- One of the most competitive automobile industries is the SUV segment. There are some pretty high-quality cars, and others are very popular. Some of the top choices are the Ford Explorer, the Kia Telluride, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and even the Volkswagen Atlas. These cars are great competitors, but it seems as though with the updates made to the 2023 Ford Explorer, it is now standing out among all the competitors. But what is it that makes it stand out? Could it be that the 2023 Ford Explorer is better than its competitors? Let’s find out, shall we?
Hello everyone, and welcome back to our channel. Today, we will find out whether the 2023 Ford Explorer is better than its competitors. But before we continue, make sure that you leave a like and subscribe to our channel for more updates on your favorite cars. And with that, let’s look at the 2023 Ford Explorer versus its competitors.
One of the fiercest segments in the car industry is the midsize three-row SUV segment. It has countless proven competitors who are constantly enhancing their flagship models to gain an edge over the rest. The 2023 Ford Explorer, the Volkswagen Atlas, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Kia Telluride are among these competitors. However, if you compare them, you will realize that the 2023 Ford Explorer stands out at the top of all of them. When you look at the performance, gas mileage, safety, practicality, and even the off-road capabilities, you will see that it really stands out.
The first advantage that the 2023 Ford Explorer midsize SUV has over all the other midsize SUVs is that it has a more powerful engine. The Explorer has more robust engine options, boasting the power to get you where you need to go and get the job done. It all starts with the base-level 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4, which is more potent. This engine alone can give you up to 300 horsepower. In addition, you can get the Explorer with a 3.3-liter V-6 hybrid, which can give you 318 horsepower, or a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6, which provides you with 400 horsepower.
When it comes to the Jeep Grand Cherokee, it comes with a 3.6-liter V-6, which gives it about 293 horsepower. The Grand Cherokee also comes with a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, which provides it with about 357 horsepower. It also has a plug-in hybrid in the 4xe model, giving it about 375 horsepower. These powertrains are still no match for the 400-horsepower output of the Explorer’s EcoBoost V-6.
If you compare this with the Kia Telluride, all the engines offer more horsepower without messing with the fuel efficiency. The Telluride comes with a 3.8-liter V-6 engine, which gives it about 291 horsepower. However, we can say that the Kia Telluride is a bit more fuel efficient, given that it offers an estimated fuel economy of about 23 mpg combined. However, the Explorer comes with an estimated fuel economy of up to 24 combined mpg, and the Hybrid has a gas mileage of up to 27 combined mpg.
Another advantage that the 2023 Ford Explorer has over its competitors is the interior. The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a roomier interior. It doesn’t matter whether you are going to the grocery store or driving on a trip across the country, the Explorer provides a lot of space for people and cargo. Regarding seating capacity, the Explorer can fit up to seven passengers. However, the Grand Cherokee can only carry up to five people in the two-row model. The three-row Grand Cherokee L model is the one that comes closest, carrying a maximum of six people. The Explorer also has a total passenger volume of about 152.7 cubic feet.
When it comes to safety, the 2023 Ford Explorer is definitely the better choice. It has been given an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, which is the highest possible rating. On the other hand, the Telluride has managed to get the second-tier IIHS Safety Pick award. And even though the Kia Telluride has its advantages over the 2023 Ford Explorer, the Explorer definitely takes the win for its advantages and features.
In terms of safety, the Ford Explorer is also safer than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This clearly places the 2023 Ford Explorer higher than all of its competitors in terms of safety.
The 2023 Ford Explorer is a much more capable vehicle when it comes to its off-roading and towing capabilities.
In the end, the 2023 Ford Explorer is highly competitive among most of the three-row SUVs, each with its own sets of pros and cons. But in the long run, the Explorer is a better choice for consumers who are interested in performance, a high-grade cabin, safety, and even affordability.

I like having a black Ford Explorer. People slow down when approaching me, thinking I might be a cop. Hilarious to see daily.
For us living in the Philippines, the main issue is poor parts availability.
I loved my 2020 Explorer ST. What an outstanding performance for the buck. I got a 2022 Pathfinder Platinum and it is fantastic, but lacks the performance.
Ford could do so much better if the interior materials didn't feel like cheap rental car grade, It's been the same complaint for years but they still lag way behind their competitors.
The Asian Explorer is way better than the North American version!
Dude. Consumer Reports literally advises against buying the 2023 version…
I consider this car went with the telluride. 100% happy, never looked back.
Kia has a current class action law suit for oil usage issues. Checking on all of vehicles in this class and the Toyota Grand highlander seems to be the most reliable. However people bitch about free use of the app for 2yrs then Toyota charges $10 a month fee after that. Not sure what to buy
2023 ford explorer, 2023 ford explorer, 2023 ford explorer, 2023 ford explorer, 2023 ford explorer.
