More About The Everest
After it stopped the sales of Territory in Australia, the automaker wanted to replace the high-beloved car with Endura and Everest, but the loyal fan base of the Territory was not appeased. The Everest is still preferred mostly for its off-road capacity and not for the Territory’s drivability.
The Everest is all about off-road trips, which is why the makers added an optional roof rack feature to the Trend, Ambiente and Sport, in addition to all the driver-assist features the car was initially fitted with.
The Everest is one of the most sought-after SUVs. Its major buyers are growing families and lovers of adventure who use it for off-road trips.
