Context
Why does this story matter?
The upcoming Everest SUV will serve as a successor to the Ford Endeavour that was sold in India and shall share its underpinnings with the Ranger pick-up truck.
It should rack up decent sales in the overseas markets thanks to its good looks and features.

The 2022 Ford Everest will have a sculpted bonnet, a chrome-finished grille, sleek headlamps with C-shaped LED DRLs, and a wide air dam.
It will be flanked by roof rails, ORVMs, side-steppers, and designer wheels.
A roof-mounted antenna, a window wiper, and inverted L-shaped taillights connected by a trim piece will grace the rear end. It will also get a 50mm longer wheelbase.
Information
Three engine options might be offered
The engine options offered by the upcoming Ford Everest should include a 2.0-liter diesel engine, a 3.0-liter V6 diesel motor, and a 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder petrol mill. The powertrains are tipped to be linked to an all-wheel-drive system.
Interiors
The SUV will get three rows of seats
The new Ford Everest is expected to have a spacious three-row cabin, featuring keyless entry, parking sensors, auto climate control, USB chargers, and a multifunctional steering wheel.
