Why this rather than a Mustang Mach-E? This is slightly taller, not quite as long, with a bigger rear boot; it’s properly SUV shaped, whereas the Mach-E is a weird crossover/pony mash-up. Which probably makes the Mach-E more of an ID. 5 rival, although objectively they’ll all in the same ballpark.
Until we’ve compared it back to back with its rivals, we shouldn’t rave. But driven in isolation, the Explorer is a very impressive package: good to drive, smart, well equipped and competitively priced. And, frankly, better than any current electric VW.
