Ford Everest: T6 vs UB
Verdict
The Ford Everest UB is the newer, dearer car: RM266,388 against RM187,684, a RM78,704 jump. Mechanically it is not a huge leap, staying diesel, rear-wheel drive and six-speed automatic, but its 2.0 makes 167 hp/405 Nm versus the T6’s 2.2 at 158 hp/385 Nm, while weighing 104 kg less. The UB also adds blind spot monitoring, collision warning, a reverse camera and a 10.1-inch SYNC4A screen. The T6 counters with a far bigger 450-litre boot and a full-size spare.
Pick the Ford Everest T6 if you want the cheaper seven-seat Everest with the bigger boot, more cabin power sockets and a full-size spare.
Pick the Ford Everest UB if you want the stronger, lighter newer-generation car with more driver assistance, keyless convenience and the larger infotainment screen.
