Performance

The Ford Explorer 2021 offers two engine options, both of which have been regarded as the segment’s most powerful engine options. Limited trims, XLT and base are offered with a roaring 2.3L Turbocharged Inline-4 engine, that has been designed specifically to provide a great balance between efficiency and performance. Furthermore, the inline-4 motor pumps out 300 hp and 310 lb-ft.

This unit has been manufactured to pump out 346 hp and 380 lb-ft in the Platinum trim but is boosted up to 400 hp and 415 lb-ft in the ST trim. The 10-Speed Automatic gearbox is a common factor between all these trims that gives the perfect measure of energy to dash forward.
