Verdict
The Ford Everest UB asks RM94,204 more, but brings AWD, 207 hp and 500 Nm against the T6’s rear-wheel drive, 158 hp and 385 Nm. It also has seven airbags, blind-spot monitoring and collision warning, where the T6 has three airbags and lacks those driver aids. Yet the older T6 is not automatically the poor relation: its 450-litre boot is 191 litres larger than the UB’s 259 litres, and it costs RM160 more in annual road tax. For a Malaysian buyer, the UB is the better-equipped family SUV; the T6 is the rational used-value choice if luggage space matters most.
Pick the Ford Everest T6 if you want the far lower entry cost and its 450-litre boot matters more than AWD, extra power and newer safety equipment.
Pick the Ford Everest UB if you want 207 hp, 500 Nm, AWD and seven airbags for a more complete seven-seat family SUV.
