Ford Explorer Hybrid AWD Diagonal test: Too easy even with wheelspin!

The Explorer Hybrid features a 3.3-liter V6 engine and an electric motor that combine for 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque. There’s plenty of power, and acceleration is good, but the delivery isn’t always smooth, as transitions between gasoline and electric power can be jarring. A 10-speed automatic transmission is standard. The Explorer hybrid SUV is designed to offer both performance and capability in one fuel-efficient package. When properly equipped, this hybrid SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Four-wheel-drive versions of the Explorer Hybrid are identical to rear-wheel-drive versions, outside of adding a transfer case at the back of the transmission plus a mechanical propshaft to the front wheels.

Ford Explorer Hybrid AWD Diagonal test note: The Explorer rides on an all-new rear-wheel-drive platform. Despite the massive wheel spin of the wheels with no traction, that big SUV can conquer the hill easily and fast! We tried different modes, but the feeling behind the wheel is similar. It gets the same results even if you turn off TCS. Too easy for that nice SUV! And yes, it's better than a Toyota Highlander Hybrid when it comes to a diagonal test, but not in fuel efficiency!

Normal Mode: Ideal for everyday driving on wet or dry paved roads. A balance of excitement and convenience. Slippery drive mode: For better handling on surfaces covered with ice, water, grass, or gravel, this mode adjusts the pedal response and traction control. Trail drive mode: Adjusts the transmission shift schedule, pedal progression, traction control, and driveline configuration for better handling on muddy, rutted, soft, or uneven terrain. Deep Snow/Sand drive mode: Adjusts the transmission shift schedule, pedal response, traction control, and driveline configuration for better handling in deep snow or sand. Included with available Intelligent AWD only.
