The ST designation signals sportier handling and a more aggressive stance, delivering an SUV that performs as well as it looks. The Black exterior finish provides striking presence on any road, while the commanding ride height and responsive steering make navigating both highways and city streets intuitive and controlled. Inside, the cabin prioritizes both driver focus and passenger comfort, with controls positioned logically and materials that reflect quality craftsmanship.

Power and efficiency work hand in hand with the turbocharged V6 engine, which produces 18 city and 25 highway MPG. The four-wheel-drive system provides traction confidence whether you're managing winter conditions or varied terrain. The 10-speed automatic transmission responds smoothly across driving conditions, balancing power delivery with fuel economy.

Entertainment and connectivity define the modern driving experience, and this Explorer delivers on both fronts. The B&O sound system elevates every drive with premium audio quality, while the three-year SiriusXM subscription keeps you connected to satellite radio programming. Navigation integration with smartphone compatibility means you have access to real-time information and entertainment without taking your attention off the road.

Safety and convenience features round out the comprehensive package. The rear parking camera provides visual feedback when maneuvering in tight spaces, while multiple airbag systems and stability controls work continuously to protect occupants. Dual-zone climate control, heated seats throughout, and the power liftgate reflect the attention to detail that makes ownership genuinely enjoyable.

This 2026 Explorer ST represents the full scope of what a modern three-row SUV should deliver: capable performance, refined comfort, advanced technology, and a presence that commands the road. The low mileage indicates this is essentially a new vehicle ready to begin its ownership story with you.
