The model
Read full Ford Explorer review
The Ford Explorer is better to drive than the closely related Volkswagen ID 4 and its interior offers more wow factor. Plus, our favourite version – the rear-wheel-drive Extended Range model –should be able to cover more than 300 miles between charges. We think Select trim includes all the kit you could want.
The trim
Range-topping Premium trim brings ambient interior lighting, a powered tailgate, a panoramic glass sunroof, 20in alloy wheels (instead of 19s) and Matrix LED headlights which can remain on high beam without dazzling other drivers. However, the price of the Explorer starts to look a bit punchy.
The engine
In this twin-motor form, the Explorer has four-wheel drive (lesser models are rear-wheel drive) and can dispatch the benchmark 0-62mph sprint in just 5.3sec. However, the official range isn’t quite as impressive as the Extended Range RWD car’s: 329 miles versus as much as 374 miles. A 10-80% top-up is possible in 26 minutes if you can find a charger capable of delivering electricity at the car’s maximum rate of 185kW.
