Verdict
The RM22,000 step to the Ford Everest 4x4 Wildtrak buys a 207 hp, 500 Nm bi-turbo diesel against the Sport’s 168 hp and 405 Nm single-turbo unit, plus bi-LED projector headlamps, autonomous braking and a 360-degree camera with auto parking. That is meaningful hardware for a seven-seat diesel 4x4. But the Sport retains steering-correction lane keeping, four front parking sensors and Tiptronic control, so it is not simply the stripped-out choice. Pick on how much you value the stronger engine and parking aids.
Pick the Ford Everest 4x4 Sport if you want to save RM22,000 while keeping steering-correction lane keeping, four front parking sensors and Tiptronic control.
Pick the Ford Everest 4x4 Wildtrak if you want the 207 hp bi-turbo diesel, autonomous braking, bi-LED projectors and 360-degree parking view.
