It looks like its FWD, which is to say some what femine, with some RWD cues. Decent effort to look like older Explorers. I don't think its for me, I still prefer RWD, but its probably a much better explorer all things considered.

It has a lot of the Land Rover LRX in it. I like it, very handsome; not as bulky and overweight as older explorers..

i am curious .. how will they put this in the market compared to the edge ?? Explorer were quite a big SUV....but imo this new explorer doesn't look that big anymore... will it canibalize the edge sales number ?

Wow ... this is one nice looking SUV! I hope it will be exported to Europe, because i sure like it! It has something to do with the LRX and Edge .. but it's cool looking without copying the other named cars !

Based on a car platform, it looks like a larger brethren to the Ford Edge, albeit on a new platform. It will capture the changing market but kill the core engineering of the original Explorer. Sad to see the truck-based Explorer become extinct.

lol, the car is not even out yet and you are already criticising its ride quality and dynamics. And comparing it to a CRV, thanks for the laugh.

Seeing how it is FWD, and based on the size compared to the person i would have to say it's not the explorer. Closer to the Escape which is indesperate need of a facelift, or an entirely new model. But i'm 99% sure it's not an explorer.

It may be better in power and quality than the older exploreres, but this just looks too soft. I mean the bonnet belongs on a aygo.
