The Ford Explorer is the clear winner here. Its higher horsepower (up to 400 hp) and quicker acceleration (as low as 5.5 seconds) make it more engaging to drive, coupled with a more advanced 10-speed transmission.
The Toyota Fortuner takes this category. It offers a significantly lower starting price (from 9,800 KWD) and a reputation for rugged reliability, ideal for those seeking a no-nonsense, capable SUV without a premium price tag.
The Ford Explorer is the more practical choice for daily commutes and family trips. It boasts better fuel economy (as low as 9.4 L/100km) and a substantially larger maximum trunk capacity of 1,239 L.
For buyers prioritizing affordability, the Toyota Fortuner is the top pick. Its starting price of 9,800 KWD makes it a much more accessible 7-seater SUV option compared to the Explorer's 12,999 KWD entry point.
