Compare 2020 vs 2019 Ford Explorer

Performance

Ford has replaced last year’s standard V6 engine with a revised EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. It pumps out a muscular 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Fuel efficiency has improved, as well. For the first time, a hybrid version of the Explorer is now available. If you’re seeking more driving excitement, check out the all-new Explorer ST. Its EcoBoost V6 engine pushes out a staggering 400 horsepower, which promotes a rapid 0-60 mph time of 5.3 seconds. Not only does this more powerful engine aid acceleration, but it also raises the SUV’s maximum towing capacity to a formidable 5,600 pounds. While the Explorer’s balanced handling makes it fun to drive on the street, and optional Terrain Management System helps you to conquer the rough backcountry.

Appearance

The 2019 Ford Explorer was an attractive SUV. However, expect the 2020 model to turn even more heads. When checking out the new Explorer, you’ll immediately notice its more modern appearance. Each trim has its own unique grille design. Blacked-out exterior trim and quad exhaust tips help give the high-performance Explorer ST a uniquely aggressive look. New paint options include Atlas Blue, Rapid Red, and Star White.

Features

Ford completely overhauled the 2020 Explorer’s interior. You can look forward to enjoying even greater comfort. Standard tri-zone automatic climate control and upgraded seats help ensure a relaxing ride. Ford also packs the latest Explorer with high-tech goodies. While the 2019 Explorer already offered popular features like Wi-Fi connectivity and advanced smartphone support, the 2020 model provides a new 10.1-inch color touchscreen. A fully digital gauge cluster is also available.

Furthermore, even the base models receive an 8.0-inch touchscreen opposed to a 4.0-inch display. Most importantly, Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard throughout the lineup. This accident-avoidance package includes helpful driving aids like blind-spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking.
