Whether you’re looking for a composed and predictable ride or a zippy car with swift acceleration, the 2025 Ford Explorer can fulfill those needs. With its great ever-updating technology, ample space in the cabin, and wonderful comfort features, the latest model remains an excellent family SUV that’ll last for many years to come.
Two Engine Choices
The Active, Platinum, and ST-Line trims all come with the vehicle’s base engine, which is a turbocharged 2.3-liter direct-injection EcoBoost I-4. It provides you with a comfortable ride with an easygoing feel. However, if you enjoy a slightly more thrilling ride with quick acceleration then consider the ST trim, which has a 3-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 under the hood. This zippy engine is also available on the Platinum trim.
Both engines are strong, allowing you to tow up to 5,000 pounds in the Explorer. The main difference between them is how quickly they accelerate. The base engine can get to 60 mph in six seconds, but the V6 engine reaches this speed in 5.1 seconds. The V6 also delivers a ride that feels more powerful; it produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft of torque compared to the base engine’s 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft of torque.
Spacious Interior
There’s plenty of room for passengers and cargo in the Ford Explorer. It has a maximum cargo volume of 85.8 cubic feet. You’ll need to fold down the middle and rear rows to expand the cargo area to this size. With these rows up, you’ve got 18.2 cubic feet to fill up with your cargo.
There’s also plenty of room to stretch your legs in the Explorer. Each row has close to 40 inches of room for your legs and around 40 inches of headroom to make sure you don’t feel cramped during your ride.
Great Cabin Comforts
The surfaces in the Explorer are enveloped in soft-touch materials, making everything feel wonderful and look just as great. The adjustability and heating functions of the seats in the Explorer also help the cabin feel comfortable and upscale.
The driver’s seat in every trim can be moved in at least eight directions, while it’s adjustable in 10 directions in some trims. Every trim allows the front passenger to adjust their seat in at least four directions, while it’s six or eight-way adjustable in some trims. Every trim has heated front seats, and most of them have heated second-row seating as well.
Fantastic Infotainment Technology
The Explorer has an infotainment system that receives updates and gets better with time. It also has the Ford at Digital Experience, letting you customize the infotainment screen, visit the Google Play store to download apps, and much more. You can also connect your smartphone to the infotainment system and enjoy even more functionality.
