2025 Ford Explorer

Performance and Powertrain Options 

At the core of the 2025 Explorer is a choice of two powerful engines. The standard 2.3L Turbocharged EcoBoost® I-4 delivers 300 hp and 310 lbs.-ft. of torque, offering a lively balance of efficiency and performance. For those craving more exhilaration, the ST trim introduces a 3.0L Twin-Turbo EcoBoost® V6 producing 400 hp and 415 lbs.-ft. of torque, ensuring confident acceleration and capability. 

Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting, while up to seven selectable drive modes allow the Explorer to adapt to snow, sand, or rugged trails with ease. Buyers can also choose between RWD and 4WD, ensuring confidence no matter where the road leads. 

Advanced Safety Features 

Safety comes standard in the 2025 Explorer with Ford Co-Pilot360™, a suite of driver-assist technologies that includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping System, and a Rear View Camera. Higher trims add Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist 2.0, with advanced features like evasive steering assist, adaptive cruise control with lane centering, and a 360-degree camera. 

Every Explorer is equipped with seven airbags, including dual-stage front, side-impact, curtain, and driver knee protection, plus systems like the SOS Post-Crash Alert System™ and SecuriLock® Passive Anti-Theft for added peace of mind. 

Luxurious Interior and Modern Technology 

Step inside, and the 2025 Explorer reveals a cabin built for both comfort and connectivity. Depending on the trim, options range from durable cloth seating to premium leather. The Platinum trim enhances long drives with multicontour front seats featuring Active Motion® massage, while available heated and ventilated front seats bring all-weather comfort. 

Technology takes center stage with a 13.2-inch touchscreen standard across all trims, providing seamless access to navigation, entertainment, and climate controls. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ ensure instant smartphone integration, while the B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 14 speakers delivers rich audio. Extras like a wireless charging pad and multiple USB ports keep passengers connected on every trip. 

Exterior Features and Styling 

The 2025 Explorer’s exterior blends strength and sophistication. LED headlamps and taillamps are standard, while trim-specific grille designs give each model a distinctive look. The ST trim emphasizes sportiness with a blackout mesh grille, unique badging, and quad chrome exhaust tips. 

Practical touches like the power liftgate and available panoramic Vista Roof® enhance day-to-day usability, making the Explorer as functional as it is stylish.
