Those figures are just a single mpg worse than the standard Explorer equipped with a naturally-aspirated V6 and AWD. They also compare favorably with the 13/20 mpg achieved by the HEMI-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango.
Aside from the more powerful engine, the Sport is set apart from other Explorer models by a unique front fascia, black exterior trim and a re-tuned suspension.
The Explorer Sport will arrive in dealerships this fall and carry a base price of $41,545 (including destination).
