Start your all-electric adventure with the New Ford Explorer

Ford understands that buying a new car can be a stressful experience; second-only to buying a new home, it’ll probably be the most expensive purchase you’ll make during your lifetime. So, it’s no surprise that when the time comes for a new set of wheels, you’ll want to feel completely reassured that you’re making the right decision. And, as car buyers continue to make the switch to electrified models, there are even more questions to be answered to help smooth the process along.

Doing your own research, along with talking to a specialist at your local dealer provides a great starting point, but there’s nothing like spending time behind the wheel to really get to know a car. For customers keen to find out what its New All-Electric Explorer SUV has to offer, you can book a test drive today.

Read on to find out more, and create your own adventures with an iconic EV designed for a new era...

Built to explore

With the ability to travel up to 374 miles on a full charge,* the New All-Electric Explorer is the ideal companion for any adventure. And, if you’re the spirited type that likes to keep on the move, the Explorer has got you covered there, too, with fast charging tech delivering 107 miles of range in just ten minutes.** It means you can completely relax on the road, with full freedom to take the highway or meander along soaking up the scenic route - the choice is yours.

The new Explorer’s design is a bold move; its aerodynamic lines capture the spirit and assertive style of Ford’s iconic American SUV - all reimagined for a new electric era. Stylish, smart and road-trip ready, you’ll appreciate the Explorer’s flexibility, with a maximum towing weight of up to 1,200kg^ and the option of utilising up to 75kg of roof load capacity,^^ too - it’s perfect for bikes, canoes, skis or even just loading up a roof box for extra storage. When Ford says the new Explorer is ‘all you need and more’, it means it.

Onboard is even more of a revelation, with space for every journey, plus advanced technology that keeps you fully connected. With the new Explorer, Ford has focused on the important details that really matter for easy family motoring. That’s why you’ll find handy features such as the MegaConsole storage space; a huge 17-litre compartment between the front seats where you can keep items such as a large handbag, a laptop or water bottles for the kids. The ample 445-litre boot offers plenty of room for storing day-to-day baggage, while a moveable floor creates a space underneath which is helpful for neatly stowing the charging cables.

To support you on your journey, the Explorer includes cloud-connected navigation and an EV trip planner which takes a load off your mind by providing live traffic updates, alternative routes and live charging availability. It’s all underpinned by Ford’s latest SYNC Move infotainment setup working through an impressive, centrally-mounted 14.6-inch adjustable touchscreen; the beauty of the system is that it’s so easy to use and it even comes with sophisticated voice recognition, so you can concentrate fully on the road ahead.

Convenient charging

You can be reassured that Ford is working to make every aspect of charging your EV simple and convenient. The Ford BlueOvalTM Charge Network now features more than 32,000 AC and DC public charging points across the UK and is part of a network of over 600,000 charging points across Europe, which means you can say goodbye to any notion of range anxiety and feel comfortable every step of the way - wherever your journey takes you.

If you’re able to, then installing an EV home charger is a great way to ensure you’ll always have a battery that’s topped up and ready to go. Ford is putting you in the driving seat by partnering with Octopus Energy in the UK and ChargeGuru in Ireland to provide a variety of EV home chargers and installation services – all you have to do is simply choose the one that’s right for you.

Effortless choice

Simplicity is the key to happiness, and Ford has made sure that the Explorer range is straightforward and easy to understand. There’s a choice of Extended Range versions with rear- or all-wheel drive – the perfect option if you need to cover longer journeys on a more regular basis – while a RWD Standard Range model will be available to order later in 2024, and could be the ideal family EV for more urban adventures. After that, it’s just a case of which specification suits your needs best: either Select or Premium, although both trim levels come generously equipped.

They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and by arranging your own test drive in the All-Electric Explorer, you’ll be able to see how it really does offer all you need and more.
