The Explorer Active provides genuine utility without compromise. With a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that delivers 20 city and 27 highway MPG, this vehicle balances efficiency with performance. The four-wheel-drive system ensures confident handling across varied road conditions, while the independent four-wheel suspension contributes to a composed ride quality.

Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully designed for both driver and passengers. Automatic temperature control maintains comfort for all occupants, and the rear HVAC controls let second-row passengers adjust their climate independently. The heated steering wheel proves invaluable during colder months, while the leather-wrapped wheel offers comfortable grip during every drive.

Technology integration is seamless with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, allowing you to access your smartphone's essential features directly from the vehicle's display. The included navigation system provides reliable route guidance, and the 911 Assist emergency communication system offers an additional layer of security. The Ford Connectivity Package delivers seven years of 5G connectivity with unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, enabling continuous access to entertainment, productivity apps, and voice assistance.

Safety systems throughout the Explorer Active work to protect you and your passengers. Dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags provide comprehensive coverage. Electronic Stability Control, traction control, and ABS brakes work together to maintain vehicle stability, while four-wheel disc brakes deliver responsive stopping power.

The Explorer Active accommodates your lifestyle with its flexible seating arrangement. Second and third row seats fold conveniently to expand cargo space, while the second row bench seat features the E-Z Entry function for accessing the third row without removing the middle seat. This adaptability makes the Explorer Active equally suited for family trips or hauling larger items.
