MUSCAT: Time-outs or weekend adventures, the Ford Explorer is one of the few fully capable vehicles built to take families further on every journey.
Available with plenty of features the Ford Explorer has a lot to offer. Its outstanding quietness and quality cabin trimmings elevate this practical do-all crossover to the front of the segment.
A household name among American car buyers, the Ford Explorer has evolved from its longago roots as a body-on-frame SUV into the comprehensively modern three-row 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 has 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 – provid- ing 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.
