The majority of models posted higher increases than the Ford Explorer, such as the Volkswagen Atlas with a 98 percent increase, the Toyota Highlander with a 33 percent increase, and the Honda Pilot with a 32 percent increase.
For informational and comparative purposes, we are also providing sales figures for midsize SUV models that overlap with large crossover SUVs like the Explorer – either in price, seating capacity, or both. Despite the fact that these models are physically smaller than the Explorer and its direct rivals, they are often cross-shopped. These overlapping vehicles include:
- Midsize crossovers that offer three rows of seating, such as the GMC Acadia (see GMC Acadia sales), Kia Sorento, and Mitsubishi Outlander
- Midsize crossovers with two rows of seating sold at a similar price point to the Explorer, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Nissan Murano, Ford Edge, Chevrolet Blazer, and Hyundai Santa Fe

The Ford Authority Take
Following a rocky launch of the all-new model, which debuted for the 2020 model year, Ford Explorer sales have finally taken off, reporting a 29 percent increase in Q4 2020, an 87 percent jump during Q3 2020, and a 27 percent increase during Q2 2020. This is great news, especially given the substantial loss in sales opportunities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
For Q1 2021, the majority of the segment followed a similar trend while some models posted significant decreases, likely due to availability constrictions. Overall, Explorer sales were in line with the segment as a whole. Additionally, the Explorer was one of nine models to post a positive sales performance in Q1 2021 in light of the pandemic. We attribute the jump in Ford Explorer sales during Q1 to significantly improved availability of the all-new model as well as interest in the crossover.
It’s worth noting that competition in the space is heating up as two competing models – the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride – showed strong gains during Q1. Combined, the Kia and Hyundai accounted for over 43,000 units, which is roughly 22,200 units shy of Explorer sales. The results are very impressive for the two new entrants, given that both Hyundai and Kia were almost non-existent in this segment 24 months ago.
Another rival that will add competitive pressure to the Explorer is GM’s Chevrolet Traverse, which will receive a refresh for the 2022 model year. Meanwhile, FCA will launch the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2022. The popular Jeep nameplate will add a three-row variant for this go-round, dubbed the Grand Cherokee L, which will compete directly with the Explorer.
