Ford PH could be launching a V6-powered Everest soon

MANILA: Ford Philippines may soon launch the V6 version of the Everest sport utility vehicle (SUV). The aforementioned was hinted at by a recent issuance by the Land Transportation Office (LTO), specifically Memorandum Circular No. MVL-2026-5088. 

As detailed on the aforementioned homologation papers, the upcoming Ford Everest variant will be called the “Active.” Its engine will be a 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel, linked to a 4x4 drivetrain and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The LTO also published separate papers (MVL-20206-5087) for a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline version with a 4x2 drivetrain. 

The same LTO papers detailed the upcoming Everest Active’s dimensions, which are as follows:

Length (in millimeters)	4,914
Width (in mm)	1,842
Height (in mm)	1,923
Wheelbase length (in mm)	2,900
Ground clearance (in mm)	227
Gross weight (in kilograms)	3,150

Notably, the upcoming Everest Active V6 4x4 and Active 4x2 do have the same length as existing trims such as the Titanium+ 4x4, Titanium+ 4x2, Sport 4x2, and Trend 4x2 -among others. 

The Active V6, however, slightly taller compared to the other Everest trims. This might be due to its 21-inch wheels, which are larger than those in the rest of the model’s current lineup, which uses 18- or 20-inch wheels. In addition, the inline-four variant of the Active will be wearing a set of 18-inch wheels.

Apart from what was mentioned above, the government agency did not share any other specifics about the upcoming Ford Everest Active V6 4x4 and 4x2 versions. Also, Ford Philippines itself has not disclosed when it will introduce the said variants. 

So, for now, let's check out the specifications of the Ford Everest V6 in Thailand, from which the upcoming Philippine version will likely be sourced.

Ford Everest V6: specifications

In the Land of Smiles, the Ford Everest with the 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engine and 4x4 drivetrain combo goes by the name of “Platinum.” 

At most, the six-cylinder turbodiesel Active trim produces up to 250 horsepower and 600 Newton-meters of torque. Its 4x4 management system also comes with six selectable drive modes: normal, economy, tow/haul, slippery, mud/ruts, and sand. 

Other hardware for the Thai-spec Everest V6 is largely carried over from the lower-spec trims, including the ones that are already available locally. The same goes for most of its exterior, but it did see the addition of a two-tone black-and-body-color paint option. 

Notably, the interior of the Thai-spec Ford Everest Active was enhanced with a 12.4-inch digital gauge, which is larger than the 12-inch digital gauge found on Philippine models. It does get the familiar 12-inch portrait infotainment display, but its sound system has been upgraded to a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen system. 

Moreover, its driver’s seat now offers 10-way power adjustability instead of the 8-way adjustability of older Everest models. Its suite of advanced driver-assist systems was likewise enhanced with the addition of steering assist, which is touted to provide active intervention to help the driver avoid collisions.
