Sime Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford (Auto ConneXion-Ford), the sole authorised distributor of Ford vehicles in Malaysia, today introduced three new variants to the Ford Everest lineup: the Everest Platinum 3.0L, Everest Platinum 2.0L, and Everest Sport 2.0L at the Sime Motors MotorExpo 2026. This launch marks one of the most significant expansions of the Everest range in Malaysia, offering customers a wider selection across lifestyle, adventure, and premium SUV segments.
Designed for modern Malaysian lifestyles, the expanded Ford Everest lineup delivers a versatile SUV that easily adapts between family use, long-distance travel, and off-road adventures. While each variant carries its own distinct character, all models retain the Everest’s core strengths in robust engineering, advanced safety features, intelligent connectivity, and premium craftsmanship.
At the top of the range, the Ford Everest Platinum 3.0L is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel engine, producing 183.8 kW (250 PS) at 3,250 rpm and 600 Nm of torque between 1,750 and 2,000 rpm. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with eShifter, the flagship variant also features an ElectroMagnetic Transfer Case (EMTC) and a full-time four-wheel drive system. This enables intelligent torque distribution for improved traction, stability, and control across challenging driving conditions, making it the most powerful and technologically advanced Everest available in Malaysia.
The Everest Platinum 3.0L also showcases the signature Platinum design language, featuring a distinctive grille and bold PLATINUM lettering on the bonnet, front doors, and tailgate. Matrix LED headlamps and signature C-clamp daytime running lights enhance its strong road presence. With seating for up to seven passengers and power-folding third-row seats, it is well suited for larger families or group travel. The model rides on 21-inch alloy wheels with 275/45 R21 tyres, offering enhanced stability and driving confidence.
Inside, the cabin is equipped with a 12-inch multi-touch display with wireless connectivity and Ford SYNC® 4A, delivering a seamless and connected driving experience combined with premium comfort and advanced technology. It is available in Acacia Green, Meteor Grey, and Absolute Black.
The Ford Everest Platinum 2.0L blends luxury, technology, and capability for customers seeking a more premium SUV experience without compromising everyday practicality.

This combination delivers a balanced mix of performance, efficiency, and confidence across various driving conditions.
The model features a refined exterior design with a premium grille, Matrix LED headlamps, and C-clamp daytime running lights that elevate its presence on the road. It rides on 20-inch alloy wheels fitted with 255/55 R20 tyres for improved stability. Inside, a 12-inch multi-touch colour touchscreen with wireless connectivity and Ford SYNC® 4A enhances convenience and digital integration. The Everest Platinum 2.0L is available in Acacia Green, Meteor Grey, Arctic White, and Absolute Black.
Meanwhile, the Ford Everest Sport 2.0L is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine delivering 125 kW (170 PS) and 405 Nm of torque.
