Driving this SUV feels effortlessly smooth, thanks to the 2.3L I4 EcoBoost engine paired with a 6-speed automatic with Select-Shift.

Rear Parking Sensors and an Exterior Parking Camera Rear make maneuvering in tight spaces intuitive and stress-free, enhancing everyday convenience. The inclusion of multiple airbags-including knee, side, and overhead-works invisibly to protect, offering peace of mind without intruding on the cabin’s tranquil atmosphere.
A host of premium features elevates the Explorer XLT’s appeal. Power front seats, dual-zone air conditioning, and rear air conditioning prioritize passenger comfort in every row. The AM/FM stereo with single CD/MP3 capability and SiriusXM compatibility ensures rich audio for every journey, while steering wheel-mounted controls bring entertainment and communication within easy reach. Subtle details like the illuminated entry, ambient overhead console, and refined switchgear contribute to a sense of quiet luxury. The SUV’s split-folding third-row seating and expansive cargo flexibility adapt seamlessly to your lifestyle needs.
Against premium competitors like the Honda Pilot EX-L and Chevrolet Traverse LT, the Explorer demonstrates a compelling blend of tactile quality and acoustic refinement.
