Ford Explorer - the vehicle that defined a segment - has been completely
reinvented, raising customers' expectations of sport utility vehicle (SUV) fuel
efficiency, safety, technology, capability and quality.
"The all-new
Explorer will deliver today's SUV buyers the attributes they really want and
value, and a few they might not even have dreamed of," said Mark Fields, Ford
president of The Americas. "We're proud to introduce the new Explorer to
customers and fans around the world today and pleased to begin a whole new era
that blends strong SUV fuel economy and performance."
The all-new
Explorer launched first to its Facebook friends in a unique social media
initiative, followed by reveal events throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The Explorer Shatters SUV Fuel Economy and Performance Expectations
The 2011 Explorer with V6 power is expected to deliver more than 20 percent
better fuel economy than the 2010 model, shattering conventional expectations
for SUV fuel efficiency. When equipped with the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4
engine, Explorer fuel economy is expected to improve by more than 30 percent and
exceed the 2010 Honda Pilot and 2010 Toyota Highlander V6.
