The new electric Ford Explorer.

Ford exploring a fresh EV approach to a classic

Electric vehicles (EVs) are central to Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, aiming to reduce transport emissions by replacing internal combustion engines with zero-tailpipe-emission vehicles. With a target of 945,000 EVs on Irish roads by 2030, they significantly cut carbon footprints by utilising a national grid with growing renewable energy. Such vehicles claim to deliver up to 50-60% lower operating costs.

Engineered and built in Germany with striking American style, the new electric Ford Explorer epitomises an exciting fresh approach to the way we move. Equipped with futuristic looks and an ultra-modern, five-seat interior, it offers a seamless digital experience to meet the demands of Europe’s most tech-savvy customers.

The SYNC Move fully connected infotainment system; complete with 14.6-inch movable screen, wirelessly integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Music lovers will appreciate the performance and look of the stylish soundbar-style B&O speaker, while advanced driver assistance technologies and the comfort of heated, sculpted, sporty and massaging front seats will help deliver a reenergising drive. Explorer will take longer journeys and road trips in its stride, with more than 600km driving range possible from a single charge of the extended range rear-wheel drive model. Approximately 26 minutes of fast charging can raise energy levels from 10-80 per cent for the extended range all-wheel drive model.

Practical as well as smart, the movable screen can conceal My Private Locker for securely storing valuables. For bulky items, the 17-litre capacity MegaConsole’s clever storage is roomy with enough space for multiple 1.5-litre drinking bottles or a laptop, leaving the boot free for luggage, camping kits and sports equipment. Altogether, there is storage for about 490 litres in five-seat mode.
