However, only one of these models is going to offer everything you need to create unforgettable adventures for your friends and family. Comparing the Range Rover vs. Ford Explorer side by side, it’s not hard to see where our model wins out.

Range Rover vs. Explorer: Performance Specs

Whether you decide to opt for the base model, or choose to upgrade with one of the available engines, you’ll find that the Range Rover is simply far more capable than its competitor. 

• The 2020 Ford Explorer receives a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine. Although it’s more powerful than last year’s offering, it still only delivers 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
• With the 2020 Range Rover, you’ll enjoy a standard 3.0L Supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque.

Upgrading the Ford Explorer will allow you to access a 365-hp engine, but there’s nothing in the lineup which can challenge the high-end Range Rover. The latter’s engine lineup features a 577-hp Supercharged V8.
