The Active trim positions this Explorer as a practical choice for drivers seeking dependable transportation. The 2.3L EcoBoost engine delivers efficiency across both city and highway driving, with EPA estimates of 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. Four-wheel drive provides confidence in varied weather and road conditions, while the ten-speed automatic transmission balances power delivery with fuel economy.

Inside, the Explorer prioritizes passenger comfort and convenience. The front dual zone automatic climate control ensures driver and passenger preferences are separately managed, while rear air conditioning extends comfort to passengers in the second and third rows. The power driver seat with power steering, combined with the telescoping steering wheel, allows drivers to establish their ideal driving position. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity keeps essential smartphone functions accessible, while the integrated navigation system and SiriusXM radio provide entertainment and guidance throughout your travels.

Safety features are comprehensive throughout this model. Dual front impact airbags work alongside front side impact airbags and overhead airbags to protect occupants. The electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel independent suspension contribute to controlled handling. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS provide dependable stopping power, supported by brake assist technology. The exterior parking camera assists with reversing maneuvers, while low tire pressure warnings help maintain optimal tire condition.

The three-row seating arrangement accommodates up to eight passengers, with split-folding rear seats offering flexibility for cargo or additional passengers. Front bucket seats with a center armrest in the front row provide defined seating areas. This configuration makes the Explorer suitable for both daily commuting and family road trips.

Practical details enhance everyday usability. The 18-inch wheels paired with speed-sensitive wipers and fully automatic headlights support convenience-focused driving. Driver and passenger vanity mirrors, front and rear reading lights, and an overhead console with trip computer add functional touches throughout the cabin. The remote keyless entry system with security system and panic alarm provides peace of mind.
