Why don't explorers recommend buying it? Is Ford Explorer a luxury car?

As we all know, soil and water can support one person. This word can be used not only to reflect the local customs, but also to express the demand for cars in various countries. What kind of cars a region is good at building is closely related to the actual car conditions in that region. This is just like Japan is good at making super-practical grocery cars such as K-CAR, and when it comes to the vast highways in the United States, SUVs with large capacity and good at high-speed cruising are undoubtedly the favorite of Americans, so when you want to buy a large SUV, you will often consider American SUVs first.

The biggest difference between brand-new explorers and the previous generation is not their appearance, but their national identity. Maybe Ford knew our demand for a 7-seat SUV long ago, so he made the Explorer a large SUV in China early. However, does the pure American flavor meet the tastes of China people?

When I met a brand-new explorer for the first time, I actually didn't have any waves in my heart, because I was never interested in this big guy, or maybe it was because the previous generation of explorers gave me too much sense of big cars. Driving this large SUV through the city is like a huge muscular man in tights. I believe no one will like this uncomfortable feeling.

Open the door, pull the armrest into the carriage, and press the ignition button. Although the 2.3T engine is only a four-cylinder child, the exhaust sound at the moment of ignition makes me feel good about it. Maybe this mustang engine of the same type can help me find some great passion. When the car started, I found that the new explorer was very different from the previous model. Although there is little difference in size, the new explorers are obviously more flexible. I was deeply impressed by the low torque performance of the new explorer at low speed. The torque of 425 Nm allows this 2-ton big guy to move like a rabbit at low speed. Yes, it moves like a rabbit!

The 76 horsepower engine and 10AT gearbox perform very well at high speed, and this data can be completely converted into actual power performance. The throttle is enough to follow the foot. Although there is still a gap compared with the naturally aspirated engine, stepping on the accelerator at will gives me great confidence in its control and makes me sit up and take notice.

Too high body and too heavy weight seem to be the biggest constraints on the mobility of the explorer's chassis. If I tell you that the explorer doesn't roll when turning, it is comparable to a car, then I must be "rigid", but when driving, I can also feel that the explorer has made great efforts in suspension. For cars with high center of gravity, the suspension is often not very soft. The explorer's suspension tends to be flexible, and the big bumps on the high speed can be isolated. Small vibrations at low speed can also be filtered by the relatively soft suspension of the head joint, and the overall performance is good, even excellent.

There is nothing to say about the interior, because the design of the giant central control panel is really lacking in details, so let's talk about the vacancy. For this 7-seat SUV, I am used to drilling into the emergency standby position in the third row before driving. Explorer, third row. I'm sorry about its size. If you don't sacrifice the legs of the second row passengers, the third row passengers can only sit on their thighs. There is not much problem between the first two lines. If you put the second and third rows of seats down, you can turn them into pickup trucks and help the goddess move.

Summary: the strength of the new explorer is relatively balanced, and the power and handling performance are excellent in the seven-seat SUV. Many people say why explorers don't recommend buying it. In fact, the biggest reason is the explorer's high fuel consumption and mediocre interior. Explorers' fuel consumption can reach 14- 15 liters in the case of urban congestion. Obviously, this fuel consumption figure is not acceptable to everyone. Explorers can barely be called 400 thousand top-grade cars, but their brand influence is slightly worse. Generally speaking, if you want a 7-seat, maneuverable SUV, Explorer is a model worth considering.
