The New 2025 Ford Explorer

The 2025 Explorer is built to perform while remaining easy on the wallet. It's very fuel-efficient, achieving an impressive 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. Two powerful engine options are available. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine is standard on the two lower trims.

For those craving more power, the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine delivers 400 HP and 415 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard on the two higher trims. Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Step inside the 2025 Explorer, and you'll find yourself in a world where comfort meets utility. It's big enough for all your cargo, with a max volume of 85.3 cubic feet. You'll fit everything you need without feeling squished.

The seats feature new color schemes this year, adding a touch of style to your ride. Available multi-contour massaging seats take comfort to the next level. Heating and ventilation are back this year for even more. Other neat touches include the rotary gear shift dial and the third-row PowerFold seats are a game-changer.

Ford SUVs are known for their bold, rugged looks, and the 2025 Explorer continues this tradition with some fresh updates. This year, the front fascia is modified with a new grille, headlights, and lower air inlets. From every angle, the 2025 Explorer looks ready for action, whether you're navigating city streets or exploring off the beaten path.

When exploring in your Explorer, you want the right tech at your side. At the heart of the Explorer's tech offerings is a massive 13.2-inch touchscreen. It's powered by the new Ford digital experience, a software system designed to easily integrate your favorite apps. Staying connected is easy with the in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot.

You can search for destinations, stream music, or let your passengers browse the internet on long trips. Your music will sound better than ever with one of two different B&O sound systems by Bang & Olufsen. Keeping your devices charged is a breeze with the available wireless charging pad and eight charging ports throughout the cabin.

And for those long highway drives, the innovative BlueCruise hands-free driving feature takes the stress out of the journey, allowing for hands-free driving on certain highways.

Staying safe on the road is crucial, especially when traveling with family. The 2025 Explorer comes packed with safety features designed to give you peace of mind on every journey. Of course, you'll find all the basics, like airbags and a rearview camera. But the Explorer doesn't stop there. It also comes with a full suite of Ford Co-Pilot360 technologies.

One standout feature is the lane-keeping system, which helps you stay centered in your lane, even on long, tiring drives. And when you're heading down steep, slippery slopes, the hill descent control automatically controls your speed, allowing you to focus on steering.

The Active trim is your starting point, but don't let that fool you - it's packed with features. You'll ride in style on 18" sparkle silver-painted aluminum wheels supported by LED signature lighting. Convenience is key with the power liftgate and remote start system. Inside, you'll find a 13.2" touchscreen and 12.3" digital cluster, keeping all your important information at your fingertips.

Stay connected with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and a 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. The ActiveX seating material is both durable and easy to clean, perfect for active lifestyles. On cold mornings, you'll appreciate the heated steering wheel. And for those who want to take comfort to the next level, there's an available Active Comfort package.

The ST-Line opens up a world of optional extras. You can choose from three new available packages: ST-Line Street, Premium, and Black-Painted Roof. These packages allow you to customize your Explorer to your exact preferences.

Inside, you'll find 2nd-row heated seats and unique cloth inserts with red stitching, adding a touch of luxury and sportiness to the interior. The Ford BlueCruise lets you experience the future of driving. And those 20" machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets enhance both the look and the ride of your Explorer.

The ST takes everything great about the ST-Line and kicks it up a notch. The front row seats are heated and ventilated, with multi-contour design and Active Motion massage. The third-row PowerFold seats fold flat, and music lovers will appreciate the best-in-class sound system: a Bang & Olufsen setup with 980 watts and 14 speakers including a subwoofer. Keep your compatible devices charged with the wireless charging pad.

Under the hood, you'll find the powerful 400 HP 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine, paired with a sport-tuned suspension for exhilarating performance and handling. There are also red-painted performance front- and rear-brake calipers.

This is the end of the line, as there is nothing above this trim. It includes everything from the lower trims and packages, so you get all the best features the Explorer has to offer. The enhanced Ford Co-Pilot360 assist 2.0 with a 360-degree camera provides an extra level of awareness and safety.

Bring the outside in with the twin-panel moonroof, perfect for open-air driving. Finally, the seats are unique Platinum ActiveX seats with heating, ventilation, and massage features.
