Ford Explorer, the mother of all SUVs, has staged a comeback, some years ago. It had faced an ebb in demand in keeping with the ebbing demand of body-on-frame vehicles. However, it has staged a resurgence, before long, with its unibody construction. The new Ford Explorer may well be the SUV you have always desired.

The Ford Explorer started the craze for SUVs – Cars built on the chassis of trucks.

The consequent ground clearance and smoothness of ride along with ample space proved to be a clincher for millions of car enthusiasts. Other companies followed suit, and SUVs became a craze. However, the interest in SUVs ebbed to a certain extent due to its expenses on fuel. It came to be known as a fuel guzzler. It was again the Ford Explorer that pushed the frontiers of technology and came up with the new Ford Explorer. The new version has a unibody construction, unlike the previous versions. With its newest launch, this mother of all SUVs is taking aim at the pride of place it held earlier. Let’s look at the features of the new Ford Explorer.

Exquisite interiors
The premium Nirvana leather seats with micro perforations make seating arrangements exquisitely comfortable. Dual-panel moonroof, heated bucket seat in the second row and heated leather-wrapped steering wheel add finesse to the finishing.

The rugged exterior
The powerful design and satin chrome finish have imparted a rugged look suitable to the performance of the vehicle.

Power and torque
The best-in-class engine for the new Ford Explorer is a 3.5 L EcoBoost engine. It generates a 365 V6 horsepower and 350 lb-ft torque. The combination of turbocharging and direct fuel injection technologies let this 3.5 L produce enough power for a sojourn on a rugged terrain. It helps to achieve good gas mileage too.

Automatic transmission and curve control
The 6-speed automatic transmission lets you shift gears with a tweak of the paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. While you increase or decrease speed smoothly, the curve control feature automatically slows down the car as you start cruising along a curve.

Other driving features
The four-wheel drive option along with Terrain Management System and Hill Descent Control make it a cruise to ride on this mother of all SUVs.
