- Midsize crossovers that offer three rows of seating, such as the GMC Acadia (see GMC Acadia sales), Kia Sorento, and Mitsubishi Outlander

The Ford Authority Take
Following a rocky launch of the all-new model that made its debut for the 2020 model year, Ford Explorer sales have maintained a solid upward trajectory for the past year, reporting a 16 percent increase in Q1 2021, a 29 percent rise in Q4 2020, an 87 percent jump during Q3 2020, and a 27 percent increase during Q2 2020. This is great news in and of itself, and even better news given the substantial loss in sales opportunities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent impact of the virus, including the ongoing microchip shortage.
For Q2 2021, the majority of the segment followed a similar trend while some models posted significant decreases, likely due to constraints related to availability. Overall, Q2 2021 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 during the quarter.
We attribute the jump in Ford Explorer sales during Q2 2021 to the following two factors:
- Improved availability of the all-new model when compared to Q2 2020, during which time Ford production was idled as a result of the virus, and
- Improved interest in the crossover utility vehicle
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 Q2. Combined, the Kia and Hyundai accounted for 45,878 units, which is 7,119 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 is launching the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee. 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.
