Ford is going hybrid in its quest to take down the all-conquering Toyota HiLux.

Confidential plans about the 2022 Ford Ranger and Everest have leaked ahead of a drip-feed of information about the new models, which kicks off later this year.

The plans, exclusively obtained by CarExpert, detail the range of drivetrains and offer a breakdown of next-generation Ranger and Everest models to be offered by Ford, including plug-in hybrid variants of both the dual-cab ute and off-road SUV.

What we know about the 2022 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest
- Three engines will be offered: two diesels and a petrol plug-in hybrid (more below)
- The 3.2-litre five-cylinder diesel engine will be discontinued
- The Everest will be available in six trim levels, including an off-road focused Wildtrak X variant
- Everest pricing will stretch from around $50,000 before on-road costs to $76,000 before on-road costs
- The Ranger Raptor will gain a V6 turbo-diesel engine to replace its twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre diesel
- Our computer generated images are based off a final clay model of the Ranger and Everest
- Interior on high-spec models will get a 12.8-inch portrait infotainment screen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- The addition of plug-in hybrid variants to both Ranger and Everest ranges comes on the back of Ford allocating US$11 billion of investment into electric vehicles, with plans to roll out six fully-electric products (including the F-150 truck) starting with the Mach-E.

The information below is a mix of what we already know, along with information from our confidential sources and logical speculation.





The 2022 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest engine range

Ford will kick the 2022 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest off by deleting the ability to purchase either model with its ageing 3.2-litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.

The default engine will be a 2.0-litre twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel producing 157kW of power and 500Nm of torque.

Buyers will be able to step up to a six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine as an option on the top model grades. That engine will be a 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder diesel making 186kW of power and 600Nm of torque.

What’s coming for the Everest?

What about technology for the 2022 Ford Ranger and Ford Everest?
In addition to investing in electric vehicles, Ford is spending big on infotainment and connected car technology. Both the Ranger and Everest are expected to be offered with the brand’s SYNC4 infotainment system, which is delivered to a new 12.8-inch vertical infotainment screen in the centre of the cabin.

It’ll be joined by a 10.25-inch screen ahead of the driver showing speed and trip computer information.



A similar infotainment system has been developed for the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach E electric vehicle. It features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with remote connectivity – which will shortly be rolled out on Ranger and Everest through their older infotainment systems.

Seems lime it shares a lot of styling elements with the upcoming Bronco Sport.

I know that is just a rendering, but man, it looks HOT! The current Endeavour is a proper badass American SUV, and its looks are a major contributor to its success. Ford had better not mess the design up. I like Ford's design language and am confident that the next-gen Endeavour will be a looker.

It has been rumoured that the next-gen Endeavour in India will finally get the bi-turbo diesel engine . But what I wouldn't give to see a V6 here on the top variant?

[vb-saan]

Now that’s a butch and modern-looking rendering. I especially liked the front – that grille treatment almost look like a bull-bar; menacing, yet elegant.
And the Mach-E type infotainment system is a welcome addition.

According to a media report, the next-generation Ford Endeavour is likely to switch to a plug-in hybrid powertrain.



The report states that the Endeavour, which is also known as the Everest in some markets, will get three engine options. These include a new 2.3-litre, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system. Its combined output is expected to be 365 BHP and 680 Nm.

Besides this, the SUV is likely to retain the 2.0-litre, twin-turbo diesel producing 210 BHP / 500 Nm. It will also be offered with a 3.0-litre, V6 diesel with 250 BHP / 600 Nm. This engine currently powers the F-150 pick-up truck. The report suggests that all three engines will be offered with a 10-speed automatic transmission.



In the international market, Ford is expected to introduce a new variant of the Endeavour called the Wildtrak X. Besides all-wheel drive, this off-road focused variant will get Bilstein shock absorbers, BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, rock sliders and other upgrades.

The next-generation Ford Endeavour is expected to make its global debut in 2022.

Damn, 3.0L v6 diesel looks tasty. Knowing Ford, we surely won't be getting that option.

[CEF_Beasts]

If the new-gen Endeavour really looks like this then I am waiting eagerly for this one, hybrid is also an icing on the cake! Hope to see it in India by 2023.

[SedateMotorhead]

What a smoking hot render! If this ever came to our shores, I would be the first in line to get one.

I've always had the 'Big car' itch, but a little logical reasoning within me always made me feel I simply don't need an SUV. But cars like these make the heart speak louder and drown out what the brain has to say. I would but this over any more practical options in a heartbeat.

This rendering is based on the 2022/2023 Ford Ranger that was leaked some time ago, so this is pretty accurate of what the next Everest/Endeavour could look like.

This media report is 8 months old and is still a speculation! I won't buy too much into it.

Actually this is their latest one with added updates from a Ford spokesperson about the PHEV Ranger. The T-Bhp news article quoted the older report.

[swarnava.ch]

Well I see two clear takeaways here:
The next iteration of the design looks really good and the PHEV will never make it to Indian shores as the we still love our diesels. Well to be honest, even if Ford bring in the 2.0 Diesel with twin turbo it will already be a big step in the right direction as a lot of discussion has happened already on this forum.

That's actually the newly launched 2021 Ford Equator, exclusively for the Chinese market, sits above the Endeavour/Everest.
