The 2025 Ford Everest remains the same version originally launched in 2023. The vehicle is distributed in Vietnam in four variants, all of which feature a diesel engine and an automatic transmission. The Everest's market competitors include the Toyota Fortuner, Mazda CX-8, and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport.
What's New in the 2025 Ford Everest?
The Ford Everest is a mid-size, 7-seater SUV produced by the American automaker Ford. First introduced in 2003, the Everest is currently in its third generation (U704/UB; 2022–present). The Ford Everest shares its chassis platform with the Ford Ranger pickup truck (distinguishing it from the Ford Edge—another mid-size SUV/crossover—which utilizes a platform derived from passenger cars). Within the Ford lineup, the Everest is positioned above the 5-seater Ford Escape (a crossover) and the Ford EcoSport mini-CUV, yet sits below the larger Ford Explorer SUV. In Vietnam, the Ford Everest competes against models such as the Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Santa Fe, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Mazda CX-8.
The 2025 Ford Everest currently on sale in Vietnam remains the current iteration of the all-new generation—originally launched in July 2022—featuring numerous exterior and interior updates designed to enhance its competitiveness against rivals in the same segment.
It is highly likely that the Ford Everest Tremor will arrive in Vietnam in 2025. A key distinguishing feature of the 2025 Ford Everest Tremor is its 3.0L turbocharged V6 diesel engine, delivering an output of up to 247 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. This stands as one of the version's most notable highlights, enabling the vehicle to traverse any terrain with ease.
2025 Ford Everest Exterior
The new-generation Ford Everest features a redesigned exterior characterized by straight lines across the front fascia, body, and hood. These elements—combined with prominent character lines and angular contours—lend the vehicle a more rugged and robust appearance, marking a departure from the rounded styling found on the previous generation.
The new-generation Ford Everest features overall dimensions (LxWxH) of 4,914 x 1,923 x 1,842 mm, a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, and a ground clearance of 200 mm. These dimensions enable the new Everest to achieve a water wading depth of up to 800 mm.
The front end of the vehicle appears wider thanks to a redesigned grille featuring two bold chrome bars that seamlessly connect to the Bi-LED headlight clusters, which are paired with C-shaped LED daytime running lights. Ford continues to utilize a honeycomb pattern for the grille graphics.
The headlight clusters feature a unique C-shaped design, sharing their styling with the Ford Ranger pickup truck. All versions continue to utilize LED lighting, though they are limited to standard reflector-type LEDs. LED fog lights are included on all trim levels.
The Titanium+ variant, specifically, is equipped with Matrix LED headlights. This Matrix LED technology enables adaptive zone lighting, thereby providing cornering illumination when steering. Furthermore, the headlights on the Everest Titanium+ feature an additional automatic beam-leveling function.
Viewed from the side, embossed character lines run along the length of the vehicle. The flared wheel arches lend a muscular aesthetic to this mid-size American SUV. The side mirrors feature electric adjustment and power-folding capabilities. However, the traditional placement of the mirrors at the base of the A-pillars is a design choice we find somewhat regrettable; positioning them on the door panels—in line with modern design trends—would have enhanced the mirrors' field of view and significantly reduced the A-pillar blind spots from the driver's perspective.
The multi-spoke alloy wheels measure 18 inches on the standard model and 20 inches on the higher-end variant. The wheel design, featuring silver-painted Y-shaped spokes, lends a robust and sporty impression to the vehicle.
The 2025 Everest features a ground clearance of 200 mm—falling short of the 279 mm offered by its rival, the Fortuner. The advantage of a lower ground clearance is that it contributes to a more planted and stable ride when traveling at high speeds.
At the rear, the vehicle features a cluster of 3D-style LED taillights, connected by a chrome strip bearing the "Everest" lettering. The rear bumper is simply designed with a squared-off profile, conveying a robust impression that harmonizes with the overall design language of this mid-size SUV.
The full-LED taillight clusters feature a horizontal L-shaped design, with lighting graphics segmented into multiple smaller blocks that converge toward the center.
2025 Ford Everest Interior and Amenities
Beyond its exterior makeover, the cabin of the new-generation Ford Everest has also undergone a complete transformation, boasting a modern layout and the use of more premium materials.
The three-spoke steering wheel is leather-wrapped and features integrated function buttons. Behind the steering wheel lies a digital instrument cluster—measuring 12 inches on the Titanium+ version, and 8 inches on the remaining three versions.
The vertically oriented 12-inch TFT infotainment screen—standard across all versions—is integrated with a 360-degree camera system and features a split-screen function that allows for the simultaneous display of multiple types of content, ensuring convenient usability.
The new-generation Everest is equipped with Ford's latest SYNC 4A operating system, enabling users to control various functions—such as voice commands, remote start, vehicle status checks, and door locking/unlocking—via their mobile phones using the FordPass app. On the Titanium+ variant, the gear shifter features leather wrapping and includes an electronic parking brake.
The 2025 Ford Everest features a cargo capacity of 119 liters, which expands to 567 liters when the third row of seats is folded down. With this cargo space, the vehicle can accommodate one to two suitcases when the third row is stowed.
