Dealers now require customers to pay an additional 20-100 million, depending on version, if they want to receive their car immediately.
Ford dealers will start delivering the first new Everest units in August. Depending on version, the specific prices are as follows:
| Version | Retail price | Difference |
| Ambient | 1,099 | 0 |
| Sport | 1,166 | 20 |
| Titanium 4×2 | 1,245 | 40-60 |
| Titanium 4×4 | 1,452 | 80-100 |
(Unit: million VND)
Only version Ambient has no price difference, the rest are all raised. In return for customers paying more to receive their car right away, the dealer will equip the car with three main accessories including glass stickers, floor coverings, and dash cams. Particularly, the highest version of Titanium 4×4 with a difference of 100 million will offer an additional year of body insurance.
According to dealers, this difference may fluctuate depending on the number of orders as well as the number of units allocated. Rejecting the additional amount to pay, customers will have to wait 2-4 months for the vehicle to be delivered.
It is expected that the number of cars allocated in August at each dealer is scarce, about 10-20 units. The two Titanium versions are more sought-after, so the difference is higher. In addition to the White color options, which costs 7 million VND extra, customers can choose chestnut, white, red orange interior colors for an extra 7 million VND.
Dealers believe that Everest having price inflation is difficult to avoid, because the car has many interested customers, many contracts are signed, while the number of cars is initially small.
The new Everest has completely changed its design with a modern look without losing its aggressiveness and strength. The car is also equipped with many more technologies, although the powertrain is still a bi-turbo 2.0 diesel engine on the highest version, the remaining versions are single turbo.
The price of Everest without being inflated is equivalent to rivals like Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport. Everest has many advantages, but supply will be a big problem, because it can affect the selling price.
Currently in the 7-seater SUV/crossover segment of size D, in addition to Everest, there is also Hyundai Santa Fe suffering a difference of 40-100 million VND due to lack of stock.
