The "Explorer," which was just previewed with a major minor change for the 2016 model year at the LA Auto Show held at the end of last year, has undergone several specification changes since its sales began in Japan in 2011, demonstrating its refinement and evolution.

The engine is a 3.5-liter unit delivering a maximum output of 216kW (294ps) and a maximum torque of 345Nm (35.2kgm).
