Ford Everest 2024 review: Platinum | Long-term family SUV test of Isuzu MU-X rivalling 7-seat 4WD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- 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.

I rented this for a month for Xmas holidays. I was so impressed with 6 of us. aircon has huge outlets in roof at the back too. i was looking at buying a Hyundai but I decided to buy this instead. its great on fuel for its size its safety features were amazing great work ford
Does it have sunroof?
@@jamesmichuki5804not this trim but the premium trim does
Perfect honest review, taking it off my list as it wont serve my use case, just like yours.
THE US NEEDS THIS.
Super video.
Love it ❤
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.
Spot on
How about suspension?
I wish this came to the UK.
Rear design should be better. Front is good but rear is bad.
I hope it will be available in the philippines
The negatives you’ve pointed out, are personal choices,you didn’t point out anything wrong the vehicle
Fuel economy isn't personal choice 😂.
@@benoc9966You don’t buy a V6 if fuel cost is personally important to you.
@@benoc9966does depend how you drive it though, a lot of people saying they get lower fuel consumption. Dude probably likes to plant the foot a bit
Didn't want to get caffeine all over the cabin😂😂😂. Did you clean the car once in the 3 months you had it?
Didn’t look like it
$77k? The cheapest one on carsales is $90k
The dealers are buying them and selling them at a premium without the 12mth wait. I have a v6 sport with touring pack coming Jan paid $80k so the price you quote must be plus onroad costs
What family needs a vehicle of 2.4 tonnes ?
If your a family that carry’s loads of people or gear or tow a decent boat or caravan this is why you buy this
A family that doesn't want a poxy small cut and paste soccer mum SUV maybe? An Everest is dual purpose, families that go camping and tow more than the weekend rubbish in a box trailer probably needs something like this. Id pick this over the everyday SUV that's for sure
Obscene that these are sold for road and urban use…
You must have a lead foot or drive in stop/start traffic. My Sport gets 8.5-9L/100km on the highway and 10 around town
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.
@@jasonpb27 bare in mind the engine can take up to 30,000km to read accurately. I'm getting 9.7l/100 in the 4cyl and my mate is getting 10.2l/100 - I'm at 42xxx and he's at 32xxx
Thanks for your honest review of this s...b..! You didn't mention the terrible uncomfortable seats.
Which seat, as the driver and front passenger seats are great. Not sure about the rest as I don't site back there
@@kimyusof6780 the headrests on the front seats push your head forwards too much!
@@campbellreither550 are im short so is the misses and they 5 one of the most comfy seat I've had and I've have and been in a few cars. The worst are my 2013 dmax.
What was the point in reviewing a 4 wheel drive and not taking it off-road then complaining it's not comfortable for city driving? You should have stuck to the non 4Wdrive version
You want him to take it through that park behind him 😂
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.
Didn't knew bobby lee slim bro was doing reviews 😅
Plz don't kill me
When your ready to sell let me know I might be interested if the price is right
A Sorento would fit you better
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..
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.
@@nathannaderi8633 Very few cars are recalled. Yes a lot need adjustments at the next service. I have never had a car recalled.
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…
No sunroof
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.
It's a very comfortable car. Long road trips are no problem. It also handles a lot better than the yank mobiles.
There are plenty in the catagory. Most US trucks are rwd, silly comparison. Lots of Aussies and Kiwis want a real off road suv.
They gave the tester the wrong type of vehicle 😅😂.
They should've given him a Mazda CX60 or CX90 coz that's more his speed 😅
Maybe the 2wd version of the Everest would make a better road tripper?
Overall, it think the review is to negative and complains about petty things. If you want premium you buy Platinum, simple. I owned a Raptor and trader for the Platinum, and its every cent worth it
If you cant park an Everest in a shopping centre carpark, you shouldn't be doing car reviews.
failed to mention unreliability and quality issues
Really?
Its a 7 year warranty
No, ford only offers five years.
Hey Tung. Did you go off road at all. These 4wd's aren't good on the road. Get a 2wd car if you don't go off road.
It's good and reliable...
Absolutely useless review, 12 minutes talking enjoying himself not a car , 💩
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.
Unsubscribed because of this guy
Harsh. I thought he was good. Bit scripted but clear and to the point. Didn't agree with him on some points, but in all a good review
Wrong person to review this car
From now I love Ford everest becuz of his presentation... If I have a chance I will buy Ford everest becuz of his presentation... ❤
