Did you also know that this SUV is able to provide efficient performance wherever you go, though? Below, our Marshall Ford team gives you more insight on the 2021 Ford Explorer and how it is able to conserve fuel as you drive.
The Ford Explorer Engine Choices
The exact fuel economy of the 2021 Ford Explorer depends on the powertrain you choose. Standard is a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine. This generates 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
More power is provided with the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6. This creates 365 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque. In the ST trim level, this V6 engine can produce even more power as it pushes out 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Matched with this available V6 engine is the available Intelligent 4WD system. This will provide added traction any time the roads become slippery, or you travel down a dirt road. The Explorer also has an available hybrid engine you can choose. With its combination of gas and electric power, this powertrain produces a total of 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque.
What Is the Ford Explorer MPG?
If you stick with the standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine, you will enjoy an EPA-estimated 21 city/28 highway MPG as you drive around in your Ford Explorer. Even if you opt for the more powerful V6, the Explorer can still get up to EPA-estimated 18 city/26 highway MPG.
To have the most efficient performance with your new Ford Explorer, especially while driving around the city, you'll want to get the available hybrid engine. With it, the 2021 Explorer gets an EPA-estimated 27 city/29 highway MPG.
What Makes the Ford Explorer Fuel Efficiency?
One great aspect of the 2021 Ford Explorer is its standard 10-speed automatic transmission. Having more gears than most SUVs, this allows for the Explorer to provide smooth acceleration and an efficient ride.
That is because it can be more precise with the gear that is chosen, so you can get up to the speed you desire and maintain your cruising speed without having to rev up the RPM too much. Another aspect of the Ford Explorer that helps it save fuel is its EcoBoost® engine.
EcoBoost® engines feature three key technologies: turbocharging, direct fuel injection, and twin independent variable camshaft timing. These all work to produce as much power as possible while using the least amount of fuel possible.
