Here’s the next generation Ford Everest in camo
Just last month, we saw the global reveal of the all-new next generation of the Ford Ranger, and of course with that, not too far away is an all-new Ford Everest, the pick-up truck’s SUV sibling.
Now, Ford has released some teaser images, showing the next generation Everest wearing camouflage, and just like the ones on the Ranger before, were also designed with lots of thought. Here’s what Ford has to say:
Engineered for any adventure and designed for comfort, the next-gen Everest builds on its award-winning capability to provide the performance and versatility customers told us they needed to take on life and #SeekYourExperience.
As the next-gen Everest enters the final testing phase of Ford’s global testing program, it’s been dressed to hide in plain sight. Wearing a digitised camouflage designed by Lee Imrie, exterior designer at Ford Australia, some of Everest’s key visual design cues will remain hidden until it is revealed in the first quarter of 2022.
Even at night, the cloaked next-gen Everest will stand out thanks to clever reflective strips in the camouflage.
“We created an artistic pattern that hints at adventure,” said Imrie. “The camouflage consists of a series of rectangles tilted on a 45-degree angle that were inspired by mountain peaks.
“We make sure the vehicle design remains hidden by designing the camouflage pieces in isolation. This means when it’s applied to the vehicle it’s a completely random pattern.”
The colour of the camouflage is just as important as keeping the vehicle hidden, according to Imrie, and is based on three colours: Meteor Grey, Black and White.
While the camouflage pattern helps to disguise some of the next-gen Everest’s key features, a #SeekYourExperience and QR code built into the pattern is intended to encourage those who see it out on the road testing to engage with it and share their experience.
With that out of the way, what can we see on the camouflaged Ford Everest? For starters, we can clearly see that the next generation Everest will have a very similar front fascia as the 2022 Ford Ranger. Visible are the C-clamp shaped LED daytime running lights and the large mesh grille, putting it in line with the rest of Ford’s SUV and pick-up truck offerings globally.
On the side, the next generation Ford Everest looks rather similar to the current generation version, with its overall window and body shape. We’re guessing that the new wheels are 20-inches in size and will be standard on top-spec Titanium units. Out back, it gets a completely redesigned rear with a more angular look. Unfortunately, no interior photos were shown but we do expect it to look very similar with that of the Ranger’s, as it has always been for many years.
Ford has also released a teaser video, check it out below:
As mentioned above, the next generation Ford Everest will be revealed in the first quarter of next year. As to its Philippine introduction, we don’t know when exactly but it could definitely come next year.
