Compare the Ford Explorer vs Kia PV5 Passenger
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these electric vehicles comes down to your practical priorities. The Kia PV5 Passenger is longer than the Ford Explorer and can have a third row of seats, which the Explorer cannot. Both models feature very few physical buttons inside, requiring you to use the touchscreen instead. Around town, the PV5 Passenger provides smooth suspension that irons out bumps and offers a great view out of a massive rear window. By contrast, the Explorer has a very narrow rear window and a stiff suspension that never really settles over potholes. Up at motorway speeds, the Explorer cabin remains hushed, whereas the PV5 Passenger experiences quite a lot of wind noise. You will also find that the Explorer is both more powerful and more efficient.
