Inovev forecasts 350,000 new Ford Explorer per year
- At the 2019 Detroit Motor Show, American manufacturer Ford presented the new generation of the Ford Explorer, which is the Ford brand's best-selling SUV (340,000 units in 2018) and one of the most impressive. Indeed, the Ford Explorer is in the Ford range just below the Expedition SUV, but above the Edge (segment D), Escape (segment C) and Ecosport (segment B). It is therefore an E segment SUV. The new Ford Explorer shares its platform with the Lincoln Aviator.
- Its competitors are mainly the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Dodge Durango.
- The Ford Explorer has always been an important model in the manufacturer's American range. Its origins go back to 1990. With the scheduled phase-out of the Fusion and Taurus sedans, the Explorer could become even more important over the next five years. That is why Inovev expects 350,000 annual sales of the new Ford Explorer, while the American market as a whole should decline during this period.
- The new Ford Explorer will be produced as before at the American site in Chicago, Illinois.
- Its engines are as follows: a 2.3-litre Ecoboost 4-cylinder petrol engine developing 300 hp, a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost petrol engine of 365 hp or 400 hp and a 3.3-litre V6 hybrid engine combined with an electric motor developing a total power of 318 hp.
