In a country where sudden downpour leads to flooded roads, having a vehicle that comes with a high ground clearance and a capable engine is a must. With that in mind, you might consider buying a seven-seater SUV and the 2018 Ford Everest is one of the ideal choices available in the Philippine market today.
The 2018 Ford Everest is available in six variants with a starting price of PHP1.518 million while the top-of-the-line 3.2-liter Titanium 4x4 AT is priced at PHP2.288 million. Speaking of which, the top Everest variant is powered by a 3.2-liter diesel engine that delivers 197 hp and 470 Nm of torque. The engine is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission. In terms of dimensions, it is 4,893mm long, 1,862mm wide, and 1836mm tall along with a wheelbase of 2,850mm.

Speaking of floods, the 2018 Everest features 225 mm of ground clearance and an 800 mm water-wading depth.
