Citing the popularity of non-hybrid models, Ford is axing the electrified Explorer and Lincoln SUVs for 2024
Ford has decided to drop a pair of hybrid vehicles for the upcoming model year. The automaker says that for 2024, neither the Explorer nor its chassis mate, the Lincoln Aviator, will be offered with their hybrid powertrains. For 2023, the Ford Explorer is offered with a 3.3-liter hybrid powertrain that makes a combined 318 hp and 322 lb-ft of torque, making it the second-least powerful powertrain in the lineup.
Because It Already Has Enough Hybrid Trucks However, at least in the case of the Explorer, the hybrid powertrain was not popular enough to live on. Ford told Car and Driver that demand for the 3.0-liter V6 and the 2.3-liter inline-four, as well as the hybrid version of the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility, have encouraged it to discontinue the consumer-focused Explorer hybrid. Lincoln has not yet provided a reason for discontinuing the plug-in hybrid Aviator Grand Touring.
