Ford Explorer Car Review

Fullerton Fordhttp://fullertonford.com

The 2014 Ford Explorer ranks 16 out of 22 Affordable Midsize SUVs. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Ford Explorer, as well as reliability and safety data.

While reviewers like the 2014 Ford Explorer’s attractive interior and fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine option, higher-ranking SUVs offer a more refined ride, tech features that are easier to use and more cargo and passenger space.

Ford Explorer

The 2014 Ford Explorer comes standard with a V6 engine that reviewers say has sufficient power. An optional turbocharged V6 engine is more popular with test drivers for its added power. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is also optional, and the Explorer achieves its best fuel economy estimates with this engine. According to the EPA, a front-wheel drive Explorer with either V6 engine achieves 17/24 mpg city/highway, which is about average for the class. With the four-cylinder engine, the Explorer averages 20/28 mpg, which is excellent for the class. Reviewers say the Explorer’s ride is fairly comfortable overall, but many agree that the Explorer handles with less refinement and doesn’t feel as nimble as other midsize SUVs. Test drivers also appreciate that the Explorer’s brakes have been improved to provide better stopping power and a more reassuring pedal feel. The optional Terrain Management System, which adjusts engine, transmission and brake parameters to optimize performance on various types of on- or off-road surfaces, is also well-liked by reviewers.

The 2014 Ford Explorer seats up to seven and comes standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional. A 3.5-liter V6 is standard, while a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 are optional. A six-speed automatic transmission comes with all engines. The Explorer comes in four trims: base, XLT, Limited and Sport. The Explorer is largely unchanged since its redesign for the 2011 model year, so this review uses applicable research and reviews from the 2011 to 2014 model years.
