The custom Ford Everest showcased at BIMS 2019 boasts an 'all-black' look that makes it look more aggressive.

The custom Ford Everest that has been put in display at the motor show features a custom look, which is courtesy of an all-black paint scheme and off-road-spec wheels that have been shod with all-terrain tires. In the side profile, the show car features a black plastic cladding and new footsteps with orange accents. The interior, which has been left untouched, has a dark-grey theme and all-black leather upholstery.

While the pre-facelift Thai-spec Ford Everest used to be available with the same 2.2-litre and 3.2-litre oil-burners that propel the Indian version, the updated model for Thailand features a new 2.0-litre motor that is available in single-turbo and bi-turbo configurations. Compared to the 2.2-litre and 3.2-litre engines, which produce 160 PS//385 Nm and 200PS/470 Nm, respectively, the 2.0-litre unit offers 180 PS/420 Nm with a single turbocharger and 213 PS/500 Nm with a bi-turbo setup.

The new 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and bi-turbo diesel units have been borrowed from the latest versions of the Ford Ranger and the new Ford Ranger Raptor, respectively. While the earlier set of engines were paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission each, the new motors come mated to 10-speed automatic units. The top-spec variant offers 4WD hardware.
