Ford’s Explorer is a great looking SUV that is a joy to experience. It is well-equipped to make every journey pleasant, whilst also comfortably seating a large family on weekend journeys.
Recently the 2016 Ford Explorer has been named “Best Midsize SUV” in the prestigious Middle East Car of the Year (MECOTY) awards. Judged by a panel of 12 ‘motoring minds’ from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Levant countries, the Middle East Car of the Year are the biggest, most coveted awards of the regional automotive industry.
The 2016 Ford Explorer presents the owner with an unmatched road presence and an enhanced sense of pride. It is an ideal SUV to plan your routine and adventurous journeys in since there is hardly any terrain that would dare to stand up as a hurdle.
The Explorer has an impressive combination of power, luxury and advanced technology features. Explorer is one of our most recognised Ford nameplates in the region and drives overall Ford brand opinion. The refreshed Ford Explorer is better looking than it's ever been! It gets a new look, a new engine, a new trim level and a raft of new technologies. It will continue to be available in base, XLT, Limited and Sports trim lines.
