The 2025 Ford Explorer is a performance-oriented mid-size SUV built for families looking for a three-row SUV with an edge. From its bold and commanding presence to its available twin-turbo V6, the Explorer is engineered to steal the spotlight and dominate any stretch of road with ease. Thrilling Power The Ford Explorer comes ready to leave other road users in the dust, courtesy of two turbocharged engines. The standard 2.3-liter turbo-four eagerly produces 300 horses and 310 lb-ft of torque, launching this hulking SUV to 60 mph in just 6 seconds. This means that even the base model can easily outrun the majority of vehicles on the road today. It also enables a robust 5,000-pound towing capacity to ensure maximum practicality. The available 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 cranks out a ferocious 400 HP and 415 pound-feet of torque, slashing the 0-60 time to just 5 seconds, putting performance cars on notice. Like the turbo-four, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. And despite the significant power boost, it remains impressively efficient, getting up to 26 MPG on the highway. Still, the base engine's 28 MPG highway rating makes it a compelling choice for drivers looking for a balance of power and efficiency. more Athletic Performance The Explorer, despite its heft, delivers razor-sharp handling and control, thanks to its performance-focused engineering. The first indication that it means business is its standard rear-wheel-drive configuration. This is by design to give it superb stability, courtesy of the inherent near-perfect weight distribution that comes with this configuration. This allows the Explorer to remain composed when carving twisty back roads at high speeds. Meanwhile, the 10-speed automatic transmission is butter-smooth, ensuring effortless power delivery for a responsive driving experience. Several standard and available driver-assistance features come in clutch to enhance safety, comfort, and control when handling this beast. Some of them include adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, intersection collision mitigation, evasive steering assistance, lane-centering system, blind-spot monitoring, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and more! Off-Road Capability The Explorer comes with various available off-road features to allow you to explore remote landscapes with ease. They include an intelligent four-wheel-drive system, a terrain management system with terrain-specific drive modes, nearly 8 inches of ground clearance, and Hill Descent Control. Luxurious Interior The Explorer's capacious three-row cabin is opulently crafted to deliver ultimate comfort. Upmarket amenities it can come with include a twin-panel sunroof, premium leather upholstery, heated, ventilated, and massaging seats, second-row captain's chairs, a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, wireless phone charging, a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Google built-in, three-zone automatic climate control, and more!
