3rd-gen Ford Everest owners share their experience

The 3rd generation Ford Everest entered the Philippine market in July last year alongside the Ranger which it’s based on. Since then, it has seen success as one of the preferred models in the segment.

More than half a year since its introduction, the new generation Everest has since sold a good number of units locally. With that, Ford Philippines has gathered some of those owners to share their experiences with their vehicle.

Zainal Limpao, a software engineer, as well as Wence Wenceslao and his partner Sue Pascual shared their experiences on the new Ford Everest.

Having previously survived a vehicular accident, software engineer Zainal wanted a car equipped with the latest safety features. “I had a car accident last year. We knew right then and there that if we are to acquire a new car, our next vehicle needs to have the most advanced safety features,” Zainal says. After weeks of deliberation, Zainal and his wife chose the next-gen Ford Everest. “We went to the Ford Island Conquest test drive event in Arcovia City to see the new Everest. From there, we decided that it was going to be our next vehicle,” he adds.

For digital experts Wence Wenceslao and partner Sue Pascual, the 12-inch digital instrument cluster helped convince them to get the next-gen Everest. “Gone are the days where we need to use our phone to use Waze or change songs on Spotify. Now all our apps are conveniently connected to the car screen. Sue and I also love the active park assist feature for easier maneuverability of the Everest,” shares Wence.  

These owners also shared what they thought of the vehicle’s reliability. “Two of my new interests recently are off-roading and overlanding. With the next-gen Ford Everest’s selectable drive modes, we comfortably drove over different road conditions and surfaces with ease and reached our favorite destinations safely,” Zainal says.

“We own a previous model of the Everest, and it has been with us for six years now. Through the years, it has proven to be a reliable drive. We have been driving a Ford for many years now and not once has it given us a headache in terms of maintenance. It’s only a natural choice to upgrade to the next-gen Everest,” Sue says. As for comfort, “My family loves the high-quality interior, the panoramic moonroof, ambient lighting and the overall ride comfort. With the next-gen Everest, the world became our playground as we’re able to travel and appreciate the beauty of our countryside.”

Wence and Sue appreciated the spaciousness of the vehicle as the passengers at the back-row were also given the comfort that they need–especially during long trips. “They can’t stop raving about the comfort aspect of the car! Everyone seated at the third row had a very comfortable experience with ample legroom,” recalled Sue.

Zainal, Wence, and Sue are amazed with what their Everest has to offer. In fact, Zainal was proud to have successfully recommended the next-gen Everest to three of his friends. “The two already made their respective reservations, while one already has a unit of his own.” For Wence and Sue, the next-gen Everest easily has the best looks and overall design among SUVs within the same category. “It feels chic, neat, and sophisticated. Driving it in the metro is definitely an advantage as it’s more visible on the road.”
