It’s also worth noting that the Explorer is also offered in mainland Europe with a PHEV powertrain. I saw a few when I was in mainland Europe, including one in Romania.
I was initially thrilled about this, but my enthusiasm dwindled after seeing the center console. I cannot comprehend how car manufacturers believe that replacing physical buttons with a touchscreen is a secure alternative, particularly in situations like this car where the driver has to look down completely to view the screen, making it very hazardous.
Ford's decision to use a VW platform is baffling considering how crap the ID.4 is. I wonder if this was a forced compromise for the Ranger being sold as Amarok. Using it to target women makes sense. I'm in VA, USA and don't know any men who own one. It's a mom-mobile, like vans used to be and wagons (estates) before that. Also, "vegan" leather is a clever marketing to making you feel better about paying a premium for a cheaper, worse product. You're not saving any cattle or reducing cruelty.
Looks OK, be an interesting test and comparison with some of its competitors from Asia. Seems like Ford do not listen to journos about haptic switches and their overuse. Your review is as usual, good and informative
I like this a lot........For Me, It'l be either this or the electric Equinox........Whichever is first available, assumeing price to be similar............Paul
Tish I generally liked your review and the features of the vehicle. Disappointed that you used the comment about the type of dream. Your review did not have an age warning and I can imagine younger people being confused by your language. Not trying to be a prude, just saying that there is more neutral language to convey your message.
Looks nice hopefully not too expensive, can't wait see the new puma EV and Capri electric SUV crossover when they eventually come out, exciting times, they've done a great job with the Mustang Mach e, it looks beautiful but it's so expensive, a car most of us can only dream about lol, so hopefully these new ones be more affordable for normal people, not everyone has 40 grand on them or can afford paying silly monthly prices like 600 or so a month for a PCP finance contract, the way things are going in UK it only be the rich that can afford nice looking EVs ,the rest of us will end up with petrol or diesel cars or small crappy looking EVs that Ur embarrassed to be seen driving in 😅
Not sure about this design. Ultimately the purchase price will determine if people will / can afford it. The size is something that is important, Tish did say it is larger. How much, lets wait and see. Suffice to say bigger cars have plus and minuses.
Look, I don't want a computer with 4 wheels and a steering wheel. I just want a simple petrol car that is cheap to make, cheap to run and cheap to fix. Is that too much to expect in this post-modern world ?
Wingback chairs? Wow! Have they got antimacassars as well? Oh, wait, she's lying, they're not wingback chairs because there isn't a huge open fireplace making enough draught to blow your hair around.
I do hope Ford doesn't do a proper compact car because I don't want them or Volkswagen to continue to exist. I want companies that are serious about EVs to win. Removing themselves from competition is great for Tesla and for the growth of possible disruptors to the market (most of which will fail but the worse the legacy companies do, and they're doing incredibly badly, the more likely one will flourish). So yeah, keep making massive cars that are completely impractical on European, Asian and African cities were we actually have old buildings and don't worship massive swathes of tarmac. Plus, this isn't a real car is it. It's not out this year even, the reports are saying next year so... who honestly cares?
Is your comment trying to BE ironical? A Tesla fan talking about "this is not a real car" when there is the not so real (by your own definition) Tesla Cybertruck is a bit... Let's say, weird.
Electric vehicles dont handle cold weather at all. Lots of bragging on Fords part on charging time. Electric vehicles are no where proven for practability over the gas models. Best to wait a few models down the line before making a 50k decision. Dont let the 'razzle dazzle' promises you into $1,000 car payments for years!
Trish, for goodness sake ,fire your makeup artist, and probably your director, I can’t be the only one to see you with a face that is so shiny it looks weird. Nothing a even a make up assistant at Boots could fix .

I’m really not sure about the external styling, but think the interior is excellent and will definitely be taking a look at one when it’s released
I like the look of the car ,and I think it's the way to go ,I have never had a Ford this could be the first 😬
Just ordered mine , in 16 weeks I will be the very proud owner of the explorer
I like it - looking forward to see specs. Thanks for a great video
Great insights Tish, very well handed out and class presenting!
Thanks Electrohead team.

I like it ❤ Be interesting to see the specs/prices when it's launched 👍🤞
Well done Ford, mostly done well, but only failing is the touch steering wheel controls switches. I really like the car is it coming to the USA?

This is pretty much what I've been waiting for.

A real peek at what we in the States can expect from Ford in the near future locally. Thx!
I'll be heartbroke if this doesn't come to the States................Paul
As an American it's hysterical that you think Fords are historically small cars 😂😂😂
What are the biggest difference between Explorer and id4?
I heard it's not available to next year. Like the rear room.
Great video as normal. Great looking car.
1:30 Ford Avenger? Like the sound of it 😅 Lovely review though!
It's called the Avenger a couple of times in the video 😳🫣
Is this coming to the US or is it just for Europe like all the other cool EVs?
I don't like it it's ugly and too big we need more city cars not these huge Yankees cars
YOU Europians must think REALLY small................Paul
Really excited about this Ford Product 🎉
I like this a lot........For Me, It'l be either this or the electric Equinox........Whichever is first available, assumeing price to be similar............Paul
we need more medium sized cars with 250 miles not big car that the carpark space are tight
This is quite compact with 4.46m long (the same like Niro EV/Focus? With small radius tuning ~10.4m
Here in America, This will be considered small...............Paul
9:23 I've heard 10-80% in 25 minutes. The text says 10 mins and the voice-ever says 20. I'm guessing no one knows for sure yet.
7:35 A tech lover's wet dream ?! 🤭Oh my ....
Amazing what You can now say in Public..............Paul

The windowbuttons same vw thats a mistake
Beautiful
Great vid and great looking suv ford it’s about time they got another EV out, it’s like ford is kicking their heels on EVs for England.
Thanks
I love it

Ford would do well to replace the Escape here in the US with this new EV and keep the Escape name for it.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........YES...............Paul
lets just hope they'll develop better UI software than VW (which wont be difficult)
Look, I don't want a computer with 4 wheels and a steering wheel. I just want a simple petrol car that is cheap to make, cheap to run and cheap to fix. Is that too much to expect in this post-modern world ?
Changing to 80% in 20 or 10 minutes? Tish says 20 and the overlay says 10!
20 ☺️☺️
Good report and nice looking car but far too large and powerful to interest me as a potential buyer.
Actually smaller than what Americans are use to........AND easily carries 4................Paul
Doesn’t look a very aerodynamic shape. Am I missing something?
Wingback chairs? Wow! Have they got antimacassars as well?
Oh, wait, she's lying, they're not wingback chairs because there isn't a huge open fireplace making enough draught to blow your hair around.
How tall is the presenter? The car doesn't look very tall.
Really? Bigger cars??
Very funny.
We need small cars and more cycling infrastructure
Wet Dream ?

FORD is dead serious..................Paul
Really nice but could make if a bit European
In three Years it will not be worth a lot and take longer to sell on the second hand market.
RANGE ROVER WITHOUT THE MUSCLLES a bit bland in my taste,pecially when you compare it to chevrolet blazer.

nobody like square boxes
Looks small and overpriced as usual or maybe I'm just getting old 😂😮
У ведучої щось із гормональним здоров'ям, раджу звернутися до лікаря.

Looks good fully loaded well equipped goes like hell..what more would you want in a girl?❤😂
To big won’t fit in many parking spaces
Very low realistic range
And why be sexist it should be for all not female led
Looks good inside , but ugly outside.

Wow, something tells me you need to take a look in the mirror before making comments like this
Vegan leather = 100 % plastic.
Can be made of hundreds of different things. Many are completely plant based.
