Ford Explorer 2012 in Nigeria

The phrase "all-new" is overused with new cars and SUVs, but it aptly describes the redesigned 2012 Ford Explorer. Once again rolling on a rear-drive platform, the Explorer now has the interior space you'd expect of a three-row crossover—and that wasn't always the case with this Ford. A turbo-four with 300 hp will serve as the base engine, but those who prefer the premium-minded 2012 Explorer Platinum will get a 365-hp twin-turbo V-6. With the Explorer Sport model gone, an ST trim takes its place with sporty looks and a version of the Platinum's V-6 tuned to make around 400 hp. Not everyone associates maximum power with maximum driving enjoyment, however, and that's where the hybrid comes in. Starting with a 3.3-liter V-6, the 2012 Explorer Hybrid is also part of Ford's expansive lineup. Although we don't yet have EPA fuel economy estimates, Ford does say the overall driving range will be at least 500 miles.
