Introducing the All-Electric Ford Explorer
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 2024
- Ford takes a closer look at the new all-electric Explorer with help from some of the experts that created it.
Combining German engineering with striking American style, Explorer is equipped with futuristic looks and a concept car-like, ultra-modern, five-seat interior.
Inside, a uniquely flexible SYNC Move connectivity system allows drivers to personalise their interior layout using an adjustable 15-inch touchscreen, which also conceals secure My Private Locker storage. A versatile MegaConsole is large enough to hold a 15-inch laptop for business travel, or multiple 1.5-litre bottles on family road trips.

Having the tablet slide down and out of the way is a big add. Ambient lighting is great also.
This car could make me go electric , looks great, well finished , well designed . I will wait and see if production models are as good
Love it too. You should drive new Mach-e GT. It's amazing & very sporty for luxury SUV. Looks far better than pics too! 💯
Nice VW ID.4 with a Ford badge on it 👏 Honestly Ford must be so proud of themselves!
Love it 💯 Great job Ford Motor!
well done Ford!
Love it!
Sucesso para a Ford,A muinta oferta por ai com mais Qualidade
That’s pretty damn small for an explorer
This Europe-only Explorer EV is unrelated to the bloated American Explorer, it's based off Volkswagen's MEB platform. Its length is 4,460 mm (175.6 in) vs. 5,050 mm (198.8 in), USA is almost 2 feet longer.
And the Ford Expedition is even bigger! Europe hasn't gone full-on "I'll kill anyone who gets in the way of my 3-ton tank while I get a few bags of groceries" like the USA, though they're heading that way with more and bigger three-row SUVs.
Wow, Workspaces
This should have been call the new edge
I love how Ford is based out of Dearborn, MI and That city will give you a ticket if you have red or blue ambient lighting inside the cabin. Sorce: I regrettably lived in Dearborn for a while.
I like the visuals of the green landscapes. But I really wanna see the cobalt mines and how those look
the cobalt is really needed for your handy bro, don´t forget that
... not to mention that Ford's new LFP batteries won't use cobalt ..
Looking like a very exciting possible replacement for us. Narrowed down to EX30 or Explorer.
Very seriously considering buying this vehicle.
Why not for the American market also?
What was that wheel wobble about at 1:56? It seems more like a "nod" to the GMC Terrain than a "nod" to Ford Explorer but whatever.
look beautiful! I love it! RANGE? or m gonna be exploring rhe walmart charger parking lot? :p
Where's the car's production located?
Why not in the US?????
I need to know about the range of the car
Cool!!
What's the ground clearance of that thing? Doesnt look off road capable 😢
Looking for the full size third raw 75 kw battery
Is this a different car from the one in London, looks much better finished and great with tinted windows. I think it’s a great car.
Ab wann kann man mit dem Ford Explorer eine Probefahrt bei meinem Autohändler vereinbahren. Für eine Antwort wäre ich sehr dankbar.
Scusate ma è possibile sapere quanti chilometri fa con una ricarica? grazie
So what about the battery? Range?
is this is going to be in Europe only? Seems like it given the folks in the video.
Massive improvement over the fiesta/focus. We need this in the states.
That is such a stupid thing to say, they aren’t comparable size and audience vehicles. Without the Fiesta and Focus (and Mondeo gone) Ford has no cars it can sell or of any interest across Europe so they can’t get smaller EV’s out quick enough to replace Fiesta Focus if they are to survive in Europe at all. And most people simply don’t want an EV especially at extortionate charges.
@@garydavis1528 It's a sustainable vehicle that Ford can make a decent profit on that looks better than the old focus, and especially the fiesta, has more features and utility, is more environmentally friendly, will almost certainly require fewer repairs, and with a very low center of gravity, and RWD, should drive just as well, if not better than non-performance versions of those cars.
Sure, it's more expensive, but you seem to think I'm saying this replaces the focus/fiesta in terms of price. I'm not saying that in the slightest. It replaces them in terms of plant capacity.
Brands tried making super affordable cars, and sure, you'll sell more of them. But if it's not profitable, selling more of them is actually a bad thing. The more you sell, the more money you lose.