**2025 Ford Everest Performance**
The new-generation Ford Everest offers the following engine options:
- The Ambiente, Sport, and Titanium trims are powered by a 2.0-liter single-turbo I4 diesel engine, generating a maximum output of 170 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and peak torque of 405 Nm within the 1,750–2,500 rpm range. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a two-wheel-drive system.
- The Titanium+ variant is powered by a 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged I4 diesel engine, delivering a maximum output of 210 horsepower at 3,500 rpm and peak torque of 500 Nm between 1,750 and 2,000 rpm. It features a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
The new-generation Ford Everest offers six drive modes: Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, and Sand.
How is the acceleration?
We tested the acceleration capabilities on the Hanoi–Lao Cai Expressway using the standard Titanium variant. Well, it felt rather sluggish due to the vehicle's substantial curb weight. Although significant torque is available at engine speeds below 2,500 rpm, the overall performance still lacked that satisfying punch. It took approximately 13 seconds to reach a speed of 100 km/h.
What is the driving feel like?
A solid, planted steering feel was our first impression upon taking the wheel. Furthermore, the steering weight remained remarkably consistent across various speed ranges—a stark contrast to the previous generation.
How is the noise isolation?
We must say that we highly rate the sound insulation of this new-generation Everest. Noise intrusion from the underbody into the cabin is minimal, despite the Everest's tires featuring thin sidewalls and a wide tread pattern. We would go so far as to compare this vehicle's sound insulation capabilities to those of luxury-class models.
How is the suspension system?
We had high expectations for the new-generation Everest's suspension system, and indeed, it did not disappoint. The vehicle features an improved suspension setup that feels significantly firmer and more robust than that of the previous model. Body float at highway speeds and lateral sway when cornering have been significantly minimized.
What about fuel consumption?
Over a mixed-route test drive, we measured the vehicle's fuel consumption at 8.25 L/100 km. Overall, this is quite economical.

How does the 2025 Ford Everest Wildtrak differ from other versions?
The Ford Everest Wildtrak is the top-tier variant of this D-segment 7-seater SUV lineup, featuring several distinctive details that set it apart from the other versions:
- The front fascia features an H-shaped grille trim piece that extends downward from the grille to the front bumper.
- Numerous vehicle components bear the additional "Wildtrak" logo, including the hood trim, the side panels near the front wheel arches, and the seats.
- The wheels feature a brand-new design.
The Everest Wildtrak is an excellent choice for customers seeking a 7-seater SUV that retains the rugged, muscular aesthetic of the Ranger Wildtrak.
**Giaxeoto.vn’s Preliminary Review of the Ford Everest**
**Exterior Assessment (4.5/5):** The design style is distinctly American—bold, muscular, and imposing. It features the familiar C-shaped lighting signature seen on recent Ford releases. The 9-module Matrix LED technology delivers exceptional brightness for nighttime driving. Enhanced approach and departure angles allow for excellent off-road capability. The rear features recessed "Everest" lettering, reminiscent of Porsche's styling.
**Interior & Comfort Assessment (4.2/5):** Overall, the cabin space is quite spacious. We were particularly impressed by the large, high-quality central touchscreen, which offers smooth performance and wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity. Climate controls can be adjusted via voice commands, the central touchscreen, or physical rotary dials. The steering wheel feels compact yet solid and substantial. Regrettably, voice commands are not yet supported in Vietnamese; furthermore, the interior would have been absolutely flawless had it featured decorative contrast stitching on the seats or dashboard. The rear seats offer sliding and reclining functions that provide a fair degree of comfort, though they do not recline quite as extensively as those in its rival, the Fortuner. The Everest's third row, however, feels somewhat cramped and may become uncomfortable on long journeys.
**Performance & Handling Assessment (4.7/5):** As a 7-seater SUV from Ford, this vehicle utilizes a body-on-frame chassis and a solid rear axle—the quintessential configuration for a true off-road SUV. It is worth noting that, among its market competitors, only the Fortuner features a similar chassis architecture. We found the vehicle handled mountainous terrain quite smoothly, delivering a thrilling sense of adventure and mastery over the landscape. The Hill Descent Control system proved to be truly reliable and confidence-inspiring. Compared to models like the Sorento, Santa Fe, and CX-8, the Everest leaves them with virtually no chance of competing in this regard. The 2.0L Bi-turbo engine, delivering a robust 210 horsepower, is truly powerful; furthermore, the four-wheel-drive engagement and drive mode selection are effortlessly operated via push-buttons. When traveling on open roads, the substantial torque and power available at low RPMs allow the vehicle to accelerate with remarkable smoothness. The only aspect we found somewhat underwhelming was the tire setup, which felt slightly mismatched to the vehicle's capabilities.
Ford Everest Safety Rating (4.6/5): Technology is another area we highly commend in the new-generation Everest. Its suite of nine intelligent safety features is more than sufficient. Among these, Adaptive Cruise Control proved invaluable, allowing us to relax and unwind while driving on the Hanoi–Lao Cai Expressway. We found the visibility and warning capabilities of the Everest’s camera system to be highly responsive, thereby instilling a strong sense of confidence and safety in the driver. The automated parking assist feature was also genuinely impressive—though we admit it gave us a bit of a scare as the Everest executed its reverse-parking maneuver with surprising speed.
