0 -> - Tito Martin. - Yes, Senpai?

1.743 -> I saw in one of your videos that you trashed the Everest and the Ranger.

6.355 -> - Not really. More of tough love. In Zambales, right? - Yes.

13.4 -> - You turbo-ed all the way. - Tough love.

16.977 -> Tough love, yes.

18.463 -> - But the car you drove there was the top-of-the-line Everest. - Yes, the top-of-the-line.

22.844 -> - Well, that was what Ford Philippines handed to us. - Perfect. Because today, we can explore together.

27.391 -> - Explore what? Is there a Ford Explorer here? - No, this one. The new Ford Everest Sport variant,

35.893 -> - This is the mid-level... middle child, if you will. - Middle child...

39.587 -> because well, for others, their budget won't make the top-of-the-line model.

43.329 -> Yes, correct.

45.118 -> Of course, before we start, Christmas is nearing but many of you are still unsubscribed so please do so

51.642 -> because Elon Musk will get mad at you.

54.544 -> - Why would Elon be mad? - Because he wants you to pay an $8 subscription

62.494 -> - so your account will be verified. - Okay, okay.

65.564 -> - You went far, Senpai. - It is what it is.

68.058 -> But Senpai is right. Subscribe so our Philkotse family will further grow.

73.123 -> Yes. I'm Stanley Chi, your "Senpai ng Turbuhan,"

75.123 -> and this is Martin Aguilar, your "Kambyo Boy Next Door."

79.717 -> Let's now start because it's very hot in here.

81.357 -> - Woo! Woo! - I don't want to lift my shirt. I have a lot of hair.

86.963 -> [music starts playing]

111.199 -> [engine revs]

115.365 -> (Looking for a car?)

122.4 -> (Go to Philkotse now!)

129.206 -> Before we start the Ford Everest, the price is at Php 2,089,000.

134.31 -> - Tito Martin, let's check out the front. - Alright.

137.17 -> Let's go.

138.579 -> Upfront, only the Sport variant gets black accents.

142.524 -> And then, of course, the grille is blacked-out.

145.055 -> You don't need to go to an aftermarket because it already comes with Everest logo on the front.

148.271 -> Here.

149.735 -> And then, it has an LED lighting system, automatic headlights, and we have dual tow hooks.

156.147 -> - Yes, Senpai. Do you want to see the engine? - Let's do it, of course.

162.518 -> Let's open the hood.

165.797 -> [hood pops]

167.376 -> [door thuds]

171.378 -> - That's heavy, right? - It is quite heavy.

177.284 -> - Ohh, this way. - There you go.

180.28 -> Okay.

183.06 -> The Ford Everest Sport is powered by a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine,

187.27 -> that delivers 168 horsepower and 405 Nm of torque.

192.1 -> And then, the engine is connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

196.306 -> In terms of fuel economy, we got 8.3 km/l while driving within the city at an average speed of 20 km/h.

205.849 -> Meanwhile, we were able to get 15.6 km/l on the highway while driving cruising at 90 km/h.

214.292 -> - Got it, Senpai? - Sure.

216 -> - I'll close it again? - Yes.

216.998 -> Alright.

225.805 -> [hood thuds]

226.567 -> Okay, let's move to the side, Senpai.

228.567 -> This is one of the things I liked the most about the Ford Everest Sport...

231.61 -> the 20-inch alloy wheels in black.

234.476 -> The color looks nice, and it goes well with the blue exterior of this variant.

239.414 -> And then, further down the side, you will also see that it has power-folding side mirrors.

243.871 -> The door handles, Senpai, are black, as well as the roof rails and the window surround.

250.428 -> Why am I saying this?

251.709 -> Well, the top-spec Titanium trim of the Everest has those in chrome.

256.272 -> Since this is the Sport variant, the design is themed in black.

260.549 -> - The wheel looks nice. - Yes, Senpai. It really is.

264.146 -> - Nice! An Everest but the tires are Territory. - Ohh, yes. Territory HT

271.175 -> - You're seeing a lot of things. Let's just head to the rear. - No, I just noticed.

275.158 -> Senpai, here at the rear, one of the giveaways that this is the mid-spec variant is the taillight design.

282.209 -> The Sport has its taillight assembly extended all the way over here

287.169 -> because in the base model, the taillight design is just on the corners.

290.354 -> And then, the placement of the Everest nameplate is also subtle.

294.267 -> If you will notice, our top-spec Everest Titanium has a shark fin antenna.

300.42 -> This one gets the normal rod type antenna. But it also has this roof spoiler with third brakelight.

306.616 -> Overall, Senpai, what you see on the entirety of the exterior is that all chromes have turned to black.

313.577 -> In other words, the Sport is dechromed.

315.32 -> So you don't need to go to an aftermarket shop, like you said earlier, to dechrome the chrome, shiny exterior bits.

