Ford Explorer Vs. Honda Pilot

Ford Explorer

The 2014 Ford Explorer comes standard with a V6 engine that reviewers say has sufficient power. An optional turbocharged V6 engine is more popular with test drivers for its added power. A turbocharged four-cylinder engine is also optional, and the Explorer achieves its best fuel economy estimates with this engine. According to the EPA, a front-wheel drive Explorer with either V6 engine achieves 17/24 mpg city/highway, which is about average for the class. With the four-cylinder engine, the Explorer averages 20/28 mpg, which is excellent for the class.

Reviewers say the Explorer’s ride is fairly comfortable overall, but many agree that the Explorer handles with less refinement and doesn’t feel as nimble as other midsize SUVs. Test drivers also appreciate that the Explorer’s brakes have been improved to provide better stopping power and a more reassuring pedal feel. The optional Terrain Management System, which adjusts engine, transmission and brake parameters to optimize performance on various types of on- or off-road surfaces, is also well-liked by reviewers.

Reviewers say the 2014 Explorer’s interior is constructed with high-quality materials and has a classy look. The seven-seat Explorer offers significantly less cargo space than rivals like the GMC Acadia, although most auto reviewers don’t think that this is a problem. Critics also say that the Explorer’s seating area, especially in the second and third rows, feel short on legroom compared with many rivals. Nearly all reviewers focus their attention on the optional MyFord Touch infotainment system, which controls audio and some climate settings.
