For the perfect combination of fuel efficiency and power, the new 2021 Ford Explorer proves ready to impress - boasting a turbocharged 2.3-litre Ecoboost Inline-4 motor. Thanks to Direct Injection technology (which maximizes fuel distribution), this SUV achieves 10.3 L/100 km Combined. That translates to 11.7 L/100 km in the city and 8.6 L/100 km on the highway, affording long intervals between station visits (and more time spent on the road).
Craving high-performance in BC? Thanks to Intelligent 4WD and a 10-speed automatic transmission, this economical ride pushes out 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. As for towing, the Explorer's limit is capped at a class-leading 2,404 kgs (which will enable BC drivers to easily accommodate all-terrain cargo. Leave no kayak, bicycle, or camping tool behind as you take to the trails).
The next option is the 3.0-litre Ecoboost V6. This motor comes with twin turbochargers for enhanced output. Partnered with the same transmission and drivetrain as the inline-four, it delivers 365 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque (or 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque on the premium Platinum and sporty ST trims). Don't fret about fuel, however. This Explorer engine still delivers ample economy, earning 13.4 L/100 km in the city and 9.8 L/100 km on the highway.
Additionally, since the V6 has more to offer in terms of strength, that means it can also increase cargo options. When equipped with a trailer, it can deliver a maximum towing capacity of up to 2,540 kgs. This assures segment-leading performance in BC.
No matter which new Explorer model you choose, each one is geared with the Terrain Management System with Intelligent 4WD. Helping you conquer all sorts of earth, this system lets you go just about anywhere. You may pick from seven selectable driving modes, including Normal, Trail, Sand/Deep Snow, Slippery, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Eco.
You control this function by turning the single dial located in the centre console area. Then you may monitor your selection on the 12.3-inch digital cluster display. Special 3D animated graphics create a user-friendly interface that makes exploring BC even more thrilling! No matter what kind of area you end up in, you can rest assured that the Ford Explorer can handle whatever you throw at it!
