Review: 2023 Ford Everest 2.0 Turbo Sport 4x2
When carmakers lend out vehicles, often, it’s the top-of-the-line trim. This is their way of putting their best foot forward. Occasionally, however, they’d do something different. Spurred by various reasons—the two ones I could think of being the way the segment’s shaped (mid- and entry-level models, after all, typically make up a chunk of sales); or perhaps, they know they’ve got a new story to tell, they let us have a go at something other than the most expensive variant. After some seat time with the Ford Everest Sport, I could say that this is the best bang-for-the-buck variant in the line-up, and as an added bonus, it’s the best driving Everest variant too.
