Under the hood, the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers capable performance while maintaining efficiency. The four-wheel drive system provides confidence on varied terrain, and the four-wheel independent suspension ensures a balanced ride whether you're navigating highways or rough terrain. City driving generates 20 MPG, while highway travel achieves 27 MPG, making this Explorer a practical choice for both short errands and longer journeys.

The interior emphasizes comfort and connectivity. Dual-zone automatic temperature control keeps front passengers comfortable independently, while rear air conditioning extends that comfort to all rows. The power driver seat adjusts to your preferences, and the telescoping steering wheel accommodates drivers of different heights. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto seamlessly integrate your smartphone, while the SiriusXM 360L satellite radio keeps you entertained throughout your travels.

Safety receives thorough attention with multiple airbags positioned throughout the cabin, including dual front impact, dual front side impact, knee, and overhead airbags. Electronic Stability Control, traction control, and brake assist work together to help prevent loss of vehicle control. The backup camera and rear parking sensors provide visibility when reversing, and the low tire pressure warning system alerts you to maintenance needs.

Practical features enhance daily usability. The split folding rear seat accommodates passengers or cargo based on your current needs, and the three-row design seats up to eight occupants. Floor liners protect your investment, while the rear window wiper clears your view in wet conditions. Speed-sensitive wipers automatically adjust based on vehicle speed, and heated mirrors clear frost and snow to maintain visibility.

The 2026 Explorer Active combines three-row seating, modern technology, efficient power delivery, and comprehensive safety systems to support an active lifestyle. Visit our showroom to experience this capable SUV firsthand and discuss how it fits your family's needs.
