Why it stands out

The 2021 Ford Explorer stands out as a midsize SUV that has moved well beyond its rugged origins into a more polished, rear-wheel-drive-based package. It rides on the CD6 platform shared only with the Lincoln Aviator, and that layout gives it better handling than any previous Explorer without sacrificing smoothness or refinement. For buyers who want something more engaging than the typical family hauler, that chassis change is a major part of its appeal.

Performance is another defining trait. The 2021 Ford Explorer offers a 300-horsepower 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder, while higher-output versions bring a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with twin turbochargers that makes 365 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, and the ST raises output to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It was also available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, combining a 3.3-litre hybrid V6 with a 1.5-kWh battery pack and electric motor for 318 horsepower and a combined fuel consumption figure of 9.6 litres per 100 kilometres. That breadth of powertrain choice helps the Explorer cover a wide range of buyer priorities, from efficiency to outright pace.

The 2021 Ford Explorer is also well equipped for everyday family use. Even the XLT includes push-button start, keyless entry, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance features such as automatic high beams, blind-spot information system with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping alert, lane-keeping assist, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and forward collision warnings. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and at least four USB ports are standard, and seating can be configured for up to seven passengers. The main trade-offs are that some of the more advanced convenience features are reserved for higher trims and option packages, and owners may still notice concerns about fuel economy and ride comfort.
