford have stripped out to save a couple of bucks. One of the 2 USB outlets in the front, the 220V ac outlet, the gas struts lifting the bonnet, just to mention a few - all stupid decisions Ford you cheapskate. A manual centre differential lock is also a must for any real 4X4, no excuses.
