The Explorer has been a mainstay in the Ford lineup for decades. Now, the engineers at Ford have developed a hybrid powertrain that adds power while delivering efficiency. Here are four reasons you’ll absolutely love how the 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid performs.
Stylish Exterior
The Ford Explorer Limited isn’t just a hybrid vehicle, it’s a powerful SUV with curb appeal. A honeycomb mesh grille with chrome bars, LED signature lighting, LED headlights, and LED fog lights give the Explorer a piercing gaze.
Rolling by on 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, the contoured sides give it a bold posture. As the Explorer pulls away you’ll admire the dual chrome exhaust tips, watch the LED taillights disappear, and wonder why you don’t own one.
Interior Comfort and Convenience
Slip inside the Explorer and you are immediately enveloped in comfort. Multicontour seats with Active Motion technology allow you to customize your seating position for maximum comfort. Now, with Active Motion you can choose from five different massage settings for the ultimate relaxing ride.
This full-size SUV seats up to seven comfortably. E-Z entry second row seats tilt with the push of a button to allow easy access to the third row. The split/folding third row folds flat for multiple cargo configurations. The second row seats also fold flat to maximize cargo space.
A 10.1-inch LCD capacitive portrait touch-screen is your access point for all your technology. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability allow you to make a phone call, play your favorite music, or access navigation.
Powerful Performance
When you choose the Limited Hybrid you get Ford’s 3.3-liter V-6 engine augmented by a 35-kW electric motor. When paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission this powertrain gets an impressive 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque.
Its rear-wheel drive architecture gives the Explorer more power and control, plus a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. An available intelligent all-wheel-drive system delivers control and economy by sending power to the wheels that need it most.
A terrain management system lets you dial in your Explorer’s suspension, throttle, and steering to match its performance to the road conditions. Choose normal mode for your every day commute. Opt for sport mode and get a more thrilling, responsive ride. Eco mode is perfect for those long road trips.
When you hit those dirt roads, select trail mode for enhanced traction. Deep snow/sand is the perfect setting for when the surface gets soft. Tow/haul mode gets you and your trailer moving. Slippery mode is great when the road is wet or icy.
Driver-Assist Features
Ford Co-Pilot360 is a suite of driver-assist technologies that help you driver smarter and safer. Available features include blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic coverage. A lane-keeping system alerts you when you drift within marked lanes.
Adaptive cruise control uses radar to keep you at a predetermined speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. Automatic emergency braking with pre-collision assist can mitigate or avoid potential accidents.
There are many more reasons the Ford Explorer Hybrid is a great vehicle. Come test drive one today and see which features you’ll love best.
