Ford is adding another iconic vehicle to its electric lineup. The all-electric Explorer is launched, designed and built in Europe.
Ford has unveiled a new all-electric Explorer. This is an electric vehicle that combines German engineering expertise with vibrant American style. The Explorer is the first in a line of European Ford electric models. This is a medium-sized crossover designed for five people.
The car was developed and will be produced in Germany. Equipment includes a large 15-inch SYNC Move touchscreen display and a fully connected infotainment system that controls the audio system adapted to the model’s interior space. Explorer also provides wireless integration with smartphone apps, and drivers are supported by advanced assistance systems.
Modern equipment
The design of the model was developed taking into account an active lifestyle. The volume of the luggage compartment is approximately 470 liters. Up to a 15-inch laptop can be placed on the 17-liter console between driver and passenger. A stowage compartment hidden behind a large screen and a contactless trunk opening system also set a new standard in comfort.
Inside, we find contoured sports seats or an interestingly designed soundbar, which are usually more typical of concept models than production family cars. Matching the modern aesthetic of the model is the ability to quickly charge the battery with direct current from 10 to 80 percent of its capacity in 25 minutes and reach 500,000 by the end of next year. public charging stations throughout Europe.

Charging the traction battery must be fast and uninterrupted. When using navigation, the system can help you find the most convenient charging points along your route. Charging at home can be scheduled to save money with favorable electricity rates during periods when electricity is cheaper, as well as preheat the interior and get 100 percent. charge level before leaving in the morning.
Explorer is available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. Standard equipment includes heated front seats and steering wheel, driver’s seat with massage function and dual-zone climate control. Access to the salon is convenient thanks to the standard keyless entry system. We will get into the luggage compartment with our hands full, for example, with sports equipment, thanks to the use of a contactless hatch opening system - with a simple movement of the foot under the rear bumper.
Price list from 45 thousand euros
Driver assistance systems include, for the first time for a European Ford model, Lane Change Assist, which suggests a safe lane change when the turn signal is turned on, and Safe Exit Assist, which warns of an approaching two-wheeler or other vehicle before open doors.
