2025 Volkswagen Golf R review
The Volkswagen Golf R is more than just a fast hatchback; it's a trailblazing legacy that goes back decades. Black Edition Credit: CarExpert Since the first-generation Golf R32 debuted back in 2002, the R-badged Golf popularised a new class of compact performance car above that of its GTI hot hatch stablemate, challenging properly fast nameplates for straight-line pace. From the singing six-cylinder originals to the thumping turbocharged fours of more recent iterations, the flagship badge in the Golf lineup has become synonymous with being the consummate high-performance hatch, transcending traditional mainstream and premium segments in terms of both performance and all-round useability. The Golf R embodies this as much as ever in its latest Mk8.5 generation, with performance and technology that rivals vehicles from the Audi S, BMW M Performance and Mercedes-AMG stables at a much more attainable price point. It's hardly cheap at $70,000 before on-road costs, and it's now much closer in price to said premium performance alternatives these days, but it's decked out with all of the latest and greatest creature comforts the German auto giant has to offer, too. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert From later this year you'll also be able to deck out the Golf R with lightweight factory performance options for the first time on the regular variant – including an Akrapovic titanium exhaust, lightweight forged alloy wheels, and genuine carbon-fibre inlays. So is this still the benchmark hardcore hot hatch for performance enthusiasts? We joined the recent Australian media launch in New South Wales to find out… Base pricing for the updated Golf R has only risen by $400 compared to the last of the Mk8 generation, starting from $70,990 before on-road costs. The Black Edition adds another $1500. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert That's not all that far off the related Audi S3 (from $78,000) these days, and the latest BMW M135 xDrive (from $83,600) is also within reach. Less so is the Mercedes-AMG A35 (from $89,700), but you get the picture. From the mainstream brands, a Toyota GR Corolla (from $67,990) offers similar turbocharged all-wheel drive performance in an arguably less liveable rally-bred package, while the Honda Civic Type R ($74,100 D/A) is currently out of stock and channels similar grunt to only its front wheels – and is noticeably more track-focused. To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool We've covered the recent launches of the Mk8.5 Golf and Golf GTI, so there's not much new to report here. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Perhaps the biggest difference between them and the R is the fact it doesn't revert to physical multifunction switchgear on the steering wheel – the pesky haptic touch-sensitive buttons remain. They can still be a little fiddly at times, and during more spirited driving stints including on track, I managed to mis-press the heated steering wheel button, as well as the skip track button when cornering. Beyond that it's much the same as the rest of the upgraded Golf range; there are different trims and colours, with distinctive blue highlights scattered throughout the cabin, including on the fine Nappa leather seat upholstery, steering wheel accents or the flutters of blue throughout the in-car displays. The seats themselves are similar to those in the GTI and R-Line, save for the Nappa hide, and the steering wheel is the perforated leather-trimmed sports unit from the GTI with said blue accents and touch controls. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Metal mesh-effect trim accents line the dashboard and doors, and you can customise the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster with some unique R customisation like a racy line-bar tacho with shift lights. Later this year you'll be able to opt for genuine carbon-fibre trim accents as part of the Warmenau package. Centre stage is the new 12.9-inch 'Discover' touchscreen multimedia system, which is larger than the old display while also bringing the latest software interface already seen in the German brand's ID-branded electric models. You score the new IDA voice assistant in addition to the usual navigation, DAB+ digital radio and wireless smartphone mirroring, but the lack of factory connectivity means it isn't quite as intelligent as the internet- and AI-enabled version offered overseas. The wireless Apple CarPlay generally worked without fault when paired with my iPhone 16 Pro Max, though I have experienced the odd dropout when passing under one of Victoria's toll booths in other models with this system. