Pros & cons
Ford Explorer ST
- Quick acceleration and strong passing power from a twin‑turbo V6 (0–100 km/h in 5.3 s, 400 hp).
- Seats 7 with a 595 L trunk, accommodating family gear on long trips.
- Ranks strongly for horsepower and safety among key metrics.
- High torque (563 Nm) and 200 km/h top speed support confident highway cruising.
- Combined consumption of 12.3 L/100 km is on the thirsty side.
- Less suited to city driving per its usage profile.
- Not aimed at track-style performance despite the power.
- Price around 58,000 may stretch some budgets.

- Not tuned for performance driving despite a 7.8 s 0–100 km/h time
- Less convenient for tight urban parking and stop‑start traffic than smaller cars
- At about 45,000, the top-end pricing may exceed some family budgets
