Ford Explorer 2021 review

Cars – The 2021 Ford Explorer comes as one of the most popular mid-size SUVs in the market today, characterized by its American design, powerful engines, and a very comfortable riding experience, and today we will learn about its most important advantages and disadvantages during its review.

the design:

The 2021 Ford Explorer has a distinctive design that includes a silver-colored hexagonal front grille surrounded by two large LED lights parallel to the clear lower fog lamps and a black ventilation port connected to an off-road lower protection plate.

From the sides, the Ford Explorer has a distinctive box design with a long roof and large side windows, in addition to a prominent dynamic line extending from the front fender to the top of the taillights, while at the back we see two exhaust pipes with medium-sized LED taillights.

Cabin and Techniques:

The Ford Explorer cabin provides a very spacious interior space with 7 seats across 3 rows with a high level of comfort and good front visibility, although some competitors excel in the spaces of the second and third rows and the level of mattress support for the back, but the Explorer is distinguished by providing two hooks for fixing children's seats in the back rows .

The overall design of the cabin is attractive and has high-quality materials, but it is not the level of luxury for some competitors due to the spread of plastic surfaces throughout the cabin, but on the technical side there is a standard 8-inch touch screen standard easy to use, with an option for a larger 10.1-inch vertical screen, and both systems provide Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support with a standard six-speaker audio system or an optional Bang & Olufsen 14-speaker audio system, and finally, a 12.3-inch digital instrument screen can be added with a rear-seat entertainment screen, wireless charger and three-zone air conditioning.

Safety:

The 2021 Ford Explorer achieved a full 5-star rating in the American NHTSA tests, and it also received the highest marks in the American Institute IIHS tests as well, reaching the Top Safety Pick+ award for being one of the safest cars in its class, and its most important standard technologies include monitoring the level of driver attention to the roads, monitoring Blind Spots, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear View Camera, Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking.

Defects:

The most important defects of the 2021 Ford Explorer is the weakness of the materials of its cabin, which is much less than many competitors in terms of luxury, luxury and high quality, and the interior design in general seems ordinary and undistinguished, and at the same time the experience of sitting on the seats for long trips is not the best compared to what is available In other models in the same category, and finally in the case of choosing the higher infotainment system with a larger vertical screen, we find that the experience of use descends rather than improves due to the strange design and removal of the space for phones available at the bottom of the smaller standard screen.

performance and consumption:

The 2021 Ford Explorer offers 3 options of engines, including a standard 4-cylinder turbo engine with 300 horsepower with an average consumption of 10.4 km / liter, and two twin-turbo V6 engines with a power of 365 and 400 hp with an average consumption of 9.3 km / liter, all of which are connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
