Ford has expanded the 2026 Everest lineup in the UAE with a new Middle East-exclusive 2.7-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 petrol engine. The latest engine option produces 310 hp and 542 Nm of torque, offering buyers an alternative to the SUV's existing four-cylinder powertrains.
The new V6 is listed across the Active, Sport, Tremor and Platinum variants. It is paired with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system. The update also gives UAE buyers more flexibility, as the V6 engine is not restricted to the range-topping Platinum variant.

Ford Everest 2.7L V6 engine and performance
The biggest update to the 2026 Ford Everest is its new 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 petrol engine. It produces 310hp and 542Nm of peak torque, giving the SUV a stronger six-cylinder option for highway driving and demanding terrain.
The engine is connected to a 10-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, which sends power to all four wheels. The combination of a twin-turbo V6 and 4x4 drivetrain is intended to support both everyday driving and off-road use.

| Power | 310 hp |

Four engine and trim combinations
The new V6 engine is listed for all four Everest variants: Active, Sport, Tremor and Platinum. This means buyers can choose the six-cylinder powertrain without necessarily opting for the most expensive trim.
The Active variant also retains other engine choices, including a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel and a 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder petrol engine. This gives buyers a choice between different powertrain configurations within the same model range.
The Tremor is the off-road-focused version of the Everest lineup. It adds specialised hardware, including Bilstein suspension and an additional Rock Crawl driving mode. The Sport and Platinum variants offer different equipment packages, allowing buyers to choose according to their preferences for styling, comfort and technology.
Towing capacity and off-road capability
The Ford Everest continues to use a body-on-frame construction, supporting its focus on towing and off-road driving. The SUV has a maximum braked towing capacity of up to 3,500kg, depending on the vehicle's specification, equipment and loading limits.
Selected variants also offer Pro-Trailer Backup Assist, which helps drivers steer a vehicle and trailer while reversing. This feature can be useful for owners who regularly tow recreational equipment or trailers.
The Everest also offers a Sand driving mode, which adjusts power delivery, gear changes and stability-control settings for loose surfaces. The Tremor takes off-road capability further with Bilstein suspension and its additional Rock Crawl mode.
Ford tests Everest for Middle East driving conditions
Ford has been conducting regional testing to evaluate Everest's performance in the demanding conditions found across the Middle East. The testing programme focuses on areas such as cooling performance, powertrain temperatures and overall vehicle behaviour in high temperatures, desert sand and challenging terrain.
The programme is intended to assess how the SUV performs across different local driving environments, including demanding off-road conditions. This is particularly relevant for the UAE, where vehicles may experience high ambient temperatures, sandy tracks and extended highway journeys.
2026 Ford Everest V6 in the UAE
The introduction of the 2.7-litre V6 expands the Ford Everest's powertrain choices in the UAE. With 310 hp, 542 Nm and a 10-speed automatic transmission, the new engine gives buyers another option in the seven-seat SUV segment.
The availability of the V6 across Active, Sport, Tremor and Platinum trims also means buyers can consider the engine separately from the additional equipment offered by higher variants. For those who regularly venture off-road, the Tremor adds dedicated suspension and driving-mode upgrades.
Ford has yet to announce specific UAE prices for the V6 variants. Buyers interested in the updated Everest should check with local dealerships for confirmed specifications, pricing and delivery timelines.