It’s a nice vehicle I have a 2021 Ford F150, that I like but frankly, the Hyundai Palaside calligraphy is much more luxurious has a better warranty, and in my opinion a better value
@Scott.. How does one compare a Ford F-150 to a Hyundai Palisade in terms of luxury? Why not throw a Mercedes Benz Maybach S-Class in the mix?! This is comparing apples to oranges. Makes no sense at all!😑
@@DalHarpJr I apologize for the confusion. What I was trying to say is that I like Ford and I have a Ford F150, but for a SUV comparison like the Ford bronco, the Hyundai Palaside is a better value proposition.
Then again you have the displeasure of saying you own a Hyundai
@@Scott-cu4ol Ford Bronco is not the same class as a Palasade. I think you mean Ford Explorer.
Honestly no not really, well maybe the
interior yea is better then the explorer, but the explorer is much better in terms of power and capability and the palisade doesn’t really have that spacious feeling that the explorer offers
Where the Exploder falls in its face is reliability. It's a beautiful vehicle but reliability issues would prevent me from purchasing
They all have issues including Toyotas. That's why Toyotas are overpriced. The fact you have to pay much more for reliability is already ridiculous as a concept.
I have had great reliability from all Ford vehicles going back to the 1950’s up to and including my 2016 Ford F350 SuperDuty pickup.
Why you here lying? Them Ford trucks/suv are dam good vehicles. Everybody driving those Explorers, why would the State issue them to the police departments??
Just say you don't like Ford, but don't come here lying
@@Bruin4Life right, that fool just hates Ford.
Everybody driving Ford trucks/ suv.
My cousin has a 1992 Ford 350 with over 520k miles, that truck can run 0- 60 in 6.8 seconds right now.
I agree. For my 2020 it was the faulty transmission with less than 10000 miles, the blue 360 camera issue (will be fixed soon), and the sluggish infotainment system.
I keep reading about the last couple years having reliability issues and the projected reliability is lower than competitors. I really like the features and looks but for the price i want something that's not gonna cost a fortune to repair once out of warranty. I've had 2 Explorers, 2002 and 2012 and loved them both. The 100 lb towing capacity difference part between the Explorer and Telluride makes this video sound like it was produced by AI...
I bought the 2022 version of the Explorer Limited. To get a better vehicle I would have had to spend an extra $30k. Really happy with it and a very good value for the money.
DO NOT BUY AN EXPLORER! We have a 2021 ST and went through MULTIPLE Recalls that took days to get finished with no rental- at 31k miles the TRANSMISSION totally blew and after 4 months - no rental - we finally got it back with a total replacement Transmission.. 4 months later (2600 miles) BOOM TRANSMISSION BLEW UP AGAIN. This happened to us last week and we are back to FIGHTING with Ford to help up. It's so insanely hard to work with Ford on this. Praying they just pay us to get out of this LEMON of a vehicle and we can take our money elsewhere. So far this vehicle has cost us over 5k out of pocket between having to Pay towing/rental cars/etc. DO NOT BUY FORD 😔
Same story as my gm that's been in shop since 2020
You said it yourself, 2021...This is 2023
Thank you for this information. I thought Fords were reliable and built rough. I guess I'll get a 2023 Hyundai Palisade.
@@taliagoodwomanmann if you get a crapoboost v6 engine then your life is in danger as you need to pay a lot of money on repairs
Other engines are decently reliable
I have a 2016 and already had 2 water pumps replaced I only have 66k miles on it to date never again Ford I gave you a chance
I have owned three in the past. They are just too expensive to me now. But they look nice.
Never had issue with mine platnuim 3.5 ecoboost love it
Yes right
Just wait, explorers are not on everyone's list of vehicles not to buy for a reason.
Been waiting for 82,000 miles and counting all about proper maintenance and ams oil liquids ecoboost power = unmatched
@@wesmullennix3495 what year is it?
2016
I actually Chose a vehicle between these cars. I ended up with Grand Cherokee L. The explorers 3rd row is useless no one can sit back there. In the Cherokee L an adult can sit normally. The grand cherokee 4xe is great because the first 27 miles are all electric so around town you don't even need gas. The telluride looks nice uncomfortable and is just not made as nice as the ford and jeep.
Are you really saying diff vehicles win with mpg? The +- only being 1-2 mpg difference between Explorer and competition.
It’s really a non issue 1-2mpg difference because at that point it comes down to the driver habits over a standard average
You were very selective in your comparison. You appeared to only compare the explorer with specific competitors in the areas where it did better, you didn’t compare it with all the competitors on every element. Based on that we can’t make an informed decision. You made the decision it for us. SMH
this model shown here is the Chinese model and its not for the US market..
