Verdict
At RM266,388 versus RM281,888, the Ford Everest 4x2 Sport is RM15,500 cheaper yet keeps the same 1,996 cc diesel output of 167 hp and 405 Nm, the same seven-seat cabin and the same 5-star ANCAP rating with seven airbags. The Ford Everest 4x4 Trend spends the extra money on all-wheel drive, a bi-turbo engine layout and a 10-speed automatic instead of rear-wheel drive, single turbo and six speeds. But it also gives up some convenience kit, so the pricier car is the traction pick, not the easy value pick.
Pick the Ford Everest 4x2 Sport if you want the lower price, powered contactless boot, more front parking sensors and the same 167 hp/405 Nm output.
Pick the Ford Everest 4x4 Trend if all-wheel drive and the 10R80 10-speed automatic matter more than the RM15,500 saving and convenience extras.
