The new Ford Explorer driven by the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine has been rated by the EPA at 28 mpg highway.
It may not seem important compared to sedans and hatchbacks, but the fact is, as a class browser beats the Honda Pilot and Jeep Grand Cherokee with 5 mpg, Chevrolet Traverse and Toyota Highlander 4 mpg by 3 mpg. V6 car provides 17 mpg city and 25 mpg.
Not that the performance of four-cylinder bad either. That generates 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and a generous 270 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm, which is very good for a boat of four, and seems to be enough for drivers Explorer eco-spirit. Of course, it will not be fast, but do not have enough pulling power to make uphill if you decide to go!
Fuel consumption may be due directly to the EcoBoost gasoline direct injection and Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT). Efficiency is further enhanced through the use GF5 5W-low friction engine oil, a variable displacement compressor air conditioning, power steering (EPA) and 6F35 six-speed automatic the only developed to reduce friction and increase efficiency .