321.644 -> Also, Senpai, this comes with this detail on the rear glass.

326.316 -> On the left part, it has this building-like graphics.

329.738 -> - So that implies city. - City.

332.05 -> And when you move to the other side, you will see mountains... Everest.

335.537 -> - So you can use this for off-roads. - Yes.

337.537 -> - Literally, if you traverse a city, you will see mountains. - You're right, Senpai.

343.11 -> Of course, since we're at the back, this comes with ma-ma-matic tailgate.

347.359 -> No dude...

348.261 -> [Together] Power tailgate.

349.853 -> - Let's open it up. - Show it to me.

353.529 -> Power tailgate.

355.832 -> It really is powered.

357.395 -> There. The loading height is quite high, But when the third-row seats aren't folded,

363.421 -> two small suitcases.

365.422 -> Let's fold the third-row seats.

368.24 -> - Can you do it, Senpai? - We can do it.

369.638 -> There you go.

371.308 -> See? Very flat. Maybe three and a half balikbayan boxes will fit in here.

378.28 -> - You're right... with spare room for more, yes? - Yes. Of course, when you fold the second row...

384.335 -> - That will become more spacious. - More spacious, yes.

385.641 -> - You can put in small cushions. - Ahh, yes. That's possible.

391.95 -> - Camper. - Yes.

393.95 -> - Okay. - Close that now, Senpai.

394.897 -> Alright.

402.128 -> [door thuds]

402.628 -> The Ford Everest Sport measures 4,904 mm in length, 2,201 mm wide, 1,884 mm tall,

412.075 -> and has a wheelbase of 2,900 mm, and a ground clearance of 223 mm.

418.917 -> We are now in the third-row seats.

420.917 -> The legroom is okay for a guy like me standing at 5'6.

424.445 -> The headroom is a bit tight. Two Stanleys are perfect for this space.

430.666 -> If a Vincent will sit here, it must be one and a half Vincent, okay?

435.204 -> We have bottle holders, a 12-volt socket, dedicated air vents, aircon, and what I noticed in this is that

446.721 -> the cushioning is not very well. It is quite thin, the materials used.

452.505 -> My sitting position is quite upright. The cushioning is thin.

456.45 -> I cannot recline the third row because there are no adjustments on the side unlike other SUVs we reviewed,

464.027 -> those have adjustments on the side.

467.213 -> There.

468.982 -> So if you are an adult in the third row, you might not bear the third row.

473.322 -> You might want to switch with those sitting in the second row.

476.667 -> Here in the second row, my sitting position feels comfortable.

480.037 -> The legroom and headroom are ample, while the cushioning is better as compared to the third row.

485.777 -> And then, we have an armrest with cupholders.

491.602 -> We have aircon vents and we have air controls over here.

498.121 -> You can adjust. We have a charger, a USB Type C, making this vehicle future-proof.

504.293 -> Well, all of us are heading there. And Type C charging is faster.

510 -> And then, I find the bottle holder weird because the space is squarish.

520.246 -> Now, we are in the front cabin of the Ford Everest Sport.

523.641 -> One of the design details I liked is the glossy black trim on the dashboard.

528.464 -> Why? Well, it's like a design continuity from the black trims outside.

532.778 -> Also, the aircon vents are like the continuity from the design of the grille.

538.815 -> When you move to the seats, I have an 8-way power adjustable seat.

544.21 -> That's not available in the driver's seat only but also in the front passenger.

547.979 -> And then, moving to the steering wheel, we have a leather- wrapped steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustment.

554.998 -> Not bad for a mid-spec variant.

557.244 -> And then, when you look at the front, this comes with an 8-inch digital gauge cluster.

562.497 -> This doesn't get analog gauges that you saw in the previous-generation Everest.

567.634 -> This one, your gauge cluster is all digital.

570.884 -> When you move to the center, it has a 10-inch infotainment system with SYNC 4.

576.49 -> And that's not all. This also gets wireless Apple CarPlay but wired Android Auto.

581.689 -> And then, the system is paired with eight speakers.

585.701 -> Let's go back to the wireless Apple CarPlay.

587.701 -> It is a good combo for iPhone users because this vehicle is also installed with a wireless phone charger.

594.464 -> In that way, you don't need a cable to access it or for you to connect your phone whenever you want to use the CarPlay.

600.625 -> Another thing is that you're still fully charged once you arrived at your destination.

604.516 -> Like what Senpai Stan said at the back, this Ford Everest Sport also has two USB ports at the front.

611.351 -> This is also future-proof because we have a Type C USB port.

615.822 -> This provides faster charging and this is the direction of many new smartphones these days.

620.723 -> And then, let's go back to the driver's seat.

