Previewing the 2025 Ford Explorer
Performance

Most SUV shoppers want a sizeable entry that's equal parts engaging and composed, and that's where the new Explorer delivers. The Turbocharged inline‑4 gasoline engine is at the forefront of these spectacular performance features, and this model can generate a max of 300 horsepower when properly equipped. All this power considered, the Explorer still manages a composed ride with limited body roll. Some other standout performance features on this model are:
- Available Sport-tuned Suspension
- 10-speed automatic Transmission
- Rear-wheel drive
Technology

The tech features in the new Explorer are engineered to make your experience on and off the road easier. Add in seamless entertainment and navigation, and you have one of the most complete in-cabin experiences on the market. For more information on standard and available technology features, see this list:
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
- 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen
Design

It's not easy to be as sleek as a sedan and as adaptable as an SUV, but the new Explorer makes it look that way. A capacious 87 cu ft of storage room awaits inside the cabin of the Explorer. After you account for how much room there is, you can focus on choosing comfort options to make the interior even more welcoming. Some other design features for you to consider are:
- B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen
