Ford South Africa has unveiled the refreshed 2026 Everest range, adding a fresh engine option, several spec upgrades, and a brand‑new entry‑level model called the Active, which will replace the XLT as the lowest‑trim Evergreen.
The announcement follows a recent push to revamp the 2026 Ranger series, but the Everest will see its own set of updates. The new engine option is expected to give the SUV better efficiency and performance, while the specification changes aim to keep the vehicle competitive in the crowded SUV market.
With the Active derivative stepping in, buyers will have a more accessible, feature‑rich starting point on the Everest ladder—streamlining the lineup and positioning the brand for the upcoming model year.
