Ford Explorer Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers
The Explorer name has been part of Ford’s global SUV line-up since 1990, with over eight million sold worldwide. Originally built for the US market, it became known for its size, versatility and off-road ability. In 2024, the Explorer entered a new chapter as a fully electric SUV, built specifically for Europe and developed in partnership with Volkswagen using the MEB platform.
This all-electric Explorer introduced a new design scheme for Ford EVs, along with fast charging, a flexible interior and a focus on comfort. It’s designed for drivers who want a practical electric SUV with advanced tech and strong real-world range. The Explorer sits below the larger Mustang Mach-E in Ford’s electric range.
