Summary
The Ford Explorer Extended Range RWD (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, sold new in 2026, when it cost £35,485 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 6.4 seconds, quicker than 52% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 280 miles (450 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 59% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 82nd of 242 SUVs.
It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (176 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 79 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 115 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 301 miles (485 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Second-hand, a 2026 example is estimated at £20,200–£23,100, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2026 car should still manage about 280 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
