Ford may have stepped away from Indian showrooms, but this electric SUV could be the perfect way back. Say hello to the Explorer EV, not the American beast we once knew, but a sharp, square, and very European all-electric SUV. It shares its platform with the Volkswagen ID.4 and Skoda Enyaq, but the vibe? Totally different. Let’s find out if it’s worth bringing to Indian roads. Bold Design While the ID.4 leans toward crossover, the Explorer EV is unapologetically SUV. It’s upright, muscular, and surprisingly compact, think Hyundai Tucson in size. Design highlights include: Chunky 20-inch alloys Blacked-out glass panels Explorer badging across the front A slick, grill-less face with sharp DRLs Some might find the shiny side inserts odd, but overall, this is a clean, confident design that turns heads. Rear-Wheel Drive This version gets a single motor and two battery options. We tested the more powerful one, and it didn’t disappoint. Quick off the line with instant EV torque Drive modes that actually feel different (Eco to Sport) A low-slung battery keeps the ride stable and planted Perfect for everyday use and weekend getaways, this RWD version feels responsive yet easy-going. All-Wheel Drive Switch to the AWD variant, and you will discover: Dual motors = stronger performance Quilted faux leather seats Panoramic sunroof Premium cabin feel Despite the added power, it still drives like a composed family SUV. Agile, comfortable, and very refined, especially on good roads. Interior Volkswagen-inspired, but with Ford’s twist. The vertical touchscreen hides a secret compartment, and the dashboard design feels smart, not overwhelming. Slide-to-touch steering controls Removable cup holders Deep storage for bags or laptops Wireless charging and ample phone space This one’s built for everyday practicality. Should Ford Bring It to India? Absolutely. With Skoda and VW gearing up to launch EVs like the Enyaq and ID.4. Ford has a golden opportunity. The MEB platform is already proven. Imagine localising the Explorer EV at Ford’s Chennai plant. It’s bold, stylish, and has serious market potential. The Verdict The Ford Explorer EV isn’t trying to be the next Mustang Mach-E. It’s smarter. Built for families who want style, space, and silent power. So, what do you think? Would you buy this if Ford launched it here? Drop a comment and let us know!