I guess it's classified for USA for now.
True
stands out because its a great looking vehicle
Even the prices…it’s so expensive
It’s not an Explorer, more like 2-3 different Subaru designs meshed into one. I’ll take the real thing instead.
Can’t wait to see a hood scoop on the new model, 😂
Good review but not better than the Grand Cherokee.
You smoking crack. Elon Musk already told us Ford is number one in trucks
It is way better actually than the Grand Cherokee
Kia telluride looks way nicer that all of these but has just as bad reliability as an explorer 😅
It comes with a 10 years warranty tho
Too early to tell I have a 2020 Telluride with 48k miles so far no issues. Will it last as long as my other cars 251k Lexus 222k Infiniti. I doubt it but no other car offered the space and features in 2020. Here comes the 2024 Grand Highlander now if it was available in 2020 I would buy that over Telluride.
Rented a explorer xlt and drove it on the highway for 300 miles. A very comfortable ride and very quick. The dash is modern but the tablet they have for the entertainment system is below sub par. I love every ford auto from.the mustang to the trucks for their beautiful aesthetics..but they need to respect consumer demands on two things
A..interior
B have better dealerships like how Lexus does. Ford if it does this will.have no need for Lincoln and will easily beat Toyota.
I love when people are commenting on a car but never mention which car they're talking about. "Had 3 racalls in mine", "Hate the way it drives" etc.. mf which car so I can stay away from it! 🤦🏼♂️
Hard to beat 100k warranty
@Joseph Spears.. Read the fine print of Hyundai/Kia 100K mile warranty's. For $2K ea., I have Premium level 125K mile bumper to bumper (factory) warranties on both of my '20 & '21 Ford vehicles.
Love how you talked about towing and completely forgot to mention the Cherokee can out tow the explorer by almost 1000 lbs. and chose the Cherokee as a competitor instead of the Durango which comes with the most powerful platform in a 3 row SUV and almost 2000 lbs more towing capability.
Get those nasty Fiats outta here.
Jeep’s reliability has fallen off since its acquisition by Fiat
Don’t care about it at all but a relative crash one head on into tree it did exactly what it should of kept her safe was amazing couldn’t tell what color or rig it was So it’s a great safety rig
The best SUV on market is Porsche Cayenne and Macan, but after them FORD is by far better (and better looking) than anything else on Earth.
I find it ironic to say the least that you have lined up a group of SUVs that rate at the very bottom of the consumer reports worst vehicles for dependability list so you can pick which one is the best?
Ich hatte auch einen solchen SUV aber wieder nach zwei jahren verkauft viele probleme mit motor und antrieb.
How you did not put the Toyota Highlander and the Honda pilot on there
Because, the Highlander and the Pilot will outlast the Exploder.
Both pale in performance compared to the 3.0 EcoBoost Explorer. Besides they are smaller in size compared to the explorer and owned by people who prefer economy over everything else.
Is that body style coming to Canada and the USA?
Damn!!!!!! this be one of my favorite in its kind, but how flexible/comfortable is it when it comes to rocky/tough surfaces? and, does it lift higher and lower its weight incase of muddy or flooding areas? how about wheel strength on a slippery surface?
I have a 2021 ford explorer xlt with the i4 engine and it has plenty power and it’s off-road capability is honestly shocking, I took it once on a trail which had some rock crawling and sand and it did it perfectly
Stick to Toyota folks. All cars have issues now but Toyotas won’t actually break down like a Ford and leave you stranded.
Reliable, sure. But also basic and dull.
Yep, only if you don't give any importance to performance, comfort, features, etc and want an appliance to go from A to B
The kiA is a superior vehicle to the Ford
the internals of kia engine is 3rd world
The explorer is Cop suv period
Very true
both is great for meeeee
After 4 decades of buying only ford's I have had with their poor quality the last several years. Last two vehicles were Honda's.
Honda Passport!
I really hate the transmission knob. Such a waste of space and missed opportunity to make it cool.
Prefer realibility over look and feel. F explorer 2022 too many mec issues. Suspension breaks a lot
@Adan Palma.. Where'd you get this information from?
@@DalHarpJr some cars RUclipsrs that bought it and have content about this issues
@@adanpalma4026 Which car youtubers ? What videos ?
I'm taking the chevy Traverse over the explorer anyday of the week
I'll take Ford EXplorere any Month all Years of my daily driving
Uhmm no traverse sucks 🤔😂
@chikidd34 not more than anything Ford
@@KDragg4 those sells figures say different 😂
Ford is way better than gm
The one thing I notice on the explorers is Ford REALLY misses the boat on rims. Very subpar on size and style. Many explorers look like a clown car w/very undersized rims that are very plain. May not be a huge deal to some, but it would be a deal breaker for me.
