COLOGNE, Germany – Ford today announced an enhanced version of its electric Explorer SUV, designed to be adventure-ready and equipped to handle both everyday demands and leisure activities.

Explorer Standard Range models receive a significant performance boost thanks to a new Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery and an enhanced electric motor, increasing driving range and delivering more torque for faster acceleration.

The Explorer Collection is a new addition to the range and the latest model in the Ford Collection. Designed to be the ultimate expression of Explorer’s active adventure spirit, it draws inspiration from sporting equipment with its unique design, colour, and materials.

Explorer’s advanced driver assistance systems have also been expanded, offering greater support to the driver in a variety of scenarios. Pro Power Onboard is a new feature that can power activities away from home, with the addition of a socket in the trunk or an adaptor that plugs into the charge port that can power devices at up to a combined 2.3 kW from the Explorer’s drive battery.

The Explorer’s SYNC Move infotainment system has also been updated with a new design theme to give greater clarity and ease of use, with expanded views of parking and navigation screens and the ability to group apps into folders to suit your preferences.

“Explorer is a highly capable and versatile all-electric SUV with a spirit of adventure that chimes with our thrill-seeking customers,” said Christian Weingaertner, general manager, passenger vehicles, Ford Europe. “Even so, we’re always looking for ways to improve our vehicles. With better range, more sophisticated driver assistance systems and Pro Power Onboard – as well as a fresh look with Explorer Collection – we’ve taken it to a new level of sophistication.”

The Explorer Collection is the latest addition to the Ford Collection – a limited series of special models combining unique design with an enhanced specification.

On the outside, Explorer Collection is finished in Cactus Grey paint, not available on any other Explorer, with a new 20-inch alloy wheel design in Satin Black complemented by a black roof, front and rear skid plates, and distinctive door and rear pillar graphics – all combining for a more determined and driven presence.

Inside, Explorer Collection has Black Onyx as the main colour, contrasting with orange on the seat sides, lower soundbar, and seatbelts. An eye-catching black and orange speckle effect is used across the dashboard and centre console, while the seats feature a unique 2D knit insert, reflecting the texture and appearance of high-quality sport clothing and equipment.

With the new LFP battery, the Explorer Standard Range offers up to 444 km of driving range on a full charge, an increase of more than 17 per cent, giving drivers more freedom to travel longer distances between charges. The use of LFP batteries also offers the benefit of using fewer high-demand raw materials compared to traditional battery chemistries.

The Explorer Standard Range benefits from an enhanced electric motor, increasing power to 140 kW (190 PS) and torque to 350 Nm. This improves responsiveness for the driver and allows Explorer to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8.0 seconds.

The new Explorer range, including the Explorer Collection, is available to order from today.
