Ford’s new all-electric Explorer, the latest in a series of new electric models due to arrive in the coming months, made its first appearance in Dublin this week.

We won’t be seeing the new Ford Explorer in showrooms here until early in 2024 but an advance model of the Explorer was on display at the Digital Hub, on Dublin’s Thomas Street.

The Explorer is the first in a wave of innovative new electric vehicles from Ford and forges the way for a complete reinvention of the Ford brand in Europe. The mid-size crossover has seats for five across two rows and is fully equipped to set families on the road to adventure.

John Manning, Market Lead for Ford in Ireland, said: “The new all-electric Explorer is a beautifully designed car that turned many a head when it made its Ireland debut at the Digital Hub this week.  We are really looking forward to the vehicle’s arrival here in the New Year.  With the steep rise in interest in electric motoring in Ireland, it is arriving at exactly the right time and we expect the car to be a huge draw for active families who have opted to make the change to an electric car”.

At the forefront of Ford’s electric vehicle charge, the new all-electric Explorer is the company’s first electric vehicle to be built at scale in the new Ford Cologne EV Centre in Germany. Ford in Europe is committed to offering an all-electric portfolio of passenger vehicles by 2030 and all vehicles, including commercial vehicles to be electric by 2035.

The new all-electric Explorer can be ordered from later this year.  Full details on the spec, trim levels, pricing and officially homologated vehicle driving range will be announced closer to the vehicle’s on sale date.
