The New 2025 Ford Explorer

Powered by a range of engines, including a turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that balances power with fuel efficiency, the Explorer proves that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. For those who crave more, the ST model offers a robust 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, cranking out an impressive 400 horsepower. This power is matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth shifts whether you're cruising on the highway or navigating city streets.

But the 2025 Explorer isn’t just about raw power; it’s built to perform in real-world conditions. The available Intelligent 4WD system provides exceptional traction and stability, making it a versatile choice whether you're driving through snow, rain, or off the beaten path. Ford’s Terrain Management System™ further enhances this capability, allowing drivers to select the ideal driving mode for various terrains with the twist of a dial.

With its bold grille, sculpted lines, and striking LED headlights, this SUV doesn’t just follow trends – it sets them. The Explorer’s design is as functional as it is stylish, with aerodynamic features that not only enhance its visual appeal but also improve fuel efficiency and reduce wind noise, making for a quieter, more comfortable ride. The ST-Line and Platinum models up the ante with exclusive design elements, including unique badging, blacked-out accents, and sporty 20-inch wheels that give the Explorer an even more commanding presence on the road.

What truly sets the Explorer apart from the competition, however, is its attention to detail and customization options. Whether you’re drawn to the sporty look of the ST model or the luxurious feel of the Platinum, there’s an Explorer to match your style.

The spacious cabin is thoughtfully designed to cater to both drivers and passengers, offering ample legroom across all three rows. Whether you’re in the driver’s seat or lounging in the back, the Explorer’s premium materials and attention to detail are evident. Soft-touch surfaces, available leather upholstery, and customizable ambient lighting create an inviting atmosphere.

Ford has also gone the extra mile to ensure that every seat in the Explorer is a great place to be. The available front seats come with multi-contour massage functionality, perfect for those long road trips or just a relaxing commute home. Second-row passengers haven’t been forgotten either, with available heated captain’s chairs that offer both comfort and convenience.

The 2025 Explorer is packed with cutting-edge technology that enhances every aspect of the driving experience. At the heart of the dashboard is the new Ford Digital Experience infotainment system, featuring a large, high-resolution touchscreen that keeps you connected and in control. Whether it’s syncing your smartphone with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, navigating through Ford’s SYNC® 4A, or streaming your favorite music, everything is at your fingertips.

Another standout feature is the available Ford BlueCruise, a hands-free driving technology that brings a new level of convenience to highway travel. This system allows for hands-free driving on pre-qualified sections of divided highways. Plus, the Explorer offers an available wireless charging pad and multiple USB ports, so that everyone’s devices stay powered up.

At the core of the Explorer’s safety technology is Ford Co-Pilot360™, a comprehensive package that includes features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane-Keeping System. These technologies work together to help prevent accidents before they happen, providing an extra layer of security whether you're navigating busy city streets or cruising on the highway.

Plus, the 2025 Explorer offers an available Active Park Assist 2.0, which takes the stress out of parking by automatically steering the vehicle into a parking space, requiring minimal driver input. Another standout feature is the Evasive Steering Assist, which helps drivers steer around potential obstacles in their path more effectively.

As the entry point in the lineup, the Active trim offers a solid set of features that cater to everyday driving needs without compromising on style or performance. It includes a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, providing a balanced mix of power and efficiency. The interior comes with premium cloth seating, offering a comfortable and spacious cabin that’s perfect for both daily commutes and weekend adventures.

It comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360™ technology, ensuring a safe and confident driving experience. The exterior features LED headlights and taillights, giving the Active Trim a modern look, while 18-inch wheels provide a smooth and stable ride.

Inspired by the high-performance ST model, the ST-Line features distinctive design elements like a unique mesh grille, black exterior accents, and 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with black-painted pockets. Inside, the cabin reflects the sporty exterior with red stitching on the seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and sporty seats, creating a dynamic and driver-focused environment.

It includes a sport-tuned suspension that offers a more responsive and engaging driving experience. The ST-Line Trim’s combination of striking design and sportier handling sets it apart from other SUVs in the segment, making it the ideal choice for drivers who want the look and feel of a performance vehicle.

Powered by a robust 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that produces 400 horsepower, the ST Trim is built for speed and excitement. It features a sport-tuned suspension and an Intelligent 4WD system that delivers a thrilling driving experience whether on the highway or winding roads. The ST’s powertrain is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and quick shifts for maximum performance.

The ST Trim’s interior is equally impressive, with exclusive features like a 12.3-inch digital cluster display and unique ST badging throughout the cabin. The seats are wrapped in leather with micro-perforations, offering both luxury and comfort.

The Platinum Trim is all about providing the highest level of comfort and refinement, starting with its exclusive leather upholstery and genuine wood accents that elevate the interior to a new level of luxury. The front seats are heated, ventilated, and offer multi-contour massage functionality, ensuring that every drive is as comfortable as it is stylish. The second-row seats are just as indulgent, providing ample space and comfort for passengers.

On the outside, the Platinum Trim is distinguished by satin aluminum accents, a unique grille, and 21-inch bright machined-face aluminum wheels, giving it an unmistakably premium presence. Under the hood, the Platinum Trim offers the same powerful 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 as the ST, but with a focus on smooth, refined performance rather than outright sportiness.
