Ford’s SUV Model Is Being Produced in Argentina and Promises to Be a Game Changer, Leaving Competitors Like Toyota SW4 in the Dust
The Brazilian automotive scene is about to heat up! Ford confirmed the production of the Everest in Argentina, and the SUV promises to make a splash here.
Who benefits? The consumer, of course! The Everest is set to be the “guy” to beat in the category, offering much more technology and sophistication compared to current models.
Ford is serious about this. The new generation of the Everest has grown in size, now measuring 4.91 meters in length, 2.90 meters in wheelbase, 1.93 meters in width, and 1.84 meters in height. Oh, and the luggage capacity is a massive 650 liters, excellent for long trips with the family.

Hyundai launches “HB20 popular” cheaper than Renault Kwid, Fiat Mobi, and Citroën C3 in Brazil; for about R$ 29,100 in conversion without taxes, the Grand i10 Nios has a 1.2 engine, CNG option, manual or AMT transmission, 6 airbags, and an urban hatch that Brazilians don’t have yet, but India does.

Fiat’s diesel pickup with 170 hp becomes a “find” in Brazil, appearing for less than R$ 95,000 with a 9-speed automatic transmission, 4×4 traction, up to 756 km of range, and a load capacity of 1,000 kg.

With a 1.4 TSI turbo flex engine and a range of up to 728 km, the Volkswagen sedan that goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds, reaches 210 km/h, and has a trunk capacity of 521 liters becomes a rarity among used sports cars.

4 used cars starting from R$ 50,000 with a flex engine achieve up to 17.1 km/l, come with six airbags, multimedia with Android Auto, and a trunk of up to 475 liters; the list includes Onix Plus, HB20S, Peugeot 208, and Mobi.
Ford Everest: Performance, Equipped with the Best of the Ranger
In terms of engine, the Everest is well-equipped, featuring a beautiful 2.3-liter 4-cylinder twin-turbo gasoline engine, delivering 270 horsepower. In Brazil, the engine produces up to 260 horsepower, but don’t be fooled, that’s more than enough to make every penny spent worthwhile.
The 10-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 drivetrain make the package even more appealing. Inside, the car is a spectacle in itself. The finish is top-notch, with leather covering practically the entire interior.
Among the features, highlights include a panoramic sunroof, a trunk with electric opening and closing, a keyless entry system, wireless smartphone charging, and much more. It doesn’t stop there: the 12-inch multimedia system is remarkable, offering a range of features and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Safety and the Price of Revolution
The Everest is set to be the most complete and sophisticated SUV in the segment in terms of safety. Among the features, highlights include autonomous emergency braking, collision warning, seven airbags, animal, pedestrian, and cyclist detection, and of course, adaptive cruise control with stop and go feature.
In a category where prices hover around R$ 350,000, the Everest, even with production in Argentina, will not be cheap. It is expected to be priced closer to the SW4, which starts at R$ 376,000 in its simplest version. Nevertheless, with so many features, it promises to offer a more interesting cost-benefit ratio than its rivals.
If Ford continues at this pace, the competitors will have to scramble to catch up. The new Ford Everest, with production confirmed in Argentina, has everything to become a booming success in Brazil, shaking up a category that until now seemed to have stagnated in time.
