It looks similar to previous generation. An evolution.

Sono contento che sia tornato su una piattaforma TP+TI, anche se rimane comunque "stradale" rispetto alle sue antenate con i longheroni.

Molto belle le proporzioni esterne, un po' da digerire il frontale. Bocciato invece il mega-tablet interno, un vero pugno nell'occhio per come è integrato nella plancia.

Mah, piuttosto scialbo. La nuova base TP migliora le proporzioni, e il frontale non è male anche se non originale, ma dietro è uguale alla vecchia, potevano differenziarla maggiormente. Dentro invece il tablet è inguardabile, il resto non mi dispiace, anche se sa di già visto.

Insomma non hanno voluto stravolgere il modello, che è uno dei loro bestseller; ci sta, ma è strano poi che invece abbiano stravolto la meccanica. Curioso di vedere se la nuova impostazione a TP avrà effetti sulle vendite, o il pubblico se ne fregherà.

The all-new Explorer ST and the all-new Explorer hybrid complete a lineup that includes a wide range of driver and passenger comforts, an assortment of technologies that improve every drive, and new powertrain options that deliver a range of power and uncompromising efficiency.

The full Explorer family, which follows on the heels of the hot-selling new Expedition, goes on sale this summer. As Ford’s SUV sales leader, Explorer will set the pace for the rest of Ford’s utility lineup, which continues growing this year with an all-new Escape – and more.

“This new generation of Explorer recognizes that every family – and every driver – is unique,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford executive vice president of product development and purchasing. “With an all-new ST and an all-new hybrid, there truly is an Explorer for every adventure.”

The newest additions to the all-new Explorer family – built at Ford Chicago Assembly Plant – will join base, XLT, Limited and Platinum models in showrooms.

ST thrills continue with all-new Explorer ST

Continuing the expansion of the ST brand that began with Edge ST, the all-new Explorer ST is the most powerful and fun-to-drive Ford SUV ever.

Engineered by the Ford Performance team, Explorer ST uses a specially tuned 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine projected to achieve 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. A top speed target for track drivers stands at 143 mph.

“We designed it to be an ST from the beginning,” said Ed Krenz, Ford Performance chief functional engineer. “There’s no mistaking its ST DNA. It has a performance feel with sustained performance capability, and wears an unmistakably ST appearance. More than anything, it's just a hell of a lot of fun to drive.”

Explorer ST delivers an engaging driving experience with a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and standard four-wheel drive with selectable traction control. Available upgrades include an ST Street Pack and an ST Track Pack. Both feature 21-inch aluminum wheels and red-painted brake calipers, with differing levels of performance brakes.

As with Edge ST, Explorer ST offers a Sport mode that lets drivers select an even more exhilarating ride. When engaged via the Selectable Drive Mode dial in the center console, the steering system tightens for sportier reaction, the gas pedal responds more aggressively, gears hold longer and shift quicker, and an enhanced engine note plays through the cabin.

Visually, Explorer ST stands apart from the rest of the lineup courtesy of a black mesh grille insert, liftgate applique, lower bodyside details, roof-rack side rails and skid plate elements. “EXPLORER” badging stretches across the front edge of the hood.

Inside, a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster is standard. A flat-bottomed heated steering wheel embossed with an ST logo, as well as unique floor mats, are subtle ST-exclusive cues. Leather sport bucket seats with micro-perforations, City Silver accent stitching and ST logo complete the sporty feel. 

Explorer ST also comes standard with a Class III Trailer Tow Package with Cargo Management System and Active Park Assist 2.0, Ford’s new driver-assist parking system that takes control of the steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal and gear shifter during parallel and perpendicular parking maneuvers with a simple touch of a button.

Explorer hybrid offers no-compromise efficiency

Ford is reinventing the standard for what a hybrid can be, and this year is introducing an entirely new generation of hybrids that bring out the best in hybrid vehicles with great performance and the freedom to go further.

The all-new Explorer hybrid – available as features a 3.3-liter hybrid powertrain is projected to produce 318 horsepower combined and is targeting a range of more than 500 miles between gas station fill-ups in the rear-wheel-drive model*.

An all-new 10-speed modular hybrid transmission provides SUV capability. A specially designed liquid-cooled, lithium-ion battery is built into the Explorer chassis below the second-row seats to preserve cargo and passenger space, unlike previous hybrid vehicles.

“Lost cargo space in hybrids is a thing of the past for Ford customers,” said Bill Gubing, Explorer chief engineer.

Other standard Limited trim level equipment includes Active Noise Cancellation to reduce unwanted noise in the cabin, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+™ driver-assist technologies, leather seats with micro-perforations and accent stitching, second-row heated seats, a 14-speaker B&O premium sound system, wireless phone charging pad and 10-way power adjustable driver and front passenger seats.  

*Actual range will vary. Final EPA-estimated ratings available in the 2019 calendar year.

Sicuramente sono io ad avere qualche problema, ma la ST me la comprerei, mi piace parecchio

Ma la piattaforma ibrida è la stessa di Mondeo oppure è nuova?

Nuova nuova...la Mondeo usa un 2.0 litri Atkinson assieme ad un CVT.

Questa un 3.3 V6 Aspirato ed automatico con motore elettrico integrato.
