There are a few American motor companies that have gained popularity as much as the Ford Motor Company, or more commonly known as only Ford. This multinational auto manufacturing company is headquartered in Michigan, Detroit. Founded in the early 1900s by Henry Ford, the company has today become a giant when it comes to automobiles.

 

With many subsidiaries and child companies that you must have heard about, Ford has its web of operations spread throughout the World. You must have heard about the famous Lincoln brand, known for its luxury vehicles. Or the Aston Martin in the United Kingdom. Both have stakes that belong to Ford. Not only that, but there are also multiple automobile companies in China, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Russia in which Ford has invested.

 

With such a rich history and background, and operations that span several continents, it does not come as a surprise when you look at how popular and well-liked vehicles that the company is known to produce over the years. Indeed, if you are looking for the best 7-seater cars for your family, Ford has the answer for you: The Ford Everest 4x4 SUV.
 

The Ford Everest is a Sports Utility Vehicle and can be argued as being of the best 7-seater cars that you can buy. Ford Motor Company has been manufacturing this vehicle since 2003. To date, there have been three generations that have been introduced to the market. This five-door SUV may also be looked at as being a variant of the Ford Ranger.

 

The main difference between the two SUVs is that the Everest is a five-door SUV while the Ranger is a four-door variant. The Ford Everest Trend and the Ford Everest Titanium received some additional features just a couple of years ago, belonging to the third generation. While the Everest Ambiente comes loaded with some extra features, which are described in the further sections. We break down the three generations of the vehicle until the latest models that you see on the road nowadays, i.e. Ford Everest 2019 and 2020 models.

 

First Generation:

This was the first generation and was produced in 2003. This model was loosely based on the Ford Ranger and was discontinued in 2006.

 

Second Generation:

The second generation of Ford Ranger that came out got the first facelift in 2009 and another one after two years. This generation was discontinued in 2015, after nine years of being produced.

 

Third Generation:

This is the model that is being continued to this day. This generation was designed in Australia and manufactured in Thailand and got a facelift in 2018.

The most notable of the features are the seven airbags that are mounted throughout the vehicle, to ensure that the driver, as well as all the passengers, stay safe and sound in case of any unpleasant incident. 

 

Active Noise Cancellation:

A bit of complicated science is used to actively cancel out any engine and outside noise. It involves several microphones to detect the noise from the engine and then cancel that out with sound waves of opposite nature. You can be sure to be completely relaxed and have peace inside the Ford Everest.

 

Seven-Seater:

The same goes for when you wish to go uphill; just use the feature and sit back while the science takes over.
