So, what can you expect from the upcoming 2024 Ford Explorer? Ford introduced the sixth generation of the Explorer back then in the 2020, where the vehicle was constructed on rear wheel driving system platform, which was hugely inspired by the Lincoln Aviator. Although the future Explorer may not get any redesigned work, it should get some new refreshing tweaks and updates. Those updates include the company’s BlueCruise (semi autonomous) driving system. In terms of powertrain, don’t expect too much from it, especially for some significant transformation.
About the New Ford Explorer
All these years, the Explorer has managed to be one of the most popular SUVs in the business – and the vehicle does have several good reasons for it. The three row arrangement is convenient. With such a layout and the fact that it can accommodate 7 people comfortably, it’s quite understandable if people are in love with such a ride. And let’s not forget that the vehicle offers versatile engine options, along with the hybrid power that is just appealing for eco-friendly enthusiasts.
The Specifications
Expect improved performance and better abilities from 2024 Ford Explorer. First of all, the new SUV will be coming with bigger towing ability, up to 5,600 pounds of weight. A lot of auto enthusiasts predict that engine options would remain the same as the previous line, so you shouldn’t expect change or significant transformation.
In terms of interior cabin, the vehicle has satisfying space and room. When compared to its rivals like Toyota Highlander or Kia Telluride, the Explorer definitely is a winner. The legroom on the first and third row is more than satisfying enough, but the second row suffers a bit from a cramped arrangement.
Besides rooms and space for people, the cabin also offers satisfying space for the cargo. The dimension is between the Toyota and Kia’s dimension, with Explorer has a slight advantage compared to Telluride in terms of maximum cargo requirement. After all, the Explorer has been designed as a family friendly ride that can offer tons of space as well as premium quality (and material). Expect improved convenience and functionality long the trim lines although the company hasn’t mentioned any detail information about it.
Powertrain and Performance
Different trims would have different powertrain. For the base trim, the Timberline, the Limited, ST-Line, and XLT, the offered power would be turbo four unit with 2.3 liter capacity, able to generate 300 hp. It has 21 mpg for the city and 28 mpg for the highway. It is able to reach 60 mph within 6.8 seconds. It may not be the speediest vehicle in the industry, but it’s not bad either.
As for the Platinum Hybrid and Hybrid trim, the offered engine would be V6 unit with 3.3 liter capacity, able to generate 318 hp. It has 23 mpg for the city and 24 mpg for the highway, with 7.7 seconds of time to reach 60 mph. And for the ST and Platinum trim, the offered powertrain is the V6 twin turbo unit with 3.0 liter capacity, generating 365 hp (for the Platinum) and 400 hp (for the ST). It has 18 mpg for the city and 24 mpg for the highway. It is able to reach 60 mph within 5.3 seconds only.
