- Sport RWD added to Everest line-up
- Small price increases across range
- MY23.5 models to enter production in March 2023
The 2023 Ford Everest has had a rear-wheel-driven Sport variant added to its local line-up, priced at $62,790.
With production set to begin in March 2023, the Everest Sport RWD will be powered by Ford's 154kW/500Nm 2.0L bi-turbo diesel powertrain, which is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It joins the next-gen Everest Sport 4WD, which was released earlier in 2022 and is powered by a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel.
With a price difference of $6800 between the Sport RWD and AWD, opting for drive to all four wheels remains a compelling proposition.

The Sport RWD now sits atop a 2WD line-up that already consists of the Ambiente ($52,290) and Trend ($60,590), with all RWD models utilising the 2.0-litre bi-turbo set-up. The Sport RWD retains its seven seats and 3500 kilogram towing capacity.

“Everest Sport has proven to be a very popular model since we revealed the next-generation Everest range earlier this year,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia.
“With the introduction of Everest Sport RWD we are offering our customers more choice, with a very stylish vehicle that can tow the boat and fit the family in safety and comfort.”
Ford has also announced a number of minor specification updates for the rest of the Everest range.

The range-topping Platinum will get steel underbody protection and a black painted roof as standard, while the Optional Touring Pack – available on Everest Trend 4WD and Sport 4WD models – will now include black stand-off roof rails, a 360-degree camera, zone lighting, a tow bar and an integrated trailer brake controller.
Production for MY23.5 models will begin in March, 2023. Until then, buyers can purchase MY23 variants at the current RRP pricing.
