Video Summary
-The Ford Explorer is considered one of the most important new eras of recent decades.- The Ford Explorer is built on the Volkswagen MEB platform, and has similar batteries to the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.3.
- Prices start from just under £40,000 for the 52 kWh battery model, which has a range of 239 miles.
- The 77 kWh extended range battery has a range of up to 374 miles, and prices for that start at £46,000.
- A four-wheel drive high-performance version with a 79 kWh battery gets a range of 329 miles.
- Charging speeds on the extended range models go up to 185 kW, which means a 10 to 85% charge in 26 minutes.
- There is plenty of space in the rear seats with good legroom.
- Equipment is great, with keyless entry, 12-way electric seat adjustment and massage function, heated seats, and a 14.6-inch touchscreen system.
- The touchscreen is fine in terms of graphics, but it is annoying to use.
- There is a bit of wind noise over the panoramic roof at motorway speeds.
- The best thing is the steering, with plenty of feedback.
- The car feels confident and very intuitive.
- The way the car drives is what would make people want to buy the car.
- The ride comfort is decent, but there is a firm ride around town on the 20-inch wheels.
- The 3 year, 60,000-mile warranty is nothing special.
