According to the plan, in June 2024, Ford will start mass production of the Explorer electric vehicles (EV). The first vehicles are expected to be delivered to customers around August.
Since March 2023, Ford has introduced the electric SUV model Explorer. This is also the first model of the American automaker to use the MEB architecture of the Volkswagen Group, as part of the collaboration between Ford and VW.
The Ford Explorer EV will be available in two versions: the Explorer and the Explorer Premium. However, the American automaker has not yet revealed the specific technical specifications of the vehicle.
In terms of design, the Ford Explorer EV looks more solid than the ID.4, with more straight lines, a square body, and a more muscular and powerful shape.
The prominent design details on the electric SUV include a closed grille like a “shield”, daytime running lights interspersed with the word “Explorer” surrounding the grille, a U-shaped protective plate, and vertical taillights reminiscent of a regular Explorer model.
As for the interior, the Ford Explorer EV cabin stands out with a modern design, with the main highlight being the 15-inch vertical touch screen Ford Sync Move that can smoothly raise and lower at a 30-degree angle.
The car also has a 5-inch digital display showing driving data, battery capacity, and the status of automatic assistance features. In addition, the Ford Explorer EV also has a convenient haptic touchpad just below the center screen to control features including audio system volume or driving assistance technologies.
The standard convenience features equipped on the Ford Explorer EV include: smart key, dual-zone air conditioning, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, 10-color interior ambient lighting,…
In terms of safety equipment, this electric SUV will be equipped with 12 ultrasonic sensors, 5 cameras, and 3 radar devices that can monitor a 360-degree area around the vehicle to activate a range of driver assistance systems. At the moment, Ford has not disclosed detailed technical specifications of the electric Explorer.
According to many speculations, the vehicle will have 3 engine options. The first is a single motor with a power of 168 horsepower and a range of 351 km. The second is a single motor with a power of 228 horsepower and a range of 539 km. Lastly, there is a dual motor with a power of 335 horsepower and a range of 491 km.
It is expected that the starting price of the vehicle will be below $50,000 (equivalent to 1.22 billion VND).
In late 2023, the Ford Explorer EV was spotted on the streets of Vietnam. However, the vehicle has a European license plate, so it is likely that it was brought to Vietnam as a temporary import for shooting and advertising purposes.
