Well-known for its versatility, the 2025 Ford Explorer offers a comfortable three-row cabin, technology the whole family can love, and these five features that make it an excellent choice for adventurous drivers.

1. The Ford Digital Experience

This edition’s infotainment system, the Ford Digital Experience, provides many high-tech convenience functions and entertainment options ranging from hands-free calling to wireless media streaming from Apple and Android devices. It also comes with Google built-in services, which allow you to download apps, get audible directions to destinations with Google Maps, and get live traffic updates. Also, you can create four different personalized user profiles, allowing different drivers to save their preferred settings.

2. Comfy and Upscale Seating

Seating up to seven passengers, the Explorer’s three rows of seating offer plenty of options to make drives more comfortable, including heated front seats that come standard in all models and with ventilation in the ST and Platinum trims. Second-row heated seats come in all trims other than the base Active trim, and seating fabrics offered include ActiveX synthetic material, unique cloth, and leather with either tri-diamond inserts or Miko inserts, depending on the trim level.

3. A Fuel-Savvy 300-HP Engine

Although this edition has two stunning engines available, a turbocharged 300-horsepower 2.3-liter I-4 and a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, the smaller I-4 stands out by providing superior fuel efficiency while still providing enough strength to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

4. BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving

This edition comes with Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, a suite of standard safety driver-assist systems that includes the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Adaptive Cruise Control, and many other highlights. The available BlueCruise hands-free driving system is a clear standout feature offered for this SUV. When driving in designated Blue Zones, which make up over 130,000 miles of highways across North America, this system can control acceleration, braking, and even steering, for more relaxing journeys.

5. A Terrain Management System

The vehicle’s standard terrain management system puts a dial at your fingertips that lets you switch between different drive modes at any time as you encounter different terrains and scenarios. Drive modes include Sport for enhanced engine and pedal response, Tow/Haul for optimal towing and payload-carrying settings, Eco for conserving fuel on road trips, Slippery for wet and icy surfaces, and Trail for off-road trails. If opting for Intelligent 4WD, this system adds a Deep Snow/Sand mode.
