Exploring the Future: The All-New Electric Ford Explorer
The automotive landscape is changing, and Ford is at the forefront with the launch of the new fully electric Ford Explorer. This iconic model, now reimagined for the electric age, promises not only to uphold the legacy of the Explorer name but also to set the standard for sustainable family travel. With an impressive range of up to 602 kilometers on a single charge, the new Explorer caters to families looking to embark on adventures while maintaining environmental responsibility.
Manufactured in Germany, the Ford Explorer emerges as the second electric vehicle from the company, leading Ford’s charge towards an ambitious electrification strategy in Europe, aiming for a comprehensive electrified product lineup by 2035. "The Explorer is a pioneer and another example of innovative electric vehicles from Ford," says John Hurtig, CEO of Ford Sweden. This vehicle is designed with the customer's needs in mind, combining American heritage with European engineering excellence.
One of the most significant updates is a shift from a traditional grille to a sleek shield design that reflects its electric identity. But the modernization extends far beyond aesthetics. The Explorer provides ample storage, featuring 470 liters of trunk space and a practical passthrough hatch. Inside, the thoughtfully designed center console offers 17 liters of space for everything from laptops to snacks, ensuring a clutter-free cabin.
Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the Ford Explorer’s advanced features such as the innovative 14.6-inch SYNC Move touchscreen, which can slide by 30 degrees and hide a lockable secret compartment. The screen is complemented by a high-quality BO sound system with a soundbar and subwoofer, enhancing the driving experience.
Safety is paramount in the new Explorer, equipped with a comprehensive advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). Key features include Assisted Lane Change, which enables seamless lane shifts, and Clear Exit Assist that alerts drivers to cyclists in busy traffic. A suite of 12 ultrasonic sensors, complemented by five cameras and three radars provides a 360-degree view, promoting a safer driving experience.
Comfort is also a focal point, with standard features like a massage function for the driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, and keyless entry, making it an inviting environment for all passengers. Moreover, the Explorer is backed by an extensive warranty: five years for the vehicle and eight years covering the battery, offering peace of mind for long journeys.
Performance metrics reveal that the rear-wheel drive variant of the new Ford Explorer supports optimal performance with 210 kW (or 286 hp), while the all-wheel drive version delivers a substantial 250 kW (or 340 hp). With driving dynamics finely tuned for comfort and a quiet cabin, the new Explorer allows drivers to select from five different driving modes to tailor their experience.
Charging has been streamlined as well, with the Explorer capable of going from 10 to 80 percent charge in just 26 minutes under optimal conditions. The all-wheel drive option boasts a maximum charging capacity of 185 kW, ensuring you're back on the road with minimal downtime—perfect for family road trips and adventures.
The new Ford Explorer is not just a vehicle; it represents a significant step towards electric mobility, embodying Ford’s commitment to sustainability without compromising comfort or performance. With ample space, advanced technology, and impressive safety features, the new Explorer is ready to take families on unforgettable journeys.
