In addition, a metal baffle design is also added under the front face, not only enhancing its aesthetic of strong security and protection, but also delivering improved scratch resistance when driving on non-paved roads in the wilderness, thereby improving the overall off-road experience.
Among the many updates in exterior design, highlights include the ice-blade grille lights, which are inspired by the famous ice ridge of Muztagh Peak – the "father of glaciers". The clarity, transparency and natural texture of the design reveal a confident and firm gaze, while also greatly improving the vehicle’s lighting capacities when crossing various terrains.
Moreover, the new model further strengthens Explorer’s overall black aesthetic through a series of thoughtful details, including the Ford and EXPLORER logos, which have been updated to reflect the vehicle’s evolution in capturing the low-key, organic beauty of the wilderness. Another notable element is that new Ford Explorer Timberline is also the first Ford model in China featuring the all-black oval Ford logo, highlighting its unique identity.
