The Explorer is an SAIC-GM Chevrolet SUV model code-named D2UC. It is understood that SAIC-GM's Wuhan plant is undergoing a technical transformation of the new generation of Chevrolet D2 platform D2UC-2 and its variants, with an annual production capacity of 100,000 vehicles. Considering that the overseas version of the Explorer has confirmed the launch of the replacement model, combined with the total investment amount of the project of more than 1.7 billion yuan, it is expected that the D2UC-2 and its variants will probably be the domestic replacement explorer.

Judging from the overseas version of the spy photos, Chevrolet's replacement explorer adopts a new appearance design, the front face is upgraded to the honeycomb mesh mesh, and the headlamp group continues the split design. The shape of the tail is also lower and sportier, and the new shape of the LED taillights is adopted, and the overall design resembles that of the pioneers. In the future, it is expected to retain some of the design language after the new car is produced.
The current Explorer is priced at 169,900-239,900 yuan, equipped with a 1.5T or 2.0T engine, and both are 4-cylinder models. According to the data, the car in 2021 on the annual insurance volume of 35,481 units, down 8.13% year-on-year, and the similar price of Toyota RAV4 Rongfang, Honda Haoying and so on are not in the same order of magnitude. It is expected that the starting price of the Explorer will remain at about 170,000 yuan after the replacement, in addition to the fuel version of the model, the Explorer is also expected to launch a pure electric version in China, when its product competitiveness will be further enhanced.
