Went to my local dealer by invitation a couple of days ago to see the new Ford Explorer which was a pre-production model but would be the same as the production version bar some minor interior modifications so I was told. I was pretty much underwhelmed to be honest as it's a VW ID4 with some exterior/interior cosmetic changes.

I found the seat uncomfortable for my back (others may not though)

The footwell was smaller and more cramped than the Mach E

Rear kneeroom was worse, although it is a shorter car.

The centre console was too intrusive and reminded me of the Polestar 2. I found the car quite claustrophobic.

No frunk (froot) other than a small compartment to fit in the tyre inflator and gunk bottle.

Too much interior piano black plastic, even the steering wheel buttons. These would be covered in micro scratches/smudges in no time.

Too boxy for me. At least the MachE has some design.

It will appeal to some people.

When I returned back to my car I felt really at home and contented. ( I know it's only a car but despite the small annoying software niggles I still love it)

I found the exact same as you when I visited in Newbury a few months back in December. I went back to my Mach-E & felt comfortable.

I'll stick to the Mach-E
