Ford Motor Company has announced the next-generation Everest has entered the final stages of testing, with the Blue Oval brand saying the new iteration of its bakkie-based SUV is “engineered for any adventure and designed for comfort”. According to Ford, the upcoming Everest “builds on its award-winning capability to provide the performance and versatility customers told us they needed to take on life”.

Although wearing a digitised camouflage, which was designed by the firm’s Australian arm’s exterior designer Lee Imrie, those with a keen eye will notice the resemblances between the new Everest’s front end and that of the recently revealed, new-generation Ranger. “We created an artistic pattern that hints at adventure,” said Imrie.
“The camouflage was inspired by mountain peaks”
The camouflage comprises a series of rectangles, tilted at a 45-degree angle. According to Imrie, the camouflage was inspired by mountain peaks. Imrie added: “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 new Ford Everest is scheduled to make its global reveal in the first quarter of 2022.
