All-New 2026 Ford Everest: Power, Technology, and Versatility Redefined

The 2026 Ford Everest marks a bold step forward for Ford’s popular midsize SUV, offering a complete redesign that blends robust off-road capability with premium interior comfort and cutting-edge technology. Designed to cater to adventure-seekers, families, and daily commuters alike, the new Everest is poised to become a standout in the competitive SUV segment.

Exterior Design: Rugged Elegance
The all-new 2026 Everest features a striking, muscular design that emphasizes both strength and style. The front end is dominated by a new, more aggressive grille flanked by C-shaped LED headlights, giving the SUV a commanding presence. Strong character lines, a high beltline, and sculpted wheel arches enhance its off-road-ready look. Available 20-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and an optional panoramic sunroof round out the Everest’s premium exterior design.

Interior: Premium Comfort and Smart Functionality
Inside, the Everest delivers a refined cabin built with high-quality materials and modern aesthetics. The spacious interior seats up to seven passengers comfortably, with generous legroom and headroom in all three rows. The second and third rows fold flat, creating a flexible cargo space suitable for large families or adventurous getaways.

Soft-touch surfaces, leather upholstery, ambient lighting, and dual-zone climate control all contribute to a first-class cabin experience. The driver-focused cockpit features a fully digital 12.4-inch instrument cluster and a large portrait-style 12-inch touchscreen equipped with Ford’s SYNC 4A infotainment system.
