The Ford Explorer gets a significant
refresh, with smoother bodywork, an improved feature set, quieter interiors,
and a stronger, more widely available 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder joining
the lineup. For 2016, the Explorer gets its most significant update since 2011, but
it’s not a complete redesign. The changes include new front and rear styling, a
new top-spec trim level, and some new equipment. Mechanically, its most
significant change is the arrival of a new EcoBoost four-cylinder engine.
In this year's Explorer, Ford has
carried over the side sheet metal, but has changed just about everything else.
With new front and rear styling, the Explorer has a more ‘finished’ and finely
detailed look than ever before. It appears that there’s been an effort to
visually lift the front end, with a higher, more defined mesh grille, while a
chunky LED lighting arrays provide accents and the headlights have their own
small radiator grilles. In back there’s a new sculpted spoiler and integrated
exhaust tips, while the rear pillars are reshaped. Inside it does its best
impression of a Taurus sedan in look and feel, albeit a little more upright.
