It should be noted that the new Explorer will also appear in Russia, but not earlier than autumn 2019.

The new generation Ford Explorer is based on the new CD6 platform with a longitudinal engine and standard rear-wheel drive. As an option, an all-wheel drive transmission is offered with a clutch that provides front-wheel drive connections. On this "trolley", by the way, a new one was also built. So the 6th generation Ford Explorer returns to the layout familiar to SUVs (rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive). The predecessor has a transverse engine under the hood and standard front-wheel drive.

The platform of the Explorer 6 generation is completely new and provided the SUV not only impressive size wheelbase of 3025 mm, but also a new body with a fast, sporty profile. At the same time, compared with the body of the 5th generation of the model, the front overhang of the novelty has decreased, the false radiator grille has increased, the headlights have shrunk and stretched out in length, the front bumper has received a different plastic and acquired large LED foglights, the side surfaces have received an original relief, and the rear roof pillar is larger incline.

However, with all the seats unfolded, only 515 liters of cargo volume fit in the trunk of the 6th generation Ford Explorer (for the previous generation model, this figure reaches 580 liters), and for some reason there is less space in the cabin.
