Introducing the All-Electric Ford Explorer: A New Era of Adventure
The automotive world is witnessing a transformation, with iconic brands like Ford taking substantial steps toward an electric future. The unveiling of the new all-electric Ford Explorer is a testament to this shift, combining legendary adventure with advanced technology and sustainable driving.
Built in Germany, the Ford Explorer marks Ford's second foray into the electric vehicle (EV) market and is the first to be produced at the company’s new electrification center in Cologne. This revolutionary SUV is set to lead Ford's electrification efforts in Europe, aiming for a complete electrified product lineup by 2035. The Explorer retains the rugged charm of its predecessor, but with key adaptations for an electric era, including a front shield replacing the traditional grille.
According to John Hurtig, CEO of Ford Sweden, "Explorer is a trailblazer and another example of innovative electric vehicles from Ford infused with our American heritage, but built in Cologne for our customers in Europe. It is ready for big adventures and packed with everything our customers need for their journeys."
Long Range and Fast Charging
The rear-wheel drive variant of the new Explorer boasts an impressive range of 602 kilometers (approximately 373 miles) on a single charge, based on WLTP testing standards. Additionally, the vehicle can be fastcharged from 10 to 80 percent in just 26 minutes, ensuring that long journeys remain practical and convenient.
Spacious and Practical Interior
The Ford Explorer prioritizes space, offering a trunk capacity of 470 liters along with a practical passthrough hatch. The center console is notably generous, providing 17 liters of storage space, making it easy to accommodate everything from laptops to snacks for family trips. This thoughtful approach to design ensures that both driver and passenger comfort is considered.
Cutting-Edge Technology
One of the standout features of the new Ford Explorer is its 14.6-inch SYNC Move touchscreen, which can be adjusted by 30 degrees and conceals a secure compartment that locks automatically when you exit the vehicle. This advanced onboard system includes a premium BO sound system, ensuring an enjoyable driving experience.
Moreover, the enhanced driver assistance system offers a safety net for drivers, including features like Assisted Lane Change and Clear Exit Assist, which keeps an eye out for cyclists and pedestrians in traffic. The car's security system utilizes 12 ultrasonic sensors, five cameras, and three radars to provide a comprehensive 360-degree visualization for a safer driving experience.
Comfort for Everyone
In addition to safety, the new Ford Explorer is designed for comfort, featuring a standard driver’s seat massage function, keyless entry, heated sports seats, and dual-zone climate control. This SUV is built to ensure that every journey is as comfortable as possible.
Warranty and Peace of Mind
Purchasing the Ford Explorer also comes with peace of mind courtesy of its extensive warranty offers: a five-year warranty, an eight-year battery warranty, and one year of complimentary roadside assistance. This focus on customer satisfaction underscores Ford's commitment to building trust and loyalty amongst its consumers.
Performance Specifications
In terms of power, the rear-wheel drive Explorer delivers 210 kW (286 horsepower), while the all-wheel drive variant packs 250 kW (340 horsepower). The SUV's design features well-balanced driving dynamics, ensuring a stable ride, alongside five driving modes to suit personal preferences and conditions.
