The Ford Explorer has been on the market for a couple of years now. However, Ford decided to enrich its lineup with a brand new hybrid version of its 7-seats off-road SUV. The Ford Explorer Plug-In Hybrid combines Ford’s EcoBoost V6 3.0 petrol engine with an electric motor and a 13.6 kWh lithium-ion battery.<\/p>\n
Both the engines combined generate up to 457 HP and an impressive 825 Nm (608 lb-ft) of torque. This is the most powerful hybrid vehicle in the Ford range.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The Explorer is equipped with an All-Wheel Drive traction paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The off-road skills are guaranteed by the Terrain Management System, which offers seven different driving modes depending on the environment conditions. The batteries won\u2019t reduce the cargo space by that much: you can carry up to 2,274 l of luggages if you sacrifice the second and the third row of seats, thanks to the Easy Fold seats.<\/p>\n The efficiency is pretty good as well; you should be able to maintain a fuel consumption 3-3,5 l\/100km (75-70 mpg) while keeping emissions under control (66 g\/km).<\/p>\n Furthermore, the new Ford Explorer features many driving assistant technologies, such as the adaptive Cruise Control, Speed Sign Recognition, Lane-Centering and Reverse Brake Assist. The infotainment system is composed by a 10.1\u2019\u2019 display, a three-zone air conditioning system and a Bang&Olufsen Hi-Fi system with 14 speakers.<\/p>\n
