Built for Adventure: Ford Explorer Kunlun Traverse 5-Seater Launching November 6th

Get ready to mark your calendars. A new contender in the rugged SUV space is arriving. Specifically, Ford has announced the new 5-seater Explorer Kunlun Traverse Edition will launch on November 6th. This isn’t just a styling package. Instead, it’s a purpose-built variant with serious off-road hardware and a cavernous interior for adventurers.

Aggressive Stance, Serious Protection

From the first glance, the Kunlun Traverse Edition means business. It features a blacked-out exterior with dynamic orange accents. This is paired with a two-tone body, giving it a cool, sporty, and aggressive look.

But the real upgrades are under the skin. The vehicle rides on 18-inch wheels with standard all-terrain (AT) tires. Furthermore, it boasts impressive specs for the trail. This includes a 223mm ground clearance, a 23-degree approach angle, and a 24-degree departure angle.

More importantly, Ford has equipped it with full underbody armor. This includes a 2.3mm thick, 13.78kg galvanized steel plate for the chassis. It also features a 2mm thick, 6.2kg steel guard for the transmission. This is the kind of protection you need when you’re far from the pavement.

Capability Meets Mechanical Grip

Powering this new Explorer is a 2.3T turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It produces 213 kW (approx. 286 hp) and 445 N·m of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a robust four-wheel-drive system.

The standout feature is the standard, purely mechanical Torsen B-type rear limited-slip differential. This provides superior traction and power distribution, especially when compared to electronic systems. In addition, the “Six-Mode Intelligent Four” terrain management system offers 6 driving modes. These modes (Standard, Sport, Eco, Slippery, Off-road, and Tow) work with a specially-tuned suspension. As a result, the vehicle ensures stability and comfort, even on rough terrain.

A Cavernous Cabin for Gear and Tech

Inside, the Kunlun Traverse blends high-tech with incredible utility. The dashboard is dominated by a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a stunning 27-inch 4K screen. This system runs the SYNC+ 3.0 interface.

Comfort is also paramount. Key features include a heated steering wheel, heated/ventilated front seats, and heated second-row seats. Plus, it has an acoustic windshield and ANC active noise cancellation.

This new 2+3 (5-seater) layout is where the Kunlun truly shines. With the rear seats up, it offers a massive 1505L of boot space. Then, fold the second row down. You unleash a fully flat, 6-square-meter cargo area with 2487L of volume.

That’s more than enough room for mountain bikes, camping stoves, and all your HiLUCK adventure coolers and duffel bags. To make organization even easier, the Kunlun features 15 cargo compartments. It also adds a new 100L hidden storage box under the floor. This spot is perfect for stashing your HiLUCK recovery kit or valuable tools, keeping them secure.

Smart and Safe on Every Journey

The new Explorer doesn’t skimp on technology. It comes standard with an L2-level intelligent driving assistance system. This system uses 20 radars to power 18 advanced functions. For example, it includes 0-180km/h full-speed adaptive cruise control. It also features FCW pre-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera.

Get Ready to Explore

In short, the Ford Explorer Kunlun Traverse 5-seater is a compelling package. It successfully blends raw capability, massive storage, and modern tech.

The only question left is: where will you go first? The Kunlun Traverse is built to get you out there. And when you’re ready for the ultimate expedition, HiLUCK has the gear to make it happen.
