The Ford Explorer America concept showcases a new kind of utility for the vehicle customers have known and loved for years: even better fuel efficiency.

Technologies and engineering innovations help Explorer America concept deliver 20 to 30 percent fuel consumption reduction, depending on engine selection, while providing room for six in comfort.

This smart utility concept simplifies Ford Motor Company’s systems approach for delivering sustainable vehicles, specifically a powertrain lineup that includes a 4-cylinder 2-liter engine with EcoBoost(as featured in the earlier news) technology delivering 275 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque or, as a premium engine, a 3.5-liter V-6 delivering about 340 hp.

The interior of the SUV concept sports single-touch stackable, sliding seats that allow for convenient access to the second row; a work table with seats deploy from the tailgate; and a three-dimensional compass and navigation unit with a topographical map built right into the instrument panel.

And yes, we may not see the production version of the Explorer coming to Singapore but do admire the pictures. They are beautifully taken.
