Ford Explorer review: the family EV that gets almost everything right
Ford says top models can travel up to 374 miles, while the Explorer’s spacious cabin and quiet ride target family buyers.
Ford's new Explorer enters the competitive mid-sized electric crossover sector, marking a stylish departure from traditional design while aiming to restore the brand's standing.
Brand loyalty will likely drive buyers to dealerships to check out the Explorer, which utilizes sensible EV architecture with a familiar Ford steering feel despite sharing a hidden platform partnership.
Excellent interior space and a massive boot provide utility, while aerodynamic design ensures the Ford cabin remains quiet with minimal wind noise and good visibility for all passengers.
Top models claim up to 374 miles of range, though 325 miles is more realistic; keener drivers may appreciate the performance despite power being traded for extended range capability.
Prices for the Ford Explorer start from around £35,185 with decent specifications in base models, positioning it competitively as buyers increasingly rely on independent vehicle data when evaluating family EVs.
