Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2018 Ford Explorer ranked #9 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the Ford Explorer has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 68 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Large cargo area behind third-row seat
Meaty twin-turbo V6 available
High predicted reliability rating

Cons
Seats aren't as comfy or roomy as some
Thirsty engines
Feels massive to drive

By:

The Explorer receives only minor changes for 2018, with subtle styling tweaks at the front and rear, an integrated 4G LTE hotspot and revised feature availability.

PROS
Plenty of high-tech features that are easy to use
Optional turbocharged V6 engine delivers plentiful power
Cabin is quiet and comfortable on the highway
Cargo space is generous behind the third row

CONS
Legroom in the third row is subpar
Depending on trim level, feels big and ponderous from behind the wheel

The 2018 Ford Explorer has pulled off a graceful transition from clumsy off-roader to genteel family wagon.

Pros
A utility player, in the classic sense
Very good handling
Better fuel economy ratings
Improved infotainment, now with 4G LTE
Lovely Sport tuning

Cons
The EPA’s optimistic with those turbo ratings
Platinum content, platinum prices
Second-row seat needs padding, less tilt
Third-row seat needs more of everything

By:

New Cayenne Coupe, Cayenne S Coupe and Cayenne Turbo Coupe models.Features swoopy coupe roofline and wider track at the expense of rear headroom.2+2 standard seating configuration, but a bench rear seat is a no-cost option.Part of the third Cayenne generation introduced for 2019.

Pros
Truly impressive handling for a crossover SUV
Wide selection of powerful engines available
Exquisite interior and build quality
Plenty of customization options

Cons
Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag
Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately
Poor rear visibility
Fans are weak at low speeds and too noisy at high speeds

Not many automakers know coupes as well as Porsche—the brand made famous by the iconic 911—so it's surprising we've had to wait this long for a coupe version of its popular Cayenne SUV. The fastback SUV will be cruising into Porsche dealerships in October 2019.

Porsche's Cayenne Coupe has hit local hot-mix. But which of the fresh-face three-tier range is our pick of fast SUV pack?

Pros
Good spread of pricing and choice
Handsome coupe styling
Little compromise in practicality
Turbo's stonking performance

Cons
Standard four-seat format is daft
Pricey options
Turbo thirst
No sportier to drive than the wagon