@@garydavis1528 Also, it's fusion, not mondeo, get it right 😉. On the topic of what things are called, it's soccer, not football. Also, switch to the superior imperial system of measurement.
There is one! It’s a VW ID. 4 lol
Or just buy a VW ID.4 because this explorer is the ID.4 in disguise lol and this is far bigger than a Focus and even bigger than a Fiesta. Oh wait Americans only drive fat SUVs with no one but just the driver inside 🤣
What’s the range?
Having a "secret" compartment for storage is a great idea. Unfortunately, EVERY reviewer so far has mentioned it, so it ISN'T "secret" any more. Does look nice though. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. Might even be tempted to replace my Mustang Mach E with it.
They say it locks in der lower Position once you lock the car.
Yeah but here’s the thing its No Longer a Secret now is it…
Well, most everyday Joes walking by won't know that there's a secret compartment (unless they watch the reviews).
You all must be on the same page of news handed out by Ford. Moveable entertainment screen, big centre arm rest, glovebox.
Would have liked to hear anything about V2L, is there a shade for the glass roof, the haptic buttons on the steering wheel etc.
Thanks anyway for what you were directed to present.
I own a Fiesta and a Focus, love them both, this one will probably grow on me, had hard time figuring out what size it is as the US model is large, next to come is the Capri, don't mess up this iconic car Mr Ford.... please?
Its about the same size as a Kia Niro EV. Slightly smaller then a VW ID.4 but larger then a ID.3
@@DuesenbergJ I am not familiar with these models, is it about the same size or larger than a Ford Puma?
@@lffit it’s larger then the Puma. But there will also be an electric Ford Puma next year.
@@DuesenbergJ thanks for the info, I will check out those other models you spoke of!
I’d check them rear drums on ur focus and fiesta
I like
So no 3rd row? Why wouldn't this just be the Ford Edge? What a let down.
Looks great, but what about a 7-seater?
I'm sure USA Ford will eventually come out with the Bloated Behemoth Expedition Max XL EV, but I've heard no plans for it. Get a Kia EV9 or if you have the money the Volvo EX90 or Tesla Model X.
Okay, can you now bring a full size electric SUV to Europe so that I can actually fit my dog back there comfortably? That's not the size I hoped for when I read electric Ford Explorer 😅
I have an Explorer now and this looks much smaller. This looks more like a station wagon.
mau mobil FORD... kami mencintai FORD....
No 3rd row?
Releasing explorer ev was easier for you than fixing 10R80 transmissions in current ford models
Why did you give the Explorer name to a vehicle smaller than an Escape/Kuga? Do you have to shrink all vehicles during electrification? You are doing the same mistake you have done with the Mustang Mach-E. Every person I showed it tells me the same thing: 'It is not a Mustang!'. It is a good car but definitely not a Mustang. Thank you for not doing the same to the F150 Lightning.
we need a frunk/froot for messy charging cables, not the underfloor storage.
The adventure starts if you try to charge it outside a city 🤣
Good reply!!!
Ford please come back to India 😭🥺😭😭🥺
Likely 2025 or 2026, 2 row explorer like the Jeep Cherokee. Does Look cool, and will be starting at $90K+ Dealer markups ???
It's Europe only.
TOGG ✅
Is there a frunk
She says "built here in Europe for Europe". That's not what I heard. My understanding is that Ford plant in Oakville, Ontario will be assembling electric Explorers along with another electric model.
No it's designed in cologne plant
You forgot to ask the most important question - WHAT IS THE RANGE ?
The most important question is : is it going to have as many problems as the Mach e ?
450 liters boot space?? :D :D what is this? a pre-production joke I hope. I will buy the Renault Zoe if I need a city car.
The Megaconsole is a great place to keep my guns. Easy to reach and out of the way from sight.
The people who designed the vehicle have done a very valuable job, I congratulate them all. but why 7 seats were given up. When you think of Ford Explorer, the family car with 7 seats always comes to mind. Please do not ignore this important detail. Your customers will need it.
