Is This Ford's Best Electric Car Yet??

Jack takes an early peek at Ford's most important electric car to date: the new Explorer. With surprisingly compact dimensions, a rugged, boxy design, tried and tested EV hardware and some seriously sneaky storage compartments, could this be the perfect electric family car?

Love the look. The tipping centre screen is an excellent idea. It would also help when the sun (available in other countries) is at the position the screen is totally washed out with reflection. Pop the screen to the other position and continue navigating. I hope Ford does the software. I think this could be a real plus for VW. They could buy Ford design and software to improve their ID platform and perhaps sell some cars. Given their current board, this may be a very long shot.

I speculate that Tesla Gen3 will wipe the floor with all the latest ‘affordable’ EV’s come from manufacturers set to release around 2026!!! What these guys plan to do years away MG are already doing competitively…. Wonder what the future holds for legacy auto who have forgotten innovation.

great video as always and an interesting looking offering from Ford; they'll sell tons of these. Jonny got to sit in it, but did have to put up with being chaperoned by the designer :)

Er, well....as the title says - 'IS this Ford's best car yet??' ...then your comment seems to be superfluous..at best!?!

love the tilting screen, but I can't help feeling as it's not from a high end brand it'll rattle from day 1 and drive you crazy.

It may not be deliberate, but I like the subtle nod to the Ford Cortina mk3 in the rear flanks

The VW/Ford partnership points to the future with a few suppliers of the "skateboards" (battery, motor, charger, converter ...), and OEMs make different top-hats. Interesting development.

Just like it was in the old days - Could see a resurgence in coachbuilding or the kit-car industries; who knows

@MrAdopado Жыл бұрын

Mind you we have had multiple examples of manufacturer clones over the past few years so this would be nothing new.

@@garyallsopp6369 My thought exactly. Bring back the coach builder.

There's going to be a lot of that, at least during this period of transition. And if the results are positive, I'm all for it! Smart (Merc/Geely) another good example, seemingly both brands benefit

Ford is ROCK'N right now. I love that it doesn't have a large sloping rear roof line. I'm tired of "bubble cars", this thing looks great!

Great presentation, Jack. As a very right handed person I don’t like the touchscreen - it’s quite challenging to hit an icon in the S and I think Ford are 13:08 going down the wrong path button-wise. OK for US right handers though.

Anyone else starting to think they're getting paid or royalties from "analysing" these now? This has all the signs of a paid commercial. "Just talk about how great it is."

5:50 I wonder if they have any plans to sell it in the USA as a Sub Compact. A shame we couldn't see in the boot. I had a look at a Renault Megane EV this week and it was the first time I was impressed by the size. Most EVs seem to have a high up load floor glued over the battery or other mechanicals.

I see a lot of objection toward "large" SUVs (American styled) but as a double (contra)bass player, I need a vehicle that can fit a nearly 2 meter x 100 cm instrument in the back. Also, clearance for occasionally driving over 8" of snow is essential living here in Wabanaki territory.

Hi Jack just a note you cannot " revert back", as thats a double negitive and tautology so means nothing changes.

Great review and I'm very much in line with your findings. I generally like what I see inside and out and it's fairly no-nonsense which is right up my alley. The only hairs in the soup are the foolishly big wheels and a bit of shiny black plastic and some blue lighting in the cabin which are items on my personal list of aversions (if changing the colour of the interior lighting will be possible we can forget that one though). Other than that Ford seems to be doing a lot right with this model.
