The latest Ford Everest has drawn attention when it debuted in the Philippines last year. What are the specific reasons why owners adore their Ford SUV, though?

The new Everest's superb driving experience, which blends performance and technology with flair and comfort, is attested to by its proud owners.

Latest safety and convenience features

Software engineer Zainal Limpao sought a car with the newest safety features after surviving a previous car accident.

“I had a car accident last year. We knew right then and there that if we are to acquire a new car, our next vehicle needs to have the most advanced safety features,” Zainal says.

After weeks of consideration, Zainal and his wife chose the 2023 Ford Everest. “We went to the Ford Island Conquest test drive event in Arcovia City to see the new Everest. From there, we decided that it was going to be our next vehicle,” he adds.

For digital experts Wence Wenceslao and partner Sue Pascual, the SUV’s 12-inch digital instrument cluster helped convince them to get the next-gen Everest. “Gone are the days where we needed to use our phone to use Waze or change songs on Spotify. Now all our apps are conveniently connected to the car screen. Sue and I also love the active park assist feature for easier maneuverability of the Everest,” shares Wence.

Reliability and Capability

Owners also attest to the driving power of the 2023 Ford Everest.

“Two of my new interests recently are off-roading and overlanding. With the next-gen Ford Everest’s selectable drive modes, we comfortably drove over different road conditions and surfaces with ease and reached our favorite destinations safely,” Zainal says.

Sue says the reliability of the 2023 Ford Everest gives them the peace-of-mind to drive the vehicle to different places. “We own a previous model of the Everest, and it has been with us for six years now. Through the years, it has proven to be a reliable drive. We have been driving a Ford for many years now and not once has it given us a headache in terms of maintenance. It’s only a natural choice to upgrade to the next-gen Everest,” she says.

Comfort

Even with its rugged look, the next-gen Everest boasts a comfortable drive and ride for its drive and passengers. “My family loves the high-quality interior, the panoramic moonroof, ambient lighting and the overall ride comfort. With the next-gen Everest, the world became our playground as we’re able to travel and appreciate the beauty of our countryside,” the proud owner states.

Wence and Sue appreciated the spaciousness of the vehicle as the passengers at the back-row were also given the comfort that they needed–especially during long trips. “They can’t stop raving about the comfort aspect of the car! Everyone seated in the third row had a very comfortable experience with ample legroom,” recalled Sue.

Driving It Forward

Proud owners Zainal, Wence, and Sue are amazed with the capability and features of the 2023 Ford Everest — so much so that Zainal was proud to have successfully recommended the next-gen Everest to three of his friends. “The two already made their respective reservations, while one already has a unit of his own.”

The 2023 Ford Everest comes with a five-year warranty to enhance the ownership experience. The longer warranty offering will cover the next-gen Everest for up to five years or total mileage of up to 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
