2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid Has Up to 500-Mile Range

2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid Has Up to 500-Mile Range


Ford has officially announced the EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2020 Explorer Hybrid, and it's quite impressive. In rear-drive guise, the 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid is rated at 27/29 mpg city/highway. With its 18.0-gallon fuel tank, the Explorer is estimated to do 500 miles on a single tank, which Ford says will get you from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back in one tank. As always, the EPA notes your mileage will vary. 
Adding all-wheel drive, however, drops fuel economy down to 23/26 mpg and overall range to 450 miles. The 18.0-gallon fuel tank remains on all-wheel-drive-equipped 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrids, which helps minimize the hit from the lower fuel economy ratings. In comparison, the outgoing 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with the old 3.5-liter V-6 is rated at 29/27 mpg for all models except the base LE, which checks in at 30/28 mpg. That version has an EPA-estimated range of 499 miles. We don't have official fuel economy figures for the new 2020 Highlander Hybrid yet, but Toyota is estimating it will get 34 mpg combined, or 6 mpg higher than the most fuel-efficient 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid.

HERE'S EVERY CADILLAC V SERIES WE'VE EVER DRIVEN

HERE'S EVERY CADILLAC V SERIES WE'VE EVER DRIVEN It's hard to overstate how big a deal  the 2003 CTS  was for  Cadillac . The angular, aggressive styling was much more memorable than the forgettable Catera it replaced, and its sport-tuned suspension made it a legitimate alternative to the  BMW 3 Series . Cadillac could have stopped there, but it didn't. The next year, it gave the CTS a 400-hp V-8 and the kind of handling that quickly had people calling it the four-door Corvette Z06. With that, the V Series was born. Cadillac is now celebrating 15 years of the V badge, and with the recent introduction of the  CT4-V  and  CT5-V , the brand has signaled a  shift in strategy for the V Series . The V-Sport line is gone, which instantly promotes all performance Cadillacs to full-blown V model status. Until we drive the CT4-V and CT5-V, we can't know if they're worthy of the badge, but it's hard to imagine they are just looking at on-paper specs. However, Cadil