Die Leute, die das Fahrzeug entworfen haben, haben eine sehr wertvolle Arbeit geleistet, ich gratuliere ihnen allen. aber warum wurden 7 Sitze aufgegeben? Wenn man an den Ford Explorer denkt, kommt einem immer das Familienauto mit 7 Sitzplätzen in den Sinn. Bitte ignorieren Sie dieses wichtige Detail nicht. Denken Sie an Ihre Kunden.
Because this is a (relatively) compact crossover based on Volkswagen's MEB platform for the European market, not the USA Ford Exploder.
@@skierpage I don’t fully agree with you on this because there are currently many 7-seater car models being designed in Europe. The Ford family already has 3 crossover models with 5 seats.
@@tomsea but I think only the Mach-E not-a-Mustang is an EV.
I wonder if Ford will make an Escape EV or Exploder EV first for the USA.
No roof rails for an "adventure" vehicle... 🤔
Watching this in May 2024 with a delivery date of 2024 December😅😅
This spells the death of Ford Escape/Kuga.
Is that only me who finds a stark resemblance to Citroen SUVs. 😮
Bit like a C-max with no engine an I like
Looks nice,hopefully no VW software.😅
It's ford software. Its the sync system
Secret compartment.... not so much anymore eh?
Big fat suv to replace the fiesta and focus lol. What a joke
It will almost certainly handle better than those cars. Rwd vs FWD, and a much lower center of gravity with a wider track enhancing high speed cornering stability. You're writing the car off before you've driven it.
It doesn’t replace the Fiesta
More round and a lot smaller why that’s what the ford escape is for
🇺🇸🤝🇪🇺
Omg😮 just noticed. Old type door handles😡
Laptop and water bottle are no go together 😅
How can you take something as cool as the legendary Ford Explorer and make this souless abomination? I will keep my old V6 Explorer for as long as possible. At least it's actually practical.
It'll do the same amount of exploring as a fiesta/focus/mondeo.. take you to work do the school run and take you shopping... ford have made a bad move going down this road in Europe especially in the UK
Yes, a huge mistake, Ford need to put people back in charge who actually like and enjoy cars, not this woke nonsense.
US would like this!
The USA gasoline Explorer is almost 2 ft longer than this Europe-only Volkswagen-based EV (176 inches). Every car maker wants to sell you a bigger expensive EV crossover, they're figuring out how much bigger and how much $$$.
What are the power specifications? A 4-wheel drive Explorer is going to need more power. Elon Musk can't build a battery that will handle the demands of the new Cybertruck, so he is switching to a fuel cell stack technology. How will the Explorer compare? The best car battery out there is still the Panasonic 2170 and that is not saying much.
Don't see any legacy explorer in this. might as well call it something else
early 2024 buahaahhahahaah
Is that joke we want explorer timberline we want explorer timberline and you give our electric suv named explorer we want explorer timberline
This looks European
Still a Ford, landscape mode screen is better, not mentioning range and price, tell me everything.
this is not a explorer please rename it , its 50cm shorter then normal explorer ... how can be same EXPLORER
Yeah everything nice. But only a next new >50k$ Car forbBig money butts... Where is the first 25k$ Family-Car? WHO begins the really electric time?
Chinese car makers sell them.
Shame.they didn't put in a doggy window.
Habe vor 3 Jahren meinen letzten Ford gekauft.Reine E Autos sind nahezu überflüssig,unausgereift und zu teuer.
I hate the tablet. Please get these touchscreens out of our cars and bring back buttons! Peugeot is doing better here with a mix of physical buttons and screens, though it's not perfect.
Even the Ford Sierra and Cortina had better lines than this thing.
It's a Transit with windows.....Ford are finished in the UK and I loved their cars, but not this butt ugly beast.
Messy charging cable. What a way to advertise an EV
Ive always loved the explorer...until now. I thought it would be cool if there was an option for an electric explorer if ford kept making it cool looking, but this thing is freaking hideous.
Goofy
ugh, Ford?! @3:25 a person sensually presses the touch sensitive diplay but there is 0 reaction there and that invokes an awkward "whoopsie" smile. Why put smth like this in a video?🤦♂
Sorry Ford, we want striking cars, not another half-baked SUV. Unexciting.
