• Is the Ford Everest a good car?

  Based on the highly successful Ford Ranger platform, the Ford Everest goes one step further and takes this SUV into bold territory. Look past the glittering façade and you're treated to loads of charisma, performance, practicality, space and towing capacity. Add in 4WD functionality, and you also have yourself a versatile unit that is adept on or off the road. With a host of variants in the Everest line-up to choose from, you can also settle for something a little more affordable or treat yourself to that all-out adventure partner.

• Which is better Everest or Fortuner?

  Both the Ford Everest and Toyota Fortuner have won their legion of fans and that's because both cars are very commendable choices in the SUV segment. Each can cater for up to seven occupants with ample space and amenity, plus sweeping technology throughout the cabin that makes for a comfortable experience. There is slightly more choice and power available in the Everest series, although Toyota edges ahead for reliability, polished looks and safety across the broader line-up. You'll have a tough time on your hands separating these two, best to give each of them a test drive and experience them for yourself.
