The flagship model comes equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 Turbo Diesel engine, delivering around 250 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. This powertrain is paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission for optimal power delivery across all terrains.

The intelligent 4WD system is the Everest 4×4’s highlight. It includes:

Electronic Locking Rear Differential: Improves traction on uneven or slippery terrain

Hill Descent Control: Automatically regulates speed on steep declines

Low-Range Transfer Case: Ensures extra torque in extreme off-road conditions

With its enhanced suspension and reinforced chassis, the Everest 4×4 delivers excellent ground contact and articulation—critical for navigating rough landscapes.
