So finally the 2026 ford everest is here in India. Saw it yesterday at the showroom. Looks familiar but somehow grown up. Ford has tried to make it tougher and a bit more polished. Some tech upgrades too. But seedha bolu, looks alone won’t impress everyone
Exterior Design, Colors & Visual Changes
The grille is bigger and blockier now. Feels aggressive. Headlamps sharper. Kinda reminds me of those luxury SUVs. And haan colors are new, deep blues and some earthy greens. But I guess most will stick to white and silver. Quick flashback: I remember driving the 2022 Everest near Pune in rain. Mud all over. Everyone noticed. This 2026 ford everest feels more show-off than that

Powertrain, Range & Real-World Performance
Ford claims new engines and better fuel efficiency. Top diesel around 250 hp. But jahaan tak mera sawal hai, torque feel will decide if it’s fun off-road or just city SUV pretending. Last-gen Everest promised highway magic but sometimes lagged fully loaded. About range: they say 500 km. Seedha bolu, I remember 2020 Everest also claimed 500. In real traffic and expressways barely did 380. So I’ll wait for real-world tests on 2026 ford everest
Safety Features, Platform & Driving Dynamics
Safety is decent. Airbags, lane assist, emergency braking. Driving? Suspension improved but I remember friend took previous Everest on Coorg rocks and sway was visible. Hopefully fixed now. Platform feels modern, body-on-frame still. Rough roads won’t destroy it but sway is a concern
Variants, Expected Price & Launch Timeline in India
Price expected slightly higher. Variants like before, base for fleet, top-end for families wanting leather and gadgets. Official launch done. Deliveries start in next few months. 2026 ford everest might feel expensive but it brings upgrades
Cabin, Comfort & Tech Inside 2026 Ford Everest
Step inside, cabin feels comfy yet rugged. Touchscreen is bigger but I have my doubts. One dealer once told me old Everest screens used to freeze. Seats are plush but third row is still tight if you’re tall. One thing I liked? Ambient lights aren’t over the top. Reminds me of a short drive in Delhi where the cabin felt personal. Beats some SUVs trying too hard with flashy interiors. File Photo: Interior dashboard of 2026 Ford Everest with touchscreen and modern cabin layout
Rivals, Market Competition & Brand Strategy
Mahindra Alturas, Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian are main rivals. Everest wants luxury and rugged. Seedha bolu buyers will check Ford service. Tough SUV only fun if repair stories are short. 2026 ford everest has to prove that
Verdict Should You Wait for 2026 Ford Everest or Go For Alternatives?
If you like tech, looks and a bit of brand flex go see it. Agar comfort and reliability important, wait for long tests. Personally I like upgrades but software quirks and real range worry me. Tip: don’t just read brochure numbers, take a long drive. Overall 2026 ford everest feels safe yet bolder. Still that vibe of handling dirt and fancy dinners at same time
