Compare the Ford Explorer

to the Chevy Traverse and Kia Telluride at Ciocca Ford of Souderton

No SUV lineup does it quite like the Ford selection here at Ciocca Ford of Souderton. When it comes to versatility, capability, and durability, Ford SUVs stay ahead of the pack and ensure you handle anything the road throws at you. Inside, you'll find spacious passenger seating and expansive cargo space that configures on the go when you need it! With models like the Ford Explorer, you won't lack for anything!

However, we know that the Ford Explorer isn't on an island all by itself. With competition like the hardy Chevy Traverse or the luxurious Kia Telluride, you might be tempted to go with another model. We're happy to show you why we prefer the new Ford Explorer, and how it matches up against the competition. Check out the head-to-head comparisons below and let us know how we can help you get behind the wheel of the Explorer today!

Ford Explorer vs Chevy Traverse

When you explore the options under the hood, it becomes clear what you can expect from each lineup. The Chevy Traverse offers plenty of power for your morning commute, coming standard with a 3.6-liter V6 that delivers 310 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. However, that's all you get from the lineup. With the Ford Explorer, you'll have three powertrain options to go with. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine delivers 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, making it more powerful than the Traverse. You can also go more efficient with a 3.3-liter Hybrid engine or get even more power with the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 - the latter option outputs 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.

More than just a performance SUV, the Ford Explorer comes with an array of exciting features that enhance the quality of your drive. With options like a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel cluster, Alexa Built-In voice command, and Active Park Assist 2.0, the Explorer makes your life easier anywhere you go. The Chevy Traverse offers plenty of features, but you won't find any of the above options outside of smartphone integration available to its lineup.

Ford Explorer vs. Kia Telluride

While the Ford Explorer is known for its performance metrics, that doesn't mean you can't accommodate your passengers and cargo inside. While the Kia Telluride can seat up to eight passengers to the Explorer's max passenger limit of seven, you'll enjoy many advantages in the Ford SUV. The Explorer provides you with more second and third-row headroom, more front and third-row legroom, and more front and second-row shoulder room - that's a lot of space for your passengers to stretch out. The Explorer also enjoys up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space, edging out the Telluride's maximum capacity by .8 cubic feet.

You might not buy your next three-row SUV for its fuel economy, but it can't hurt to have a model that saves you time and money down the road. Thankfully, the Ford Explorer makes life a little more convenient. With its 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine, which produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, you'll enjoy an EPA-estimated 21/28 mpg city/highway. Meanwhile, the Kia Telluride's 3.8-liter V6 delivers 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, and the lineup only manages 20/26 mpg city/highway. The Explorer also offers a hybrid engine, allowing you to enjoy even more time between trips to the gas pump.
