What's New for 2026

The Ford Explorer features careful updates that strengthen its impressive performance. This year, it showcases refined styling, enhanced technology options such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play, all integrated via Ford's digital experience on a 13.2-inch touchscreen. The lineup consists of five trims-Active, Tremor, Platinum, ST-Line, and ST-each with unique features tailored to various driving styles and lifestyle requirements.

Performance

The Explorer features two turbocharged EcoBoost engine options that provide a balance of power and efficiency. The standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 300 horsepower and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. For higher performance, the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine, available in the Tremor and ST trims, produces an impressive 400 horsepower.

Drivers can select between rear-wheel drive and full-time four-wheel drive. The four-cylinder engine gets up to 24 MPG combined with rear-wheel drive or 23 MPG with four-wheel drive. The six-cylinder engine offers 20-21 MPG combined, varying by configuration, balancing good performance with reasonable fuel efficiency.

Exterior

The Explorer's exterior blends rugged durability with contemporary style. At 198.8 inches long and 78.9 inches wide, this midsize SUV stands out yet remains easy to handle for everyday driving. Its LED headlamps with auto high-beam feature light up the road, and available fog lamps improve visibility in tough conditions.

Wheel options vary from 18-inch aluminum wheels on the Active trim to 21-inch wheels on performance models. The Tremor trim stands out with unique styling, such as a distinctive front bumper with tow hooks and high-gloss black wheels accented with electric spice details.

Interior

Step into the Explorer and find a roomy cabin built for comfort and versatility. It can seat six or seven passengers, depending on the layout, with optional captain's chairs in the second row. High-quality materials and carefully planned design details make the interior inviting. Features such as heated and ventilated front seats, power adjustments, and available leather or ActiveX upholstery ensure a comfortable ride for all.

The Explorer's 119.1-inch wheelbase offers ample passenger space across all three rows. Some trims feature a power-folding third row, allowing for quick expansion of cargo space. Climate control isn't limited to the front; available rear HVAC controls help maintain passenger comfort throughout the cabin.

Safety

Ford emphasizes safety in the Explorer through a wide range of standard and optional features. All models come equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go. The rearview camera has a washer for maintaining clear visibility in every situation.

Additional safety features include evasion assist, parking sensors for both forward and reverse, and a safety canopy system with curtain airbags across all three rows. The optional aerial view camera offers a bird's-eye perspective of the vehicle's surroundings, simplifying parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.

Technology

The Explorer features modern connectivity options such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and Ford Connect with 5G mobile hotspot. The B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen provides high-quality audio through 10 or 14 speakers, depending on the trim.

BlueCruise's available hands-free driving technology permits semi-autonomous operation on pre-mapped highways. Additionally, smart device integration allows you to remotely start the engine and monitor your vehicle via your smartphone.