623.989 -> The high-touch points are soft, padded in leather,

629.638 -> which something you'll appreciate considering that this is the mid-spec variant.

634.23 -> And that's not where the soft-padded materials end. Even the door panels get it. See that?

640.114 -> This is still soft leather, even on this concave part uses leather.

645.199 -> And like we said in our previous videos, the door handles of the Ford Everest and Ranger are hidden.

651.497 -> It can be found here, which for me has a good design because the amount of space cleared out on the door panel is huge.

659.796 -> It is more pleasing to eyes, and the design is more seamless.

663.455 -> Since this is a mid-spec variant, Senpai, I noticed that it has a different gear shifter.

670.779 -> Because in the top-spec Everest, the electronic gear shift is like a mouse type.

676.352 -> This one is still geared, and it is similar to the one in the Ford Ranger.

683.032 -> Dude, I just noticed in the aircon controls of this vehicle.

688.606 -> It has this... and this. - Ahh, physical buttons, you mean?

693.284 -> Yes. You can press this for the fan speed, and you have dual-zone climate control...

698.063 -> - You can get tweak it. - for different temperatures.

701.467 -> - You can also do that on the touchscreen. - Yes, you can also adjust it here.

705.535 -> Then you can access it here.

708.001 -> But the good aspect of this is the fact that it still has separate physical buttons.

712.077 -> - What can you say about that, Senpai? - Yes, this is simply different.

715.611 -> - And when this hung, you can... - In case, in the event that the screen hung,

722.013 -> you can easily adjust the fan speed and climate control... even the volume.

728.702 -> We just don't have music now.

730.144 -> - Okay. - Okay.

731.553 -> - So your vehicle's name is Rex. - Eve-Rex.

734.607 -> Eve-Rex.

735.297 -> [Stanley laughing]

736.714 -> - So do you want to drive? - Let's do it.

738.714 -> For safety and tech, the Ford Everest has a smart keyless entry, a windscreen-mounted USB port,

744.799 -> cruise control, seven airbags, adjustable speed limiter, hill launch assist, roll over mitigation,

752.432 -> front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and ISOFIX tethers.

758.04 -> - So now, we're driving, Tito Martin. - Yes, Senpai.

761.222 -> This is our favorite part. You know, I just noticed, the NVH is good.

766.362 -> You can't hear the engine and outside noises that much.

770.136 -> But since the seats are flat here, the body roll, even though it is minimal,

775.394 -> - just turn the vehicle and I'm swayed easily. - You follow the turn?

779.413 -> Yes, you will.

781.987 -> But the ride quality is better than the previous generation.

789.426 -> - How about you, Tito Martin, what's your situation? - Well, of course, driving is fun.

793.931 -> Driving this Ford Everest Sport, again, this doesn't use the bi-turbo engine, right?

799.028 -> But, for me, it's not that much of a problem because it doesn't feel underpowered,

804.15 -> if that is the concern of some people.

806.489 -> It still delivers adequate power and you will really feel the pull when you step on the acceleration pedal.

815.65 -> And then, what I also like here is its steering wheel, Senpai Stan, because it is not very light,

821.646 -> but it is not also very heavy. Considering that this is a midsized SUV,

826.869 -> it feels comfortable driving this Everest Sport.

830.475 -> That is what the overall steering feel can give.

834.007 -> Then, like I said earlier, the acceleration.

838.582 -> Sorry, I mean the power delivery, the throttle response is okay, Senpai Stan,

844.449 -> even though it doesn't use the bi-turbo engine.

846.487 -> I don't have other things to find because look at this, it gives you power when you need it.

851.722 -> And then, when it comes to uphills, this Ford Everest Sport can do the job.

855.384 -> Some others will say this just has the 4x2 drivetrain.

858.201 -> Yes, 4x2. But if you are the type of person that will use this car in the city on a daily basis,

866.166 -> for me, you should be fine with a 4x2 drivetrain.

870.173 -> If you occasionally go on out-of-town trips, you don't need a 4x4 drivetrain,

873.819 -> you can go with the 4x2.

875.877 -> Complement that with its exterior styling that maybe suits your taste, this is a deal.

881.494 -> Also, Senpai Stan, not because this is 4x2, this cannot be used on rough terrains anymore.

887.761 -> It still can. This vehicle can still deliver.

890.938 -> What you need to avoid as much as possible in a 4x2 is extreme off-roading.

896.02 -> In those conditions, you really need a 4x4.

898.02 -> But then, if you will only daily this in the city, then occasional rough terrains, 4x2 is already good.

905.226 -> Another thing, Senpai, like you said earlier, the ride quality improved.

910.505 -> - Yes. - Yes, I agree with that, totally.

912.72 -> Although, the platform of this Everest Sport or the next-gen Everest is still the T6 platform.

920.477 -> But that has been improved.

