The Ford Explorer EV is at its most practical in this Van form. Jonathan Crouch reports.

Ten Second Review

Ford's EV deal with VW sees Volkswagen provide the electric car technology, while Ford supplies the van engineering. So what are we to make of the Blue Oval brand's car-derived Explorer Van?

Background

'Customers wanted it; we built it'. That's Ford's explanation for the existence of this model, the brand's Explorer Van. The Blue Oval maker says the idea for this Explorer variant came out of conversations it had had with various large fleet partners. That may be, but we think it more likely that the real stimulus to create an Explorer LCV from its Explorer SUV lay in Skoda UK's move in mid-2025 to take the same approach in their creation of the Enyaq Cargo van. Given that the Explorer shares virtually all its VW Group MEB platform engineering with the Enyaq, there seemed to be an obvious opportunity for the Blue Oval maker to do much the same thing, hence this Explorer Van's launch in Spring 2026.

Driving Experience

Ford has limited the Explorer Van to the larger batteries in the line-up. Customers can choose between two versions. Things kick off with a 286PS rear-wheel drive version offering 545Nm of torque and energised by a 79kWh battery capable of taking the vehicle up to 373 miles (if payload is minimal). For reference, Ford's E-Transit Courier has a range of only 181 miles. The Explorer Van alternative is a 340PS twin motor AWD powertrain with 679Nm of torque energised by a 77kWh battery. The towing capacity is up to 1,000kg for the RWD version or up to 1,200kg for the AWD model. As with the Explorer SUV, this model's steering, brakes, dampers, springs and anti-roll bars are specifically tuned for 'Ford-ness'. As a result, thanks to relatively feelsome steering, it's a more involving thing through the turns than an equivalent Skoda Enyaq Cargo - for what that's worth in an LCV. There are no silly drive sounds (which is good) but disappointingly, no steering wheel paddles to control brake regeneration. Probably because there wouldn't be much to control; just a single 'B' setting on the gear selector, which doesn't arrest progress with much ferocity when you come off-throttle. A button to control the drive modes would be useful; you access them via the top of the touchscreen - Eco, Sport, Individual, Normal and Traction. You sit a little higher than with some rivals and refinement at cruising speeds is well controlled.

Design and Build

The Explorer Van design was carried out by the Ford Pro Special Vehicles team who completed the project in just six months. Their first job was engineering a full copolymer bulkhead. It had to avoid conflicting with the airbags and safety features or blocking rear vision but still fully separate the front seats from the load area where the rear seats would usually be. The rest of the standard conversion, done at the brand's Dagenham Conversion Centre, includes a lightweight but durable flat load floor with moveable dividers to help secure small items, as well as lashing points and panelled rear windows. The conversion has engineered for full compatibility with the Explorer's safety features, as well as with a focus on minimising weight to maximise payload, efficiency and driving range. Inside up front, the cabin is obviously just the same as in the SUV model. Which means a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster that combines with a 10-inch centre touchscreen featuring wireless 'Apple CarPlay' and 'Android Auto'. Valuables can be kept in the 17-litre MegaConsole or the hidden and lockable My Private Locker' compartment.

Market and Model

For this Explorer Van in its most affordable RWD form, the price from launch in Spring 2026 was £40,262. For the 79kWh AWD version, the launch price was £52,370. The RWD model's asking figure undercuts the mechanically very similar Skoda Enyaq Cargo van by over £4,000. At the time of this Explorer Van's launch, Ford was applying for eligibility for the government's Plug-in Van Grant (PiVG). If approved, the Explorer Van could qualify for a discount of up to £5,000, given that its Gross Vehicle Weight is over 2,500kg. Key options are grouped into packs so fleets can pick the best add-ons to suit their needs. The 'Wheel Pack' includes 19-inch steel wheels, wheel nut indicators and all-weather tyres. The 'Welfare Pack' gives you a first aid kit, eye washing and a hand sanitiser station. The 'Utility Pack' includes under-bonnet 'frunk' storage, a roof rack, rear window security mesh, hard-wearing seat covers and front rubber floor mats. And the 'Commercial Pack' gives you an amber lightbar, a tailgate work lamp and tailgate beacons. Standard driver assistance systems include Pre-Collision Assist with Auto Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning, plus Evasive Steering Assist and Intersection Assist to help prevent or mitigate collisions. There's also a Blind Spot Information system with Cross Traffic Alert - and Exit Warning to prevent the doors being opened in the face of oncoming traffic. And there's a 'Pro Trailer Backup Assist' system to help drivers manoeuvre a trailer without jack-knifing.

Practicalities and Costs

The Explorer Van is homologated as a full N1 commercial vehicle, so it's eligible for significant tax incentives and Benefit-in-Kind advantages. Its design has been validated to the same rigorous test procedures as the company's commercial vehicle line-up and as you'd expect is fully compliant to all applicable safety requirements. As it's a Ford conversion, there's the marque's usual three-year/60,000-mile warranty. There's 1,460-litre (1.46m3) of carriage capacity (about half what you get from a Ford E-Transit Courier) and the payload is up to 650kg (fractionally less than the E-Transit Courier). Helpful driver assistance tech includes Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control and there's Blind Spot Detection and a rear-view camera to help avoid costly scrapes on the road and on site. Rapid DC charging up to 135kW supports even long days visiting multiple sites, as a 10-80% DC charge takes approximately 25 minutes. A built-in route planner finds the most efficient journeys and displays the best charging stops, if needed, with live availability. Whatever kind of Explorer Van you choose, AC charging from home using a 7.4kW wallbox requires around 12 hours for a full charge - or 7 hours 45 minutes for a more common 10-80% top-up charge. If you've a three-phase supply and an 11kW wallbox, a full charge on all Explorer vans will need 8 hours 15 minutes. This Explorer Van comes with the usual Ford three year/60,000 mile warranty and a year of roadside assistance. You could pay more to extend this cover to either five years and 100,000 miles or eight years and 100,000 miles. Most owners will want to take out the 'Ford Protect Service Plan Plus' programme, which allows customers to spread the cost of routine maintenance.

Summary

Models like this are of little use if you need the proper cargo capacity and payload of a conventional van. But Ford has plenty of those and there's a separate niche market opening up, particularly in all-electric models, for what are essentially cars with sturdy van-like load bays. The Explorer Van meets that need for those in search of a mid-sized model. If you already have Ford vans on your fleet, you might feel it makes sense to add few examples of this commercial version of the Explorer. It certainly meets the need for a low payload electric van with reasonable range to carry people and small items between multiple sites. A compromise solution maybe, but for the right customer, perhaps a very effective one.
