2023 Ford Everest Wildtrak revealed, no word for Australia

Ford New Zealand has unveiled a more rugged version of the Everest large SUV – and it wears a familiar name.

The 2023 Ford Everest Wildtrak will launch across the ditch mid-year, but there’s no word for Australia at this stage.

“Everest Wildtrak is an exciting new addition to the global Ford Everest line-up, but we have no news to share about an Australian introduction,” said a Ford Australia spokesperson.

Inspired by the popular Ranger variant, the Everest Wildtrak echoes the forthcoming Ranger Platinum’s relation to the flagship Everest grade, with its front bumper taken directly from the Ranger Wildtrak, including the dark grey ‘H-bar’ and unique LED fog lamps.

There’s also the luxe yellow paintwork, orange stitching with ‘Wildtrak’ embroidered into the front seats, a bonnet insignia, and a set of 20-inch alloy wheels borrowed from the recently-updated MY23.5 Ranger Wildtrak – but as standard, not optional.

It slots between the Sport and Platinum in the Everest line-up, which retail for $69,590 and $77,530 before on-road costs respectively in Australia.

It follows a minor update for the 2023 Ford Everest, with changes including a more-affordable two-wheel-drive Sport 2.0-litre variant, a black roof and steel underbody protection for the Platinum, and black roof rails in the optional Touring Pack for the Trend and Sport.
