Ford released photos and a short video offering a sneak preview of its latest global vehicle, the new Ford Everest.

Ford will unveil the new Ford Everest at a special media event in Beijing on Thursday, November 13, 2014.

Rugged, refined and amazingly capable, the new Ford Everest will enable extraordinary journeys far off the beaten path, building on Ford’s long heritage as an innovator and leader in utility vehicles.

The development of the new Ford Everest was led by Ford’s Asia Pacific design and development team in Australia, in cooperation with colleagues from across Asia Pacific and around the world.

“We can’t wait to show the world the latest example of our One Ford global product strategy in action,” said Trevor Worthington, vice president, Product Development, Ford Asia Pacific. “After five years and 4,500 man-years of design and development work, we’re going to redefine what customers can expect from an SUV.”