923.258 -> And the significant thing that you will feel, especially when you've driven the old generation... is the ride.

932.9 -> This new one is more stable, it is more planted on the road,

936.053 -> and it drives more confidently, this new Ford Everest.

946.565 -> This new Ford Everest.

949.88 -> So NVH is also good.

951.88 -> And when you are on the open highway, Senpai, your not-so-heavy nor not-so-light steering wheel

957.606 -> - works to your advantage. - Yes.

959.606 -> It is less hassle, less fatiguing, and you can control the vehicle better,

963.554 -> especially when you need to stay in the center of the lane.

966.82 -> And then, we'll just note, Senpai, since this is a mid-spec variant,

970.542 -> this gets standard cruise control. It doesn't have the adaptive cruise control

975.628 -> that you will see in the top-spec Titanium trim.

978.878 -> But, for me, that's not much of a problem. You can just make adjustments on the go.

983.986 -> And at least, this vehicle still has cruise control.

986.127 -> This 4x2 should be fine. You're not like Jericho Rosales or Paulo Avelino who do extreme off-roading.

991.932 -> Looks-wise, we're all the same... maybe I have a slight advantage.

995.308 -> But of course, for Stanley Chi, this 4x2 is fine,

998.862 -> especially if you'll use this for your commute to the office only, yes?

1003.663 -> - You're right, Senpai. - Don't go for the 4x4, especially if you can't pay the price.

1006.793 -> - [Stanley laughs] - Jericho Rosales?

1008.975 -> - We look quite the same. - Yeah, sure.

1013.633 -> So, Tito Martin, before we end the review, what does this Everest Sport have over the base variant?

1021.429 -> Good question, Senpai.

1023.429 -> The Ford Everest Sport has the following:

1025.776 -> bigger 20-inch wheels, a powered and hands-free tailgate, automatic day and night rearview mirror,

1032.08 -> dual-zone automatic climate control, additional 8-way powered seat for the passenger,

1038.205 -> additional USB port for the second row, and front sensors.

1042.421 -> Tito Martin, so the upgrades aren't for aesthetics only but functional as well?

1045.602 -> So for Php 290,000 more, do you think that the added features are worth it?

1052.779 -> Your questions catch me off guard, Senpai.

1055.725 -> Well, for me, the Ford Everest Sport is worth it if you're looking for a dechromed Everest.

1062.843 -> If you are not a fan of chrome trims, the Everest Sport is the way to go

1066.843 -> because the black accents give a good play to the entirety of the Everest's exterior,

1072.987 -> and then, the 4x2 capability, for me, is more than enough.

1079.137 -> Like I said earlier, if you will this on a daily in the city and on occasional out-of-town off-road trips,

1087.697 -> the Ford Everest Sport is a bang for your buck.

1089.337 -> Also, this is a standout as compared to the rest of the Everest line

1092.073 -> - because of the trims. - Well, the trims do look really good.

1094.869 -> For me, it is really good for Php 290,000 more.

1101.105 -> - I just wish that the cushioning in the third row... - Like what you said earlier?

1103.761 -> - is slightly thicker? - yes, just a bit.

1108.383 -> But overall, I like it for city driving, and occasional out-of-town trips. Very nice.

1114.403 -> Good, Senpai.

1116 -> And that's our review of the Ford Everest Sport.

1118.163 -> Yes, for a mid variant, this vehicle is already loaded and capable

1122 -> for city drives, daily driving, and occasional out-of-town trips.

1126.041 -> Also, add the improved ride quality and easy-to-drive characteristics to the mix.

1130.709 -> And the Ford Everest Sport will make you look no further.

1134.429 -> - 4x2? This is fine. 4x4? Don't go for it. - Senpai, easy.

1137.948 -> - Well, these people. - Relax, you're getting angry again.

1140.448 -> - Well, these viewers that don't subscribe. - Kindly hit the subscribe button.

1145.797 -> - I'm your host, Stanley Chi, your "Senpai ng Turbuhan." - Ohh, yes.

1148.318 -> And I'm Martin Aguilar, your "Kambyo Boy Next Door."

1150.405 -> Remember that our target before the end of the year is 400,000 subscribers.

1154.68 -> Don't wait for Holy Week next year.

1163.296 -> and my podcast, "Underpaid with Stanley Chi," on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

1168.592 -> So until we see each other in the next Philkotse video, bye-bye!

1174.074 -> Senpai, get in. I got you.

1176.074 -> - So you won't be hot-headed. Use the aircon. - Yes, dude, let's open it to the max.

1180.791 -> You'll sit at the back? Okay. - Of course, I sit here.

1182.792 -> - Right, he's a boss. - I'm a boss.

1184.899 -> Sure. Watch your head.

1188.181 -> [door thuds]

1188.836 -> Drive this thing. I don't want to drive.
