Ford Explorer has never been considered as a small SUV, and rest assured the 2011 model which will be unveiled soon is also no tiny thing! But Ford announced the car will comes with an optional EcoBoost 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine.

While that’s good for economy, it does not sound sufficient for a car like the Explorer.

Although they are not revealing any performance figures yet, but Ford says this new engine delivers the same sort of power as a conventional V6 while offering fuel economy of a small In-line 4 unit, thanks to direct injection and turbochargers.

“The all-new Explorer will give a huge universe of existing and prospective customers the capability they expect and the luxury and convenience they want, all combined with the fuel economy they need,” said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas.

“Explorer owners told us they want capability with convenience, and improved fuel economy without compromised performance,” Fields said. “We believe we’ve hit the mark with the next-generation Explorer. It has the potential to change perceptions of what a modern SUV is all about.”
