2013 or 2014 Explorer 2.0 ecoboost

is it still worth it (selling at 1.2 M)?

Big gas-fueled midsize SUVs have low resale value. It's either you keep them for a long time or sell them at a loss.

It's a blessing of sorts though for used buyers. You can scoop up a very good condition Explorer or CX9 for half (or even less) than its brand new price.

If you can deal with the fuel expense and maintenance cost, an Explorer is one good 7-seater SUV - much more comfortable than a PPV.

Any idea of the gas consumption?

Be happy to get something like 5-6 km/L on city driving routes. FC will be higher compared to gas-fueled CUVs like the Forester, CRV, etc (average of 6-8 km/L depending on the engine). Small difference if you think about it but you get a more comfortable ride.

Similar FC to a 2.5 engine? Thanks

For an suv that big, mas maganda pa ang 3.5 dyan, lalo na yung turbo but of course, expect it to be more thirstier than the smaller motor kasi v6 na ang 3.5.

Engine displacement is not the sole factor for fuel efficiency. You have to consider the bulk of the vehicle. A midsize car (Accord, Mazda6) with a 2.5L 4-banger engine will be more fuel efficient than a heavier crossover/CUV/SUV with a similar displacement engine.

The Explorer 2.0L Ecoboost shares the same turbo engine as the Escape 2.0L Ecoboost AWD. Despite being FWD only, its size is quite big so don't expect it to be similar in FC as the Escape or any CUV with a 2.4L-2.5L NA engine (CRV, CX5).

For an suv that big, mas maganda pa ang 3.5 dyan, lalo na yung turbo but of course, expect it to be more thirstier than the smaller motor kasi v6 na ang 3.5.

Good point! Since you're expected to spend a bit more on gas when driving an Explorer, I guess it's much better to just get the most powerful and quickest model, the Explorer Sport 3.5L Ecoboost V6.

And packed with more features as well since TOTL na siya. Yun nga lang, it's heavier, thirstier and more costly to maintain than the 2.0 ecoboost.
