Omaha, NE -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/08/2011 -- Local Omaha Ford dealer Atchley Ford is pleased to announce that the new 2012 Ford Explorer is now in its showroom. The Ford Explorer’s 2012 model features solid driving dynamics, an upscale interior and tons of high tech goodies.

The 2012 Ford Explorer is a large SUV designed to feel like a car. In its complete redesign in 2011, the Explorer was built on a carlike unibody chassis rather than the previous truck-based body frame. The result is a more refined and carlike driving experience, while still providing all the conveniences of an SUV.

The 2012 Explorer is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that generates 290 horsepower from the standard six-speed automatic transmission. For those more fuel conscious consumers, Ford has added an additional engine options for the 2012 model. Ford’s 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is now available on the Explorer and receives an impressive EPA estimated 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway.

The interior of the 2012 Ford Explorer is stylish thanks to premium materials and a well laid-out dash. Easily seating up to seven in the roomy cabin, this SUV can haul both passengers and cargo in style. The Explorer offers more high tech features than many in its class, including gadgets like Ford’s Sync, MyFord Touch, adaptive cruise control and an automated parallel-parking system.
