Powered by a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this Explorer delivers practical performance combined with efficiency. The four-wheel drive system provides traction and stability across varied driving conditions. With an EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 highway miles per gallon, this vehicle balances capability with reasonable fuel economy for its class.
The Active package enhances your driving experience with thoughtful creature comforts. Second row HVAC controls allow rear passengers to adjust their comfort independently. The heated steering wheel welcomes you on cold Minnesota mornings, while LED fog lamps improve visibility and add modern styling. Remote start functionality lets you warm up the cabin from inside your home before departing.
Interior space is configured with front bucket seats and a bench third-row seat, accommodating up to eight passengers. The split-folding rear seat provides flexibility for cargo management. Power windows, power door mirrors, and a telescoping steering wheel allow personalized positioning for any driver. The navigation system, complemented by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeps you connected and on course.
Safety is foundational to this Explorer's design. Standard features include dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags positioned throughout the cabin. Electronic Stability Control, traction control, and four-wheel independent suspension work together to maintain control. ABS brakes with four-wheel disc configuration provide reliable stopping power. The system includes a low tire pressure warning and 911 Assist emergency communication.
The gray exterior with 20-inch carbonized gray-painted aluminum wheels presents a refined appearance while the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad adds convenience and security. Heated door mirrors and a rear window defroster prepare you for winter weather. The rear parking camera assists with visibility during reversing maneuvers.
