The Everest is a 7-seater, however, if your party is small, the seats can be folded to make room for luggage.
2022 Ford Everest: Exterior design
As mentioned earlier, the new Everest now gets wider tracks and a longer wheelbase. It not only calls for better driving dynamics but also gives the SUV a more progressive & muscular approach. Other changes that lead to design changes include - a strong shoulder line which emphasizes the vehicle’s length, wider tracks resulting in a dramatic swell over the wheels, and increased rear glass and pillar.
The lighting unit of the car is quite impressive too with the C-clamp LED DRLs that are seamlessly integrated into the full-width horizontal grille and the full-width LED tail lights. The Titanium trim benefits from Ford’s latest Matrix LED headlamps with glare-free high beams that offer maximum visibility, dynamic & static bending capability, and speed-dependent lighting. Also, part of the car's kit is LED front fog lamps, LED stop lamps, and LED rear fog lamps.
Another striking and useful design element is the roof rails that apart from adding to the style offer rooftop versatility that allows the driver to carry cargo, bikes, canoes, cargo pods, and roof-top tents.
Also part of the kit is a new dual-panel panoramic sunroof, hands-free power liftgate, and 20/18-inch alloy wheels.

This gets more elbow, shoulder, and leg room, along with easy access third-row thanks to the second-row seats sliding further than before. Further, the tailgate is a lifter to stop items from falling out and is known as the ‘apple catcher’ along with underfloor storage space.
Other inclusions that make it easier are - an electronic parking brake, three 12V sockets, premium black seats with 8-way power adjustable seats, a high-resolution 10.1/12-inch touchscreen, SYNC 4A infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 8 speakers, reverse camera (360-degree camera with split-view display), 8/12-inch digital instrument panel, 4 USB charging ports, ans a wireless charger.
