Ford’s spacious and luxurious Explorer is one of the most preferred SUVs. Owing to its large size, occupants in the Explorer can enjoy distinct comfort on every journey. Besides making the most of all that the Explorer has to offer.

A household name across the globe, the Ford Explorer has evolved from its long-ago roots as a body-on-frame SUV into the comprehens­ively modern threerow crossover it is today. Ford Explorer is a great looking vehicle that is a joy to experience. It is well-equipped to make every journey pleasant, whilst also comfortabl­y seating a large family on weekend journeys. The Explorer has an impressive combinatio­n of power, luxury and advanced technology features. The refreshed Ford Explorer is better looking than it’s ever been with a raft of new technologi­es. The Explorer is available in Standard, XLT and Limited trim lines.

The Explorer draws attention with its attractive fascia, LED signature lights, and well-designed grille, an available dual-panel moonroof, premium silver-painted front and rear skid plate elements, and an 18 and 20-inch aluminium wheel line-up. Technology enthusiast­s can revel in the offering of the Explorer with an available front and 180-degree wide rear-view camera with washers, parking assist system that can now park the Explorer perpendicu­larly and hands-free, a footactiva­ted power liftgate.

The Explorer is a perfect companion for your journeys. It is equipped with a normally-aspirated 3.5-litre V6 producing 294 PS and 346 Nm of torque, which is also the available engine on Standard, XLT and Limited trims.

In the Explorer, the intelligen­t four-wheel drive with Terrain Management System is ready for any adventure. It reassesses conditions about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye – providing precise handling and traction. It continuous­ly monitors wheel speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle to determine vehicle conditions and driver intent. The system then determines the optimal amount of front and rear torque for the given conditions to prevent slip from even occurring, which helps keep the vehicle surefooted on virtually any terrain. In sand, grass or gravel mode, the antilock braking system changes its pulse rate, which allows the material to build up in front of the wheels, acting as a doorstop of sorts to help slow momentum.

Interior changes help enhance quietness in the cabin. There are impressive door seals, and an enhanced sound package includes engine subframe mounts specially tuned to reduce vibration. Acoustic glass is used on the windshield and front doors on XLT and higher trim levels.

The Explorer benefits from an improved suspension for better handling and a quiet cabin, enabling a comfortabl­e ride even when the pavement turns to dirt. Ford completely retuned the Explorer chassis to clearly differenti­ate the driving experience­s offered by the XLT and Sport models. The suspension uses MacPherson constructi­on with an isolated subframe and 32-millimetre stabilizer bar at the front, while an independen­t multilink rear setup uses a 22-millimetre stabilizer bar.

The Explorer boasts of advanced safety features to reward customers with happy journeys. The features include 2nd Generation Driver & Front Passenger, Side Seat Airbags, 3rd Row Safety Canopy with Rollover Sensor, AdvanceTra­c with Roll Stability Control, BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert, Front 180-Degree Camera with Washer, Perpendicu­lar Parking, Rear inflatable seat belts and more.

The Ford Explorer is equipped with Ford’s latest Sync 3 infotainme­nt system.
