Completing the package, a rugged exterior design includes a distinctive honeycomb grille design with auxiliary LED lamps, a steel bash plate, heavy-duty side steps, and signature Tremor badging.
The Everest Tremor continues to offer a 3,500kg maximum braked towing capacity alongside a premium interior with Tremor-embossed leather accented seats, ebony-coloured interior accents, and all-weather floor mats to provide a comfortable and stylish cabin. Everest Tremor will be available in the exclusive Command Grey exterior colour along with Meteor Grey, Arctic White and Absolute Black. Available from June 2025.
