2027 Ford Everest range gains Wolftrak edition as Wildtrak exits and Platinum price dips

Wolftrak replaces Wildtrak in the MY27 lineup

The Ford Everest has followed its Ranger ute sibling in gaining a Wolftrak edition as part of a minor model year 2027 update, and the new variant is available to order now. CarExpert reports the Wolftrak effectively replaces the Everest Wildtrak, which bows out after model year 2026.5, leaving the Wolftrak flying the flag alone in Ford's lineup with the Ranger Wolftrak also disappearing for MY27. ¹

Unlike the outgoing Wildtrak, the Wolftrak is offered with both the 2.0-litre four-cylinder and the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel. Torquecafe notes prices start from $73,000 drive-away for the four-cylinder and rise to $79,990 before on-road costs for the V6, both $3000 more than the equivalent Everest Sport, with the V6's drive-away price landing roughly between $87,500 and $90,000 depending on location. ¹³

The Wolftrak is based on the Sport. Torquecafe reports it adds cosmetic changes including green badging and grille inserts, embroidered front seats, and a standard tow bar and brake controller, while CarExpert details a trio of exterior finishes and optional wheels carrying the green theme. ¹³

What the Wolftrak adds over the Sport

CarExpert reports the Wolftrak gains Zest Green exterior highlights and Traction Green interior accents, with Traction Green paint – previously exclusive to the Ranger Super Duty and Wolftrak – as the standard exterior finish. Shadow Black and Command Grey are no-cost options, and buyers can swap the standard black 20-inch alloys for 17-inch wheels with a pocket of Zest Green wrapped in 255/70R17 all-terrain tyres at no cost. Where items were orange on the defunct Wildtrak, they are now green on the Wolftrak. ¹

Over the Sport, the Wolftrak also includes the contents of the $2500 Premium Towing Pack as standard, comprising a tow bar with integrated brake controller, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage and a trailer connection alarm. CarExpert notes this replaces the extra kit the Wildtrak offered over the Sport, which was headlined by matrix LED headlights and a panoramic sunroof. ¹

There is one upholstery discrepancy between outlets. CarExpert reports the Wolftrak sticks with leather-accented upholstery even though the Active and Sport have dropped it for MY27 in favour of leatherette trim, while Torquecafe states the Everest Wolftrak features synthetic leather-look seat upholstery now also standard on the lower grades. Neither outlet resolves the difference, so buyers may wish to confirm trim with a dealer. ¹³

Minor tweaks elsewhere in the range, unchanged pricing

List prices are unchanged for MY27 apart from a $573 decrease in the flagship Platinum's price, which CarExpert attributes to changes to the Luxury Car Tax. The Platinum V6 is now listed at $82,917 before on-road costs. An earlier CarExpert report on the MY27 lineup, based on RedBook listings in August 2026, had flagged the same Platinum reduction before Ford Australia had confirmed the changes or local arrival timing. ¹⁴

Other MY27 changes are light. CarExpert reports all variants except the Active gain an easy entry/exit feature that slides the driver's seat to aid access, the Tremor now has embroidered rather than embossed seat naming, the Platinum gets debossed naming, the Tremor is listed with heavy-duty composite side steps, second-row occupants get two USB-C ports instead of a USB-A and a USB-C outlet, and Desert Island Blue replaces Blue Lightning on an otherwise unchanged palette. ¹

Mechanically the Everest is unchanged. It already lost the 2.0-litre bi-turbo four-cylinder diesel for MY26.5, swapping to a single-turbo unit with 125kW and 405Nm and downgrading from full-time to part-time four-wheel drive, with fuel consumption effectively unchanged at 7.1L/100km. The 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre V6 continues with a 10-speed auto and full-time 4WD. CarExpert also notes MY26.5 dropped the Ambiente and Trend for a new base Active and standardised the 12.0-inch touchscreen across the range. ¹

How the Everest line-up stacks up and sells

CarExpert's MY27 price list runs from the Active 2.0TD at $58,990 before on-road costs, through the Active V6 ($66,990), Sport 2.0TD ($68,990), Wolftrak 2.0TD ($73,000 drive-away), Sport V6 ($76,990), Tremor V6 ($79,990), Wolftrak V6 ($79,990) and Platinum V6 ($82,917). The publication's showroom data shows drive-away pricing from $64,057 for the Active to $89,180 for the Platinum, based on a Sydney location, which is a different basis from the before-on-roads list prices. ¹⁵

In the entry grades, the five-seat Active is priced at $58,990 before on-road costs, with Ford Australia currently offering it at $60,000 drive-away. CarExpert notes the Active comes standard with four-wheel drive, as rear-drive Everests are no longer available in Australia, and a third row of seating adds $1350. ²⁶

Sales context is competitive. Torquecafe reports the Everest remains the best-selling large SUV year-to-date in Australia, though it continues in a close battle with the Toyota LandCruiser Prado. CarExpert's showroom data lists 12,830 sales for the Everest in 2026 to date, following 26,161 sales in 2025, based on VFACTS and EVC data. ³⁵

Review findings on the current engine and range

CarExpert's week-long review of the five-seat Everest Active found the new single-turbo diesel more pleasant in day-to-day driving than its 125kW/405Nm outputs suggest, though it could not match the 7.1L/100km claim, recording 9.3L/100km on an inner-city, suburban and highway loop and 8.5L/100km over 500km-plus of driving. The reviewer also noted the Active's part-time 4WD system has only 4H and 4L modes, whereas the old bi-turbo had a 4A mode usable on sealed roads. The publication praised the Australian-developed ride and handling but criticised the interior's hard plastics and ute-grade ambience. ²⁶

A CarExpert NZ quick drive of the MY2026.5 Everest at its Australasian launch in Melbourne reached similar broad conclusions, reporting the V6 remains unchanged at 184kW/600Nm with the 10-speed automatic, that the 2.0-litre is a single-turbo unit making 32kW and 145Nm less than the old bi-turbo, and that a brief drive suggested real-world economy around 7.5L/100km. New Zealand pricing differs from Australia, with that market listing the Everest from $68,990 before on-road costs for the Active, so those figures should not be read across to the Australian lineup. ⁷

On safety and ownership, CarExpert reports the Everest carries a five-star ANCAP rating based on 2022 testing, with a five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty, 12-month or 15,000km service intervals and capped-price servicing at $399 per visit or $1596 for a five-year prepaid plan. The Everest is built in Thailand, per CarExpert's showroom page. ²⁵⁶

Ford has not announced any production limit for the Everest Wolftrak, though Torquecafe notes the company restricted how many Ranger Wolftraks it made and applied a similar approach to the previously available Everest Wildtrak. ³
