At a Glance: The 2023 Ford Explorer

Blending a luxurious interior with off-road capabilities, the 2023 Ford Explorer is ready to take adventures beyond the pavement with its available four-wheel drive. It also offers sophisticated tech features to help you navigate the journey and both safety and driver-assist systems that can help prevent collisions before they happen.

Performance

With up to 28 miles per gallon on highways, the 2023 Explorer offers incredible fuel efficiency, as well as three potent engines to choose from. If the 300-horsepower four-cylinder isn’t enough muscle for you, there’s also a 400-horsepower V6 offered for select models and a 3.3-liter V6 hybrid engine that generates 318 horses.

While rear-wheel drive come standard with most trims, Ford’s Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive system is available for all, which not only detects changing terrains and automatically adapts the vehicle to them, but also teams with a terrain management system that puts the power in your hands by allowing you to choose between seven different terrain modes at any time.

Interior

Climbing into the Explorer’s cabin is always an experience, especially when the available ambient lighting is set to your preferred color and the tri-zone climate control is dividing the cabin into three different temperatures to cater to more than just one passenger.

Then there’s the expansive twin-panel moonroof, which is available for those who enjoy sharing stargazing experiences with passengers in both the first and second rows, as well as plenty of driver comforts, like heated seats throughout the cabin, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a rotary gear shift dial.

Technology

This edition’s SYNC 3 system provides all of your entertainment, navigation assistance, and smartphone connectivity. In addition to offering a responsive 10.1-inch touchscreen, it also comes with advanced voice command technology and Amazon Alexa integration.

Thanks to the available Wi-Fi hotspot, you and your passengers can connect to social media sites or check important emails while out on the road. If you go with the hybrid model, there’s also regenerative braking technology, which can charge the vehicle’s battery every time you press the brake pedal.

Safety

This vehicle’s safety and driver-assist features are all impressive as well, like both Lane-Keeping System and the Blind Spot Information System, which help to make lane changes safer by monitoring for unsafe scenarios.

If you’re heading too quickly toward another vehicle, Pre-Collision Assist can warn of this, and if you don’t respond quickly enough, it can then activate the Automatic Emergency Braking system to stop the vehicle. To make parking safer, Active Park Assist 2.0 can steer and move the vehicle into tight spaces with little driver input after you’ve put the vehicle into neutral and pressed the activation button.

Doubling as both a spacious, everyday commuter vehicle and an adventurous, off-roading SUV, the 2023 Explorer is ready for just about any scenario with first-class technology throughout its cabin.
