A few days ago, the car buyer received a group of real photos of the new explorers, let us feel the product power of the new car in advance.
First of all, the appearance part, the new explorer continues the shape full of muscle and strength, but in order to further meet the user's personality aesthetics, the new model this time launched two kinds of front grille in the middle net style. The author expects that the tough off-road style will be more popular, and the heavy front bar can see its strong protection ability.
There is not much difference between the side of the new car and the current model, and the ST-Line version of the real-time model has blackened the exterior parts such as rearview mirrors and wheel eyebrows, and the overall viewing is more domineering. As for the most recognizable place at the rear of the car, it is undoubtedly a taillight group with a strong sense of three-dimensionality.
If the appearance of the new car is only an optimization of the details, the oversized horizontal screen layout of the cockpit change gives people a new feeling. Although the center control screen of the new car is not connected from the dashboard to the co-driver position like the new generation of Mondeo, it still provides a good sense of technology for the new explorers, and it is expected that the new SYNC+ intelligent car system will be built-in. In addition, the real-life picture shows that the new car adopts a brown interior, with a large area of soft materials and wooden trim panels, which has also improved the sense of luxury compared with the current model.

Although the power configuration remains unchanged, the combination of 2.3T+10AT is still competitive today.
