Ford Drops Ranger and Everest Bi‑Turbo Diesel in Australia
A revised single‑turbo four with a 10‑speed auto replaces it, with outputs and emissions details to be confirmed before first‑half‑2026 deliveries.
Overview
- The upgraded 2.0‑litre single‑turbo diesel gains a new fuel‑injection system, a timing chain and the bi‑turbo’s 10‑speed automatic, and will serve as the Everest’s entry engine for the first time.
- Ford will broaden availability of the 3.0‑litre V6 turbo‑diesel across more Ranger and Everest variants, with exact trims to be detailed closer to launch.
- Performance figures for the revised single‑turbo are unannounced; the current single‑turbo is rated at 125kW/405Nm versus 154kW/500Nm for the outgoing bi‑turbo.
- First deliveries of the updated line‑ups are expected in the first half of 2026, and Ford says the Ranger Raptor petrol V6 and the Ranger PHEV powertrains are unchanged.
- The powertrain reshuffle lands as Australia tightens NVES CO2 targets and moves to Euro 6d for new variants from December 2025.
