New Ford Everest price 2 billion - twice as expensive as Fortuner in Vietnam

The D-size SUV model increased the price of the highest version from 1.6 billion to nearly 2 billion, while the highest version of Toyota Fortuner costs 1.2 billion.

Ford brought Everest to Vietnam in October 2015 at the Vietnam Motor Show, and then at the end of the year, the official selling price was announced. The price of 1.629 billion at that time surprised many customers, but Ford had a reason to charge a high price, due to the import advantage as well as superior equipment.

From July 1, due to the impact of the new special consumption tax, Everest as well as many other models of the American car company will increase in price from tens to hundreds of millions. Everest Titanium Plus version has the biggest increase, from 1.629 billion to 1.936 billion, an increase of 307 million.

Everest Titanium Plus has a sharp price increase due to the installation of a 3.2-liter engine, subject to a new special consumption tax rate of 90%, instead of the previous rate of 60%. The 3.2-liter inline 5-cylinder engine (I5) produces 200 horsepower and a maximum torque of 470 Nm. 6-speed automatic transmission, full-time 4-wheel drive. The car can wade through 800 mm of water.

The interior is equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, sunroof, electric trunk, rear camera, parking assist sensors and active parking assist. Leather-wrapped steering wheel, 8-way power driver and passenger seats.

10-speaker sound system, AUX, MP3, Ipod and USB connection, Bluetooth, 1-disc CD. Sync entertainment technology, Ford voice control displayed via 8-inch touch screen.

Safety technology includes front, side, curtain, knee airbags; ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, ESP electronic body balance, hill start assist, hill descent control, cruise control, lane departure warning, lane assist, collision warning, tire pressure control, blind spot warning, front cross traffic warning.

Compared to Fortuner, the technology on Everest is "a world apart". Toyota's model doesn't even have electronic balance.

Besides Everest, due to the impact of the new tax, another Ford model that has increased in price is Ranger, increasing by 10-40 million. Meanwhile, two small cars with 1.5 liter engines, Fiesta and EcoSport, have decreased in price by more than 20 million.
