Ford Australia has confirmed that the special edition 2024 Ford Everest Wildtrak will be launched locally in the third quarter of 2023. Priced from $73,090 plus on-road costs, the Wildtrak sits above the Sport but below the range-topping Platinum. It introduces new features to the Everest like ‘Cyber Orange’ paintwork and the same colour for the stitching inside, unique exterior styling for a tougher look and Wildtrak badging across the bonnet.
“Australians understand what the Wildtrak badge means – which is why it is one of our most popular Ranger variants – and we’re thrilled to add it to the Everest family for the first time,” said Andrew Birkic, President and CEO, Ford Australia and New Zealand.
“Everest Wildtrak will give customers a vehicle that helps them go wherever their adventurous spirit takes them, and puts a smile on their face while doing it.”
Over the Everest Sport that sits below it, the 2024 Ford Everest Wildtrak adds a number of features, including 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, tyre pressure monitoring, exterior zone lighting, a 360-degree camera, black full leather upholstery with orange stitching, tyre pressure monitoring, ambient interior lighting and unique exterior accents, including Wildtrak badging, a Wildtrak front bumper with dark accents, black wheel arch trim and black window surrounds.
