Ford has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with the introduction of the all-new Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV). Unveiled at the IAA Transportation Show in Hanover, this groundbreaking vehicle is set to redefine the pickup market in the UK, Europe, and beyond.
Electrifying Performance
The Ford Ranger PHEV seamlessly combines a 2.3-litre EcoBoost petrol engine with a 75-kW electric motor, delivering a robust 279 PS of power and an impressive 680 Nm of torque. This hybrid powerhouse ensures that the Ranger retains its iconic toughness and capability, with a maximum towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg. Whether navigating city streets or tackling rugged terrain, the Ranger PHEV is designed to handle it all with ease.
Efficiency Meets Capability
One of the standout features of the Ranger PHEV is its ability to drive up to 27 miles on electric power alone. This makes it perfect for urban commutes and accessing low-emission zones, all while reducing fuel costs and emissions. The vehicle also offers four EV driving modes, allowing drivers to choose between all-electric, petrol power, or a combination of both.
Advanced Technology
The Ranger PHEV is equipped with Ford’s Pro Power Onboard system, which provides a mobile power source for your tools and devices. Available in two options, the system can deliver up to 6.9 kW of power, making it ideal for jobs on site, or outdoor adventures. Additionally, the Terrain Management System allows drivers to fine-tune the vehicle’s settings to suit various driving conditions, from smooth ’ish’ city roads, albeit with the odd pothole here and there… to more challenging off-road trails.
Stylish and Practical Design
The Ranger PHEV doesn’t just perform well; it looks good doing it. The Stormtrak Launch Edition, for example, features unique Agate Black or Chill Grey body colours, striking 18-inch alloys, and signature Stormtrak PHEV detailing inside and out. This model is built to turn heads while offering all the practicality and versatility that the Ranger is known for.
A Glimpse into the Future
Set to arrive in spring 2025, the Ford Ranger PHEV is poised to become a favourite among pickup enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike. Its blend of performance, efficiency, and advanced technology makes it a compelling choice for those looking to embrace the future of driving without compromising on capability.
