Ford Everest coming to Bangladesh

Ford's latest seven-seat off-road SUV features intelligent four-wheel drive and a host of driver safety and driving aids. Powering the local version will be a 2.2-liter Duratorq four-cylinder TDCi diesel, putting out 118 kW of power and 385 Nm of torque. The Everest has a true body-on-frame design, assuring the torsional strength required for challenging terrains.

The previous Everest model was sold in Bangladesh, and Ford hopes to grab a hold of the premium SUV segment with the new one, which is manufactured in Thailand. It's a good looking SUV, with a distinctively squarish front end and sharp cut profile. The interior looks great in the pictures, with an upmarket, elegant design, and Ford isn't the kind of brand to cut corners when it comes to interior quality even on their export models, so expect proper fitment and materials. 
There's no hint of the pricing, but from the specs list, which is quite well-populated, expect the pricing to compete with the best of them out there. You'll hear more about the Everest when it comes, right here on Shift. The new Everest will be available from May/June in Bangladesh.