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert While some of the subbed-in trimmings go a good way to making it feel more upmarket, there haven't been any wholesale changes like in the related Cupra Leon, for example, which will be applying new padded and leather-lined surfaces along the centre console for a more premium ambience. Previous gripes around the touch sliders for temperature and volume have been somewhat addressed with illumination, which helps with useability in low-light situations while also looking more sophisticated, while the hard toolbar at the base of the screen makes it easier to toggle HVAC functions as well as operate the heated front seats. The second row remains one of the most generous in the class, with more than enough room for two adults to sit behind two adults. Head, knee and leg room are all good for the segment, even behind a taller driver like 6'1″ me, though forward visibility past the chunky sports bucket seats might be a challenge for nausea-prone passengers. Niceties include a third zone of climate control with directional vents at the rear of the centre console. Further, the flock-lined door bins continue in the rear to stop bottles rattling around, and there's a fold-down centre armrest with cupholders. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert You also get the requisite ISOFIX child seat anchor points on the outboard seats, and top-tethers across all three. Additionally, there's a handy ski port – quite European – in case you're needing to stow longer items through from the boot. Speaking of, there's a decent 341 litres of cargo capacity with the rear seats in play, expanding to 1197 litres with them folded. There's an adjustable boot floor to make a load area flat if needed, and the space-saver spare of other Golf variants has been swapped out for a tyre mobility kit. To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool The new Golf R gets the same 'EA888' 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, but compared to the old Australian-spec model it now makes 245kW of power (+10kW) and 420Nm of torque (+20Nm). 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert This aligns our latest Golf R with European specifications, after the previous model was down 20Nm on the global version due to a lack of a petrol particulate filter (PPF). The new model picks up the exhaust filtration system like the European model and therefore gets the full-fat tune. It's also worth noting the new R is now compatible with 95 RON premium unleaded, rather than being restricted to 98-octane fuel like the old car. Further, Volkswagen's 0-100km/h acceleration claim of 4.6 seconds is down 0.2 seconds on the previous model, while the standard R Performance Package fitted to the Australian specification means the Golf R is capable of hitting a top speed of 270km/h. Our observed indicated fuel economy of 10.4-10.7L/100km was achieved on day one of the launch with a mix of B-roads and country highways, including spirited stints. On the following day after a 71km transit leg from the Blue Mountains to Sydney Motorsport Park on mostly highway and freeway, we saw a far more impressive 5.8L/100km. To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool Let's get to the fun part, shall we? Black Edition Credit: CarExpert Our drive of the new Golf R and Golf R Black Edition started in Orange, NSW, taking us through the high country to the Blue Mountains for an overnight stay, then to SMP in western Sydney the following morning. Day one was very wet and gloomy, which made for a good test of the Golf R's 4Motion AWD traction on the high-speed roads on our lengthy drive route. As you'd expect, the fast little Volksie was nothing short of excellent. Driving through what can only be described as a torrential downpour for much of the day, the Golf R was unflappable in the wet, even on winding country B-roads with mixed road surface quality accompanied by signed speed limits generally in the realm of 80-100km/h. Even in tighter bends there was little to no understeer or scrabbling for traction when pushed – within reasonable limits given the conditions, of course – giving you the confidence to still drive with intent without feeling like you were anywhere near the limit. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert We had a few hours behind the wheel of the Golf R Black Edition on day one, providing plenty of time to test out the different modes. Personally, I chose to cycle between Special (Nurburgring) and Comfort during the extended route. Special is basically Race with the chassis softened off a touch to suit the lumpy-bumpy Nordschleife, and in reality a lot of Australia's spaghetti-like regional roads suit this exact mode given there's a layer of added compliance needed to iron out some sharper hits and high-frequency imperfections to avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle. In this mode the drivetrain is also put into S+, which basically dials up everything to 11. It revs right out to the redline in each gear and downshifts early with plenty of aural theatre – helped by the augmented engine sound via the speakers – and if you flick it into the manual M+ mode the Golf R will refuse to shift even if you hit the limiter. The new turbocharger preload system works its magic in this mode, maintaining boost for better response. You basically get no turbo lag, and it almost feels naturally aspirated in the way it responds so quickly and revs out so linearly. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Adaptive chassis tech and variable-ratio steering mean you can dial up the feel and firmness when you want it for spirited stints, and then dial it back when you're tootling around the 'burbs or cruising on the highway. As its predecessors have done for generations, the Golf R remains a superb all-rounder. As with the GTI, I found that the steering weight felt a tad artificial and not as communicative as something like a Civic Type R, but it has a nicely fluid and accurate rack that suits the Jekyll and Hyde personalities of the Golf R quite well. I'd just like a bit more of a natural and weighted feel. I didn't find the engine's soundtrack to be overly contrived or artificial like the old Mk7's, and in its most aggressive mode the Golf R has an aggressive, high-pitched and raspy tone that sounds a little like the free-revving Mercedes-AMG 2.0-litre turbo four. You get subtle cracks or 'farts' on upshifts, a nice burbly idle, and a bit of overrun when you lift off the throttle between 3000 and 5000rpm. It certainly sounds purposeful, and is a little more raucous than the Audi S3 which shares the same drivetrain and much of the running gear underneath. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert At SMP we got to trial Drift mode on the skid pan before taking both the R and Black Edition out for some instructed laps on the long circuit. It's fascinating how much the different modes change the car's vibe. You can genuinely hold slides quite easily with the throttle (in a controlled environment when conditions permit), yet the Golf R also remains a sharp corner-carver on the racetrack. We started in Comfort mode and gradually worked or way up to Race and Special, really getting a good feel for the Golf R's circuit capabilities. The mix of sweeping bends and hairpins was a good test for the 4Motion AWD system as well as the brakes, and there was minimal fade from the latter after successive laps. There's good response from all driver controls at the limit, and it took a lot to induce any understeer – if anything ,the rear differential does a great job of sending torque to the outside rear wheel the bring the bum around. Volkswagen R's development driver, Benjamin 'Benny' Leuchter, even took us for a couple of hot laps at what felt like 10/10ths, included a lap in both the Special and Drift modes. As you can imagine, it was the latter that really generated the widest eyes and loudest gasps from all three journalists onboard… Mr Leuchter confirmed the Golf R Black Edition lapped the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife in seven minutes and 47 seconds, which is around three seconds off the Civic Type R's pace but quicker than the Mercedes-AMG A45 S. Not bad. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Rounding out the on-road assessment, we did find there was a bit of tyre roar finding its way into the cabin from the 235/35 Bridgestone Potenza tyres, but that's not unusual for this type of car. The R's driver assistance suite is also excellent, as you'd expect. Travel Assist remains one of the benchmark semi-autonomous functions, and the standard Area View surround camera means you shouldn't have an excuse for gutter-rashed rims – though the quality of the camera feed could be better. Also standard are helpful features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic assist, which supplement the Golf's already very good outward visibility. The former also brakes to avoid collisions in reverse. Speaking of parking, the R features Park Assist Plus, which adds automated assistance for the accelerator, brake and gear selection over the standard Park Assist in lower Golfs, which only controls steering to help guide you into both parallel and perpendicular parking bays. To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool The standard R is bolstered by the Black Edition, which is limited to 300 units in Australia. Volkswagen's local arm says around half of our market's Black Edition allocation is already spoken for. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert 2025 Volkswagen Golf R equipment highlights: Digital Cockpit Pro – 10.25-inch instrument cluster 12.9-inch Discover touchscreen navigation system IDA voice assistance DAB+ radio Wireless App-Connect Keyless access Alarm system Premium metallic paint 19-inch Estoril alloy wheels Adaptive Chassis Control – DCC Nappa leather-appointed upholstery Electric driver seat incl. memory function Heated, ventilated front seat Harman Kardon 480W premium audio 3-zone climate control Head-up display Rear privacy glass Matrix LED headlights Dynamic Light Assist – adaptive high beam Premium LED tail lights – 3D effect 30-colour ambient interior lighting R exterior, interior design package Area View – surround cameras Park Assist Plus Golf R Black Edition adds: Darkened VW logos – front, rear Darkened R logos – front, rear 19-inch Warmenau forged alloy wheels – Black Darkened R logos – wheel centre caps Radiator grille with black strip Exterior mirrors in black Black brake calipers Black exhaust tail pipes To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool The Golf R will be available with an optional Warmenau Package for model year 2026 and it's available to order now, while both the MY25 Golf R and Black Edition are both available with a panoramic sunroof. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Warmenau Package: $6500 (MY26 R only) Akrapovic titanium exhaust system 19-inch Warmenau alloy wheels Genuine carbon interior decor Single-item options: To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool The Volkswagen Golf has a five-star ANCAP safety rating based on 2019 Euro NCAP testing. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Standard safety equipment includes: 9 airbags incl. front-centre airbag Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) Adaptive cruise control with stop/go Blind-spot monitoring Cross-traffic alert – front, rear Driver fatigue monitoring Emergency Assist Multi-collision brake Lane Assist Park Assist Parking sensors – front, rear Reversing camera Safe exit warning Travel Assist Golf GTI adds: Golf R adds: Area View – surround cameras Dynamic Light Assist To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool The Golf R, like the wider Golf range, is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty in Australia 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert To see how the Volkswagen Golf lines up against the competition, check out our comparison tool Put simply, this is an R-mazing little car. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Volkswagen has been polishing away at the Golf R formula for over two decades and it shows. Perhaps other than the related Audi S3, no other vehicle at this size or price point offers the same kind of all-round capability and useability. It's feels at home both in the city and on the racetrack, and while it's not necessarily the quickest or fastest hot hatch on sale, it arguably strikes the best balance. The level of adjustability in the chassis and drivetrain allows you to finetune it to just about any driving situation, and of course it's a Golf so the fundamentals are generally excellent anyway. It also is packed with just about everything the latest Golf portfolio has to offer, much of which isn't available in lower grades in Australia. Gripes? The fiddly steering wheel controls can get annoying when driving hard, and $70,000 is a lot of money for a Golf, even one as fast and as capable as this. Indeed it's not all that much cheaper than an Audi S3 with the same running gear. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert It's also a shame the Golf R Wagon remains off the menu for Australians. The more practical body had a cult, if niche, following Down Under, and offered a point of difference alongside all of its peers at this end of the market. Volkswagen Group subsidiary Cupra will fill the gap somewhat later this year with the Leon Sportstourer, though I imagine many would still prefer a Golf. All told though, the updated Mk8.5 Golf R is a fine compact performance car. It's the Swiss army knife of hot hatches, perhaps even more so these days than the also excellent new Golf GTI. It's as hardcore and racy as ever, without skimping on the creature comforts and daily driveability the nameplate is lauded for. The Black Edition in Grenadilla Black looks pretty mean, though I'd personally be holding out for an MY26 Lapiz Blue example with the optional Warmenau package. 2025 Volkswagen Golf R Credit: CarExpert Interested in buying a Volkswagen Golf?

New Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 Black Editions turn family SUVs to the dark side
Volkswagen is introducing new Black Edition versions of its all-electric ID.4 family SUV and ID.5 coupe-SUV. They will be available to order from 29 May, with prices starting from £46,180 and £47,680, respectively. The Black Edition model will sit above Match trim in both model's line-ups, and injects a little more more style into the electric SUVs with a set of 19-inch Onyx black alloy wheels and a panoramic glass sunroof, while the side mirrors, roof, C-pillar and badging on the bootlid are black. Meanwhile the interior benefits from Volkswagen's 'Top-Sport Plus' pack, which includes sport front seats with integrated head restraints, adjustable lumbar support and massage function, wrapped in suede upholstery. Advertisement - Article continues below Perhaps the best part is that Volkswagen claims Black Edition trim provides up to £4,625 worth of extra kit and options, but for a relatively small price rise of around £1,800 over the existing Match versions. Among the standard equipment are a 12.9-inch central touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, matrix LED headlights, wireless smartphone charging pad, keyless entry, a powered tailgate, 30-colour ambient lighting and plenty of driver-assistance tech, including adaptive cruise control. Every ID.4 and ID.5 Black Edition is powered by a 77kWh battery that provides up to 336 miles of range in the SUV, or 341 miles in the more aerodynamic coupe. Both also produce 282bhp, which is sufficient for 0-62mph in under seven seconds, while a 10 to 80 per cent top-up will take about half an hour from most DC rapid chargers. However, while the ID.5 Black Edition is only going to be available with a single motor and rear-wheel drive, the ID.4 Black Edition will be offered with the option of a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive '4Motion' set-up for an extra £1,720. There's no extra power, with the additional motor used instead to provide better traction in slippery conditions. Range is reduced to 322 miles, though.

