Verdict
The Ford Everest UB is the far more capable new-generation choice, but its RM281,888 price is RM94,204 above the Ford Everest T6 at RM187,684. That money buys 207 hp and 500 Nm from the bi-turbo diesel, AWD and a 10-speed automatic, against 158 hp, 385 Nm, rear-wheel drive and six speeds. It also brings blind-spot monitoring, collision warning and a reverse camera. But the T6 carries a decisive 450-litre boot versus 259 litres, costs RM160 less in annual road tax and remains the sensible used-buy route for buyers who need luggage space.
Pick the Ford Everest T6 if a 450-litre boot and a much lower RM187,684 entry price matter more than outright performance and driver assistance.
Pick the Ford Everest UB if you want 207 hp, 500 Nm, AWD, a 10-speed automatic and the stronger safety and infotainment package.
