Adventure awaits with the 2023 Ford Explorer, a versatile SUV that’s ready to conquer demanding terrains with its available off-road capabilities and incredible performance. Whether you’re traversing nature trails or cruising highways, its luxurious cabin is ready to accommodate with plenty of interior comforts, and its next-level technology can be found throughout its many entertainment, safety, and driver-assist features.

Capable Performance

This edition offers both exceptional performance and off-road versatility, thanks to its three powerful engine options and available four-wheel drive. The base engine, a 2.3-liter four-cylinder, provides 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, more than enough to tackle both highways and trails with ease. If you should need more power, there’s also a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter that delivers an impressive 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.

For maximum fuel efficiency, you can also opt for a 3.3-liter hybrid V6 engine, which pairs with an electric motor to churn out 318 horses and 322 pound-feet of torque, as well as an estimated 27 mpg fuel rating in combined city/highway mileage.

Interior and Design

With space to accommodate up to seven passengers, the 2023 Explorer’s interior is both roomy and comfortable. Available luxury features include heated front and rear seats with tri-diamond perforated leather, a tri-zone climate control that provides three separate temperatures inside the cabin, and a twin-panel moonroof that can be extended with the push of a button.

Outside, both dual and quad chrome exhaust tips are available to give the Explorer a sportier look, and the distinctive LED taillamps team with available LED fog lamps to light the way in different driving conditions. Even loading groceries while your hands are full is easier than ever before with both the rear bumper step pad and hands-free liftgate.

Technology and Safety

Sophisticated technology can be found throughout this vehicle’s entertainment and driver-assist features, such as its SYNC 3 infotainment system. This feature allows you to take calls, get texts, listen to music, and ask for route directions without having to take your hands off the steering wheel. When pairing this system with both the Wi-Fi hotspot and 14-speaker audio system, you have everything you need to make long journeys fun for everyone.

As a sure sign that this edition is ahead of the curve, its Active Park Assist 2.0 feature can get you into or out of tight spaces in parking lots, and all you have to do is shift the vehicle into neutral and press a button. Plenty of safety features are offered as well, including the Auto High-Beam Headlamps, which adapt to different lighting conditions, the Rear View Camera, and the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

Rugged and adaptable to different terrains, the 2023 Explorer combines the perfect mix of strong performance capabilities with interior luxuries and hi-tech safety features.
