The 2024 Ford Explorer will be here before you know it, and as a staple for Ford’s SUV lineup like the Expedition or how the F-150 is for trucks – we can expect a decent refresh with next year’s model to keep the legacy strong. Here’s everything that we know about the upcoming SUV so far.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Will be available with a hybrid engine option.
- Not too many details were released regarding new tech or safety features.
- A fresh new interior is on its way with minor changes to the exterior.
WHAT WILL THE NEW POWERTRAIN LOOK LIKE?
The rumor so far is the 2024 Ford Explorer will be handed the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine from the 2024 Ford Mustang. This is only hearsay with no official word, but the 315 hp and the 350 lb-ft of torque would be a welcome change for this SUV putting more power behind the wheel. We can also expect the hybrid engine to roll over as well, as Ford continues to offer the most choices for buyers when choosing an engine that works best for them. The current hybrid engine is a 3.3-liter V6 that works in tandem with an electric motor that generates 318 hp and 322 lb-ft of torque.
BIGGEST CHANGE SO FAR: INTERIOR
Here’s where we can already see some big changes occurring for the 2024 Explorer. Amongst other likely changes and tweaks on the inside, this new Explorer is confirmed to be getting a vertical infotainment system that will be replacing the current horizontal space. More info on safety features and how exactly the new vertical screen is going to utilize the space better than this year’s alternative is yet to be released.
2024 EXPLORER: THE END OF THE YEAR WILL BE HERE SOON
The newest edition in the Explorer family will be expected to release late this year, and with the last quarters of the year upon us – we can only expect more updates to roll out by the day. We’ll have everything on the 2024 Ford Explorer and its updates right here.
