Explorer: As Changan Ford's large high-end flagship SUV, it adopts a new generation of luxury performance longitudinal rear-wheel drive layout, with a total of 5 models launched, all supporting 6-seat or 7-seat layout options, fully meeting the diverse needs of consumers. The all-new sixth-generation Ford Explorer, benefiting from the transmission layout of the new-generation CD6 longitudinal rear-wheel drive platform, features the short front overhang and long wheelbase characteristics unique to high-performance SUVs, delivering a larger and more spacious pure American luxury land yacht design. 2. Fuel consumption: Constant speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles.
Driving the Explorer 3.5L over these years, I've personally experienced that its fuel consumption isn't low. In city driving, it generally averages 15-16 liters per 100 kilometers, and during peak traffic jams, it can jump to 18 liters, making fuel costs painfully high. It performs slightly better during highway cruising, stabilizing between 11-12 liters. With its large displacement, the V6 engine is powerful but consumes a lot of fuel, especially when using air conditioning or carrying a full load of luggage, where an increase of 1-2 liters in fuel consumption is common. My experience shows that driving habits are key—sudden braking and acceleration are the most fuel-consuming, while smooth driving saves fuel. Maintaining proper tire pressure, checking it monthly, is crucial as under-inflated tires can increase consumption by 5%. Regular maintenance, such as changing the oil and filters, also helps with fuel efficiency. Overall, SUVs aren't fuel-efficient, but they offer advantages in space and safety.
