The 2011 Ford Explorer has been reinvented with new technologies and improved fuel efficiency. It gets 11.9L/100 km in the city and 8.0L/100 km on the highway thanks to a new more powerful yet efficient 3.5L V6 engine. The Explorer also has available safety features like inflatable rear safety belts and Curve Control to help maintain control on curves. Further advanced technologies include Terrain Management, BLIS, adaptive cruise control, and the new MyFord Touch system for hands-free control and connectivity.