2025 Ford Everest Black Edition to bolster Blue Oval's battle with Toyota Prado
Ford Australia has announced a new limited edition 'blackops' version of its popular Ranger ute-based Everest off-roader, to help defend the large SUV sales crown it stole from the Toyota Prado for the first time last year. Based on the second-rung-up Everest Trend 2.0L Bi-Turbo 4WD, the new Black Edition adds a range of blacked-out aesthetic upgrades for $68,990 before on-road costs – $1950 more than Trend's price of $67,040 plus on-roads. However, the Black Edition is being introduced with a drive-away price of $69,000, which is just $10 higher than its list price (excluding statutory on-road costs). That makes it significantly cheaper than the Trend on which it's based. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Exclusive extras include black roof rails, black side steps, black 18-inch alloy wheels with 255/65R18 all-terrain tyres, a black 18-inch spare alloy wheel, black front grille, black 'EVEREST' bonnet lettering, black 'EVEREST' interior door sill plates, black side mirrors and black door handles. Limited to "an initial production run of 750 vehicles", the Everest Black Edition is now available to order nationwide, ahead of first deliveries starting in July. At $69k drive-away, the latest seven-seat 4×4 version of the Everest, which continues to be priced from $54,240 plus on-roads for the entry-level Ambiente 2.0L Bi-Turbo RWD, now brings to four the number of variants that undercut the Prado (from $72,500). Despite its addition, however, the number of Everest grades available will shrink from eight to six after production of RWD versions of the base Ambiente and mid-range Sport ends this month due to the federal government's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). At that point the Everest admission price will increase by $5000 to $59,240 plus on-roads for the Ambiente 2.0L Bi-Turbo 4WD, while production of the latest limited edition Everest Wildtrak ended in April. Ford is yet to advise whether it will offer another Everest Wilkdtrak limited edition, but says it has plenty of dealer stock available across the latest 2025.50MY Everest range, including the Ambiente, Trend, Sport, Tremor, Wildtrak and Platinum. "Everest Black Edition is a bold response to the ever-evolving market – a fresh and distinctive take on one of Australia's favourite 4WD SUVs," said Ford Australia marketing director Ambrose Henderson. "Packed with family-favourite features and full-time 4WD, Everest Black Edition builds on the proven strengths of the Everest, adding a distinctive blacked-out appearance that underscores the suite of interior and advanced driver-assist features that has made the Everest the pick of the segment."The Black Edition is the seventh variant of the Everest family – giving motorists more choice to suit their needs – and with a $69,000 drive-away price, it delivers outstanding value for Australians who demand more from their SUV." The Black Edition will only be available in three achromatic exterior colours, all of them for no extra cost: Aluminium Metallic prestige paint, Shadow Black prestige paint, and an exclusive new Alabaster White pearlescent paint. However, three option packages are on offer, including a Premium Seat Pack ($1200), Towing Pack ($1950) and Touring Pack ($2900). In addition to the standard leather-accented trim (not for the third row), the Premium Seat Pack brings heated and ventilated front seats, the driver's with 10-way power adjustment and a memory function, and the passenger's with eight-way power adjustment. Naturally, the tow pack adds a tow bar and hitch, plus an integrated electric trailer brake controller and 12-pin wiring harness to take advantage of the Everest's 3500kg towing capacity. And the Touring Pack combines the towing hardware of the Towing Pack with a 360-degree camera and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which offers steering control for reversing trailers via a rotary dial. The Black Edition is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine delivering 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4×4 system with selectable 2H, 4A, 4H and 4L modes. There's a locking rear differential and selectable drive modes including Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts and Sand, plus an 800mm wading depth and 229mm of ground clearance. Carryover safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control with stop/go, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, lane centring, rear cross-traffic alert, and traffic sign recognition, as well as a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors. Other standard features include a 12.0-inch touchscreen running Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system and featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, FordPass Connect embedded modem, and inbuilt satellite navigation with one year of connected navigation services included. Other standard equipment includes an eight-speaker sound system, configurable 8.0-inch colour digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, five USB ports, three 12V outlets, a 240V/400W household power socket, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry/start, automatic LED headlights, automatic high-beam and zone lighting. All Everests are backed by Ford Australia's five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and 180-strong national dealer network. After outselling the evergreen Prado in 2024, when Toyota was low on stock before the latest 250 Series arrived in November, the second-generation Everest (released in late 2022) also proved more popular last month when it attracted one more customer. However it remains well behind the Prado this year, with 7220 sales to the end of April versus 10,674 for the Prado. Neither Ford nor Toyota have yet offered end of financial year deals for the Everest or Prado.