Top to bottom- interior and exterior, Non-american designers and consultants just fcked up our expectations from legendary Explorer…. FORD US management, shame on you approving this design bringing as the first ExplorervEV model 😢
Ford has no plans to bring this relati Ely compact EV based on Volkswagen's MEB platform to the USA.
What has happened Ford,Have they lost it completely terrible disappointing future ahead
What's wrong with Ford selling a relatively compact EV crossover in Europe?
It won’t sell No one can afford these so called EVs they are overpriced, And unwanted
Grandpa, just because you don't want one doesn't alter the fact that sales of EVS are increasing every year, and even in the laggard USA a million were sold in the last 12 months.
Müssen Sie keine Wohnung brauchen
DERIVATIVE.
One big con the battery will only have half its range at 6 years old and depreciation will make it a poor buy as you try to find anyone who wants to buy it knowing the battery will cost a fortune to replace buy a decent deisel and it will be far greener than this disaster of a car .
Batteries last decades, it's a non-issue.
@@themidnighttavern6784 but can you drive 1000km+ with a light and small battery? With a tank full of Diesel (90 Liter) you can do this…
@@darius.schulz Bro, this is just cruel. You're basically shooting progress in the head because technology that is only now being utilized isn't on par with technology that has over a century of investments and improvements propping it up. Battery tech is very competitive considering it's only received significant attention over the last decade or so.
Are batteries just as good as the technology that's had 130 years to develop? No, not in every comparison at least. Just give it time.
@@darius.schulz You're saying a diesel car can go about 600 miles on a full tank. There are already EVs that can travel over 500. EVs with 300-400 miles of range are becoming commonplace.
The battery will last at least 15 years 😂 what petrol car doesn’t need maintenance in that long
I will never buy a volkswagen, sorry ford!
Exactly 😕
Yep! Well said. Make your own Ford this is just a junk VW.
Oh did you know who made the VW? 😅
It’s a shared battery chassis platform as pay back for Ford making their combustion vehicles into Vw Badged ones. This is a Ford designed and built by Ford onto that chassis where as Fords Vw vehicles are Ford designed and built by Ford for Vw, the first being the pick-up Amarok now out.
And we never buy your ignorance!
Great.Another suv👎👎👎
45k for a Ford I’ve owned only Fords all bar 2 cars and if I had 45k to spend on a car it damn sure wouldn’t be a Ford electric suv especially when the f150 lightning is a massive joke because of its battery issues and I have seen some customers of Mach-Es are not happy because of battery issues. Now if I understand correctly it is on a VAG platform so it might not be terrible because of it German parts but it begs the question why pay 45k for a Ford suv when you can get a VAG car that uses the same platform in a hatchback saloon or estate and will likely have a better level of build quality. You know Fords accounts will get involved and save money on things and ruin it anyway
So far other than the Id Buzz I’m not impress at all with the VAG EVs and think this explorer not only looks better externally with its Land Rover looks but internally as well with an infortainmemt system that looks like it actually works. As for the price, all EVs are expensive and when I recently looked at an ID 3 that was nearly £40k for something that is nothing more than a very cheap looking golf then I personally think the explorer is very reasonably priced in todays EV market.
Not terrible because it will have German parts - European Fords are designed at Merkenich Cologne, most are built in Cologne or Saarlouis in the Rhineland. Those assembled in Spain or Romania use parts sourced from Germany. European Fords are already German!
@@rickerbyct 😂 I am aware that Fords have been designed and built I. Germany for years I’ve owned mk1/2/3 Mondeo mk5/6 Escort and mk2/3 Focus and it was a observation that because parts are coming from the vag group it might not suck and be awful like the F150 lightning with its battery issues even some Mach E have had issues. More importantly Ford are allegedly not going to be building any hatchback saloon or estate cars in the future in favour of suv and crossover and I don’t need or want that so I will likely move to a Skoda next or something from the Vag group
Not going to even consider it, touch-panels everywhere including the steering wheel... You really didn' have to take over that nonsense from VW :(
A Volkswagen passed off as Ford.. 👎🏻👎🏻
Hermosísima, pero es un verdadera lástima que no hayan mantenido la tercera fila de asientos... de verdad que es un error...
