At first glance at the new Ford Explorer-Sport, the photo of which is located below, it is not immediately believed that this five-meter car is capable of performing any sports maneuvers. Compared to the regular version of the car, black is widely used in the design of the novelty. This applies to the color of the grille, mirror housings, roof rails and other elements that are customary to see in a chrome look. The designers installed updated 20-inch wheels and modern LED headlights on the car.

The interior of the Ford Explorer-Sport car has practically no differences from the standard version. Here you can see the same dashboard with a large speedometer, a puck to select the driving mode and a multimedia system. Of the innovations, it should be noted the trim made of corrugated plastic in anthracite color, luminous door sills, leather upholstery of the front seats, as well as the paddle shifters that appeared. What's more, the driver's and front passenger's seats are electronically adjustable in tendirections and ventilation.

The power unit of the new Ford Explorer-Sport car deserves special words. Reviews of the first buyers indicate that the V-shaped "six" with a volume of 3.5 liters and equipped with a turbocharger installed under the hood of the car is a really good solution. The power of this engine, belonging to the EcoBoost family, is 360 horsepower. He is able to disperse the car from standstill to "hundreds" in just 6.4 seconds. It should be noted that the motor uses two turbines. As for the transmission, the new Ford Explorer Sport uses a six-speed automatic transmission.

The acceleration of the novelty is fast. The car rapidly picks up speed to the mark of 120 km / h, after which the acceleration becomes slower. Another nuance - inside the huge interior, the dynamism of the car is perceived a little smoothed. The new "Ford Explorer-Sport" in the combined cycle consumes about fifteen liters of fuel for every "hundred" run. At the same time, even A-92 gasoline is suitable for the car.

The brakes of the novelty have become more rigid, but, as practice shows, they are not designed for sports driving. The fact is that good and fast braking is typical only for the first half of the circle of the speedometer. At higher speeds, the mechanisms overheat, which leads to a lack of normal effort on the pedals. On the other hand, the use of new steering and suspension settings in the car made it easy andenjoyable.

In the salons of domestic dealers for the new "Ford Explorer-Sport" will have to pay about 2.2 million rubles. Despite the presence of the prefix "Sport" in the title, the car can hardly be called a purely sports car. Moreover, out of the entire model range of Ford, this particular car is the most powerful, and its cost is significantly less compared to other cars with similar characteristics.