However, the Black Edition is being introduced with a drive-away price of $69,000, which is just $10 higher than its list price (excluding statutory on-road costs). That makes it significantly cheaper than the Trend on which it's based. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal.

Limited to "an initial production run of 750 vehicles", the Everest Black Edition is now available to order nationwide, ahead of first deliveries starting in July. At $69k drive-away, the latest seven-seat 4×4 version of the Everest, which continues to be priced from $54,240 plus on-roads for the entry-level Ambiente 2.0L Bi-Turbo RWD, now brings to four the number of variants that undercut the Prado (from $72,500). Despite its addition, however, the number of Everest grades available will shrink from eight to six after production of RWD versions of the base Ambiente and mid-range Sport ends this month due to the federal government's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). At that point the Everest admission price will increase by $5000 to $59,240 plus on-roads for the Ambiente 2.0L Bi-Turbo 4WD, while production of the latest limited edition Everest Wildtrak ended in April. Ford is yet to advise whether it will offer another Everest Wilkdtrak limited edition, but says it has plenty of dealer stock available across the latest 2025.50MY Everest range, including the Ambiente, Trend, Sport, Tremor, Wildtrak and Platinum. "Everest Black Edition is a bold response to the ever-evolving market – a fresh and distinctive take on one of Australia's favourite 4WD SUVs," said Ford Australia marketing director Ambrose Henderson. "Packed with family-favourite features and full-time 4WD, Everest Black Edition builds on the proven strengths of the Everest, adding a distinctive blacked-out appearance that underscores the suite of interior and advanced driver-assist features that has made the Everest the pick of the segment."The Black Edition is the seventh variant of the Everest family – giving motorists more choice to suit their needs – and with a $69,000 drive-away price, it delivers outstanding value for Australians who demand more from their SUV." The Black Edition will only be available in three achromatic exterior colours, all of them for no extra cost: Aluminium Metallic prestige paint, Shadow Black prestige paint, and an exclusive new Alabaster White pearlescent paint. However, three option packages are on offer, including a Premium Seat Pack ($1200), Towing Pack ($1950) and Touring Pack ($2900). In addition to the standard leather-accented trim (not for the third row), the Premium Seat Pack brings heated and ventilated front seats, the driver's with 10-way power adjustment and a memory function, and the passenger's with eight-way power adjustment. Naturally, the tow pack adds a tow bar and hitch, plus an integrated electric trailer brake controller and 12-pin wiring harness to take advantage of the Everest's 3500kg towing capacity. And the Touring Pack combines the towing hardware of the Towing Pack with a 360-degree camera and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which offers steering control for reversing trailers via a rotary dial. The Black Edition is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine delivering 154kW of power and 500Nm of torque to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4×4 system with selectable 2H, 4A, 4H and 4L modes. There's a locking rear differential and selectable drive modes including Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts and Sand, plus an 800mm wading depth and 229mm of ground clearance. Carryover safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control with stop/go, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, lane centring, rear cross-traffic alert, and traffic sign recognition, as well as a reversing camera and front and rear parking sensors. Other standard features include a 12.0-inch touchscreen running Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system and featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice control, FordPass Connect embedded modem, and inbuilt satellite navigation with one year of connected navigation services included. Other standard equipment includes an eight-speaker sound system, configurable 8.0-inch colour digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, five USB ports, three 12V outlets, a 240V/400W household power socket, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry/start, automatic LED headlights, automatic high-beam and zone lighting. All Everests are backed by Ford Australia's five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and 180-strong national dealer network. After outselling the evergreen Prado in 2024, when Toyota was low on stock before the latest 250 Series arrived in November, the second-generation Everest (released in late 2022) also proved more popular last month when it attracted one more customer. However it remains well behind the Prado this year, with 7220 sales to the end of April versus 10,674 for the Prado. Neither Ford nor Toyota have yet offered end of financial year deals for the Everest or Prado.
