Overview
The Next Gen Ford Everest is the newest seven-seat SUV in the Pattaya Rent a Car fleet, and the most refined to drive. It seats seven, runs a modern 2.0 turbo diesel paired to an automatic gearbox, and delivers the quietest, most composed motorway experience of any vehicle in the class. For renters who want the latest technology, the most car-like feel in a seven-seater, and long hours at highway speeds without fatigue, the Everest is the standout choice. Every rental includes first-class Viriyah Insurance and free delivery within 10 km of our office.
Who Should Rent the Ford Everest
The Everest suits renters who want the best available in a seven-seat diesel SUV and are prepared to pay for it. Specifically: families spending several hours on the motorway to Bangkok or beyond who want a hushed, comfortable cabin; business travellers or groups where the driving experience is part of the trip, not just the means to an end; anyone who values modern in-car technology — the Everest's infotainment, driver-assist features, and interior finish are notably more current than the Fortuner models; and long-stay residents who want a weekly or monthly rental that doesn't feel like a compromise.
If cabin refinement and motorway quietness matter most, the Everest is the correct choice in this fleet. If you need the rough-road grunt of a larger diesel engine and don't mind an older interior, the Toyota Fortuner Old Model covers that ground for less.
Driving the Ford Everest in Pattaya and Beyond
In Pattaya's city traffic, the Everest drives with surprising ease for a vehicle of its size. The modern 2.0 turbo diesel is responsive from low revs, and the automatic gearbox is smooth and unhurried in stop-start conditions. Its footprint is similar to the Fortuner so parking at Terminal 21, Central Festival, and the beach-area carparks is the same straightforward experience.
Where the Everest earns its place is on the open road. The Bangkok Motorway run at 120 km/h is noticeably quieter in the Everest than in either Fortuner — the cabin insulation and chassis tuning of the newer platform make a real difference over a 90-minute highway drive. For families doing the Pattaya–Bangkok–Pattaya run in a day, or groups heading north to Khao Yai (around 200 km) or south through Rayong to Koh Samet, the Everest is the least tiring vehicle in the fleet over those distances.
Off paved roads, the Everest handles gravel tracks and the occasional rough approach to rural beaches without drama — the ground clearance is adequate for the kind of off-tarmac driving that comes up in this part of Thailand. It's not a purpose-built off-roader, but it won't struggle on the routes that matter in the Pattaya area.
Specifications
Seats: 7 (three rows) | Engine: 2.0 turbo diesel | Transmission: Automatic | Fuel: Diesel | Class: SUV
The 2.0 turbo diesel is a modern, efficient unit — fuel economy is better than the older 3.0 in the Toyota Fortuner Old Model, and it maintains strong performance across the rev range without the old engine's diesel rattle. On a long highway run with a full complement of passengers and luggage, it doesn't feel strained.
Features
The Next Gen Everest brings the most current feature set in the fleet. Expect a large infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, advanced driver-assist systems (lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control on highway trims), a reverse camera, and a premium interior finish that sets it apart from the older Fortuner in everyday use. The third row is usable for adults over shorter distances and comfortable for children on longer trips.

How does the Everest compare to the Toyota Fortuner?
The Everest is newer, quieter on the motorway, and more feature-rich than either Fortuner. The New Fortuner is also a strong choice for families; the Old Fortuner's 3.0 diesel has more raw torque for rough-road or towing work but an older cabin. For highway comfort and technology, the Everest leads the class.