How does it compare to the Durango or telluride?
A Dodge vehicle is trash. I would buy a Hyundai over Dodge anyday.
Go ask someone who owned a Dodge that had over 130k miles on it, its constantly having problems.
With Ford, you might need to repair something but its not going to be the major issues everytime you look around.
Ford the only truck that's not a gimmick. Put any truck up against a Ford when it comes hard working it, my money and life on the Ford doing what the others can't do.
Elon Musk will tell you the same , Ford is number one in trucks
@Bruce Dragon1000 I have a 9 year old Durango a it runs like a top.
@@SpotlightMtka look i hate to be rude but im serious individual and when it comes to my research and telling people the truth , therefore they know where to spend their money. You want the best Truck, get a Ford.
Elon Musk not stupid, that Man is very intelligent, he knows Ford is number one truck
@Bruce Dragon1000 Different strokes for different folks. I'm just saying I wouldn't write off all Chrysler products anymore. They've improved dramatically over the last 10-15 years. But I'd definitely buy one over a Hyundai even with their warranty. I've heard horror stories about people unable to get warranty work done because of a backlog on vehicles Hyundai is experiencing.
Do a shot every time he says competitors
Three friends with this engine from ford all lemon lawed. Ford can keep it !!
I call it the Ford "imploder".
Noooo thanks 👎
That 23 explore is for Asian market style only not in us bro
Grand cherokee better interior
How does it stack up against the 2023 Acura MDX? I bet it doesn’t.
Whole my life I drove Honda Pilot, I decided to buy Acure after test drive, I said Nooo. I drove the Acura MDX advanced 2023 model. It's a piece of junk. Interior is cheap plastic, and driving experience was like you driving weakest car ever. The brakes are very weak. No way, for money they asking its not worth it. After that, I drove Explorer , I am going with Explorer .
When will it arrive in Europe?
Unfortunately never. Europe gets this electric Explorer on a VW base instead.
YES, though if we’re talking 2-row SUVs, then the Jeep Grand Cherokee competes very well.
Short answer to your question: NO! Will never compare to Toyota
Ok Is this the confirmed look for the US 2023 Ford explorer?!?
The Explorer in the video is the China market version
Lol, I’ll keep my Grand Cherokee
None of those cars are suvs. All of them are crossovers. Suvs are body on frame trucks rwd.
No way I would buy one, reliability is terrible. I have friends that have new Ford's and dealership's and Manufacturer are terrible to deal with when taken in for warranty work👎
it is rear wheel drive based, but still no true 4wd /low range ,the grand Cherokee, 4 Runner are the only true 4wd's with a true low range , every thing else is front wheel drive based drive ,mods settings so more dirt road off roaders
Yes man
The Jeep GC 4xe get better mileage than both
Ford has always had a reputation of not being a reliable vehicle and not well made , I’m still nervous spending $60,000. On a ford .
I am on my 35th Ford Truck, I love them, now with a 2022 Hybrid 3.5 getting up to 24 MPG driving around town, 20 MPG towing a trailer with 1000 lbs on it!
The 3.5 Is a ticking water ballon
6 seater.?
Ford has gone downhill with their vehicles . Not reliable at all rather have the new Toyota grand highlander
Put a V8 in it.
The Explorer's main problem is the engine. Those ecoboost engine's like to nuke themselves.
Please provide a source that says 'ecoboost engines like to nuke themselves.'
I need gas mileage.
FORD TRANSMISSIONS ARE CRAP. DO NIT BUY FORD.
Looks like pathfinder lmao
Best SUV? Nah!
Not even close to the competetion
It is not Ford anymore. Just full-Chinese car.
Of course not. Never ford again
Sponsored by Ford much?
Crappy compaired to the European ones
autobus
👍😄
Ford isn’t better than anybody. Nice try.
😉😉😉👍👍👍😍😍😍
ford exploded
It looks like a Range Rover💀
Ford is partnership with Range Rover
what a waste, all that space only to accommodate a couple people, that's what 4 door sedans are for
Ford Explorer is no where near better that a Dodge Durango.
Drayden Hilliard.. The ONLY thing the Dodge Durango has that is better than the Explorer, is the availability to option V8 engines.. That's it! The Durango has been continually 'refreshed' cosmetically on a tired, decades old Mercedes Benz platform, and it has subpar tech to boot! Please share with the chat how the Dodge Durango is better than the completely revamped Ford Explorer?
The Durango has the most powerful platform, higher tow rating, nicely revised interior, and is definitively a better looking vehicle.
Had a Lincoln Navigator, ford motor company reliability is trash.
Kia the best
Nope. Not even close.
(And, it's a Ford).
Volkswagen atlas is better by far.
Kia the best
