2026 Ford Everest V6 and Off-Road Ford Everest Tremor Unveiled at Liwa Festival for Middle East Buyers

Ford Introduces 2026 Everest V6 and Debuts Everest Tremor in the Middle East

Ford Middle East and North Africa has unveiled the 2026 Ford Everest at the Liwa International Festival, introducing a powerful Middle East-exclusive 2.7L V6 EcoBoost engine and debuting the adventure-focused Everest Tremor variant. Designed to meet the region’s driving conditions, the new Everest strengthens Ford’s position in the midsize SUV segment by blending performance, comfort and off-road capability.

For SUV buyers in the UAE and Middle East, the new Everest promises a vehicle that is equally suited for daily city driving, long highway journeys and challenging desert terrain.

Middle East-Tuned 2.7L V6 EcoBoost Engine

The highlight of the 2026 Everest lineup is the new 2.7-litre V6 EcoBoost petrol engine, developed specifically for regional needs. It produces an impressive 355 hp and 500 Nm of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

For buyers, this translates into:

• Stronger acceleration and smoother overtaking on highways.

• Confident towing and load-carrying ability for family trips.

• Better performance in sand and off-road conditions compared to smaller engines.

Ford claims class-leading power and torque figures in the segment, giving the Everest an edge for customers who want a powerful yet refined family SUV (pending final GSO certification).

Expanded Variant Lineup for Different Lifestyles

The 2026 Ford Everest range will be offered in Active, Sport, Platinum, and the all-new Tremor trims. This wider choice allows buyers to pick a version that best matches their lifestyle, whether they prioritise value, sporty styling, premium comfort or hardcore off-road performance.

This approach ensures that the Everest appeals to a broad audience, from urban families to adventure enthusiasts, without compromising on performance or safety.

Everest Tremor: Adventure-Ready from the Factory

Making its regional debut, the Everest Tremor is engineered for customers who love off-road adventures but still need everyday usability. It features:

• 17-inch all-terrain tyres for improved grip on sand and rough trails.

• Bilstein off-road suspension for better control and durability.

• Proven 4WD hardware, enhancing capability in desert conditions.

For buyers, the Tremor offers a ready-made off-road package straight from the showroom, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications. It’s ideal for families who enjoy weekend desert drives, camping, and outdoor exploration, while still demanding comfort and practicality during the week.

The Everest Tremor joins Ford’s growing Tremor lineup in the region, alongside the F-150 Tremor and Expedition Tremor, extending Ford’s off-road heritage to more customers.

Built for the Middle East

Speaking at the event, Ravi Ravichandran, President of Ford Middle East and North Africa, said the new Everest reflects what regional customers expect from a modern SUV: capability, everyday comfort and advanced technology that works across city roads, highways and dunes.

For buyers, this means a vehicle tuned for:

• High temperatures and long-distance driving,

• Desert terrain and mixed road conditions,

• And real-world regional usage, backed by Ford’s 40+ years of presence in the Middle East.

‘Ready. Set. Ford.’ – A New Brand Direction

Ford also introduced its new regional brand identity, “Ready. Set. Ford.”, at Liwa. The new direction highlights Ford’s focus on purpose-driven performance and vehicles that are ready for every journey.

For customers, it signals Ford’s continued commitment to delivering SUVs that are not just feature-rich, but genuinely capable and tailored to local needs.

What It Means for Buyers

With the 2026 Everest V6 and the Tremor variant, Ford is offering Middle East SUV buyers:

• One of the most powerful engines in its class,

• A factory-built off-road SUV option,

• Multiple trims to suit different budgets and preferences,

• And a vehicle designed specifically for regional conditions.

The new Everest is shaping up to be a strong choice for families seeking a do-it-all midsize SUV with real desert credentials and everyday comfort.
