Approaching Tet Nguyen dan, many dealers are offering the E-size SUV model – Ford Explorer with a record discount of up to 440 million VND.
The discounted price of the car is only 1.999 billion VND. This is perhaps the lowest price of Ford Explorer since its launch.
However, this discount only applies to 2022 production vehicles, so there are not many in quantity. Generally, this used car batch does not differ much from the batch with 2023 vin numbers. The car only lacks 3 equipment: self-sealing tires (replaced with normal tires), hands-free trunk opening and rear seat air conditioning adjustment cluster.
Not only Ford Explorer, but the Volkswagen Teramont model in the same segment is also being discounted by up to 400 million VND this January. The discounted price of the car is only 2.099 billion VND.
The pressure from the proposed retail price of the “newcomer” Hyundai Palisade (1.469 billion VND) has caused most SUV models in the E-size segment to offer hefty discounts to increase competitiveness.
The Ford Explorer currently sold in Vietnam is the latest generation, imported as a whole from the US.
In the 6th generation, Ford Explorer was developed on a new unibody frame system, helping to reduce the weight of the car by up to 90 kg compared to its predecessor, while delivering an image of a more spacious and imposing 7-seater SUV.
The car has dimensions of 5.049 x 2.004 x 1.778 (mm) in length x width x height respectively.
Inside the cockpit, the Ford Explorer is equipped with a luxurious steering wheel, an 8-inch touch screen integrated with SYNC 3.4, and a 6.5-inch digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. In addition, the two 8-inch entertainment screens in the rear seats also support independent content viewing.
In addition, the car is also equipped with many modern conveniences such as: electronic parking brake, premium 12-speaker B&O sound system, wireless charging and type C charging. 3-zone air conditioning with premium filters.
Providing power for the Ford Explorer is a 2.3L EcoBoost petrol engine with a capacity of 301 horsepower and maximum torque of 431.5 Nm combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
In terms of safety features, Ford Explorer owns the Co-Pilot 360 driver assistance package with modern features such as: Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keeping Assist, Automatic headlights, Blind Spot Warning and Cross Traffic Alert, Collision Warning and Emergency Braking Support, 8 airbags, 360-degree camera, Rearview camera with self-cleaning function, Collision avoidance steering support feature using radar and ultrasonic sensors to detect objects on the road.
