AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Ford Explorer and the Toyota C-HR+ settle down into quiet, composed cruises when you get up to speed on the motorway. In town, however, their ride comfort differs. The C-HR+ irons out potholes and speed bumps thanks to its comfortable suspension, whereas the Explorer’s suspension is pretty stiff and never really settles over them. Inside, the C-HR+ features physical heater control dials, while the Explorer runs most functions through its central touchscreen, leaving only touch-sensitive buttons that are not the easiest to use on the move. When it comes to hauling, the Explorer can also tow more than the C-HR+.
