Jim O’Neal Ford is proud to offer the 2025 Ford Explorer at our dealership in Sellersburg, Indiana, near Louisville.
The latest iteration in this popular long-running line of best-selling SUVs comes with exciting updates. Ford has given the 2025 Ford Explorer a comprehensive redesign, both inside and out.
If you are in the Kentuckiana area and looking to check out the 2025 Ford Explorer, we can make that happen.
Below, we go into the standout features and enhancements that make this model a must-see if you are in the market for a new SUV.
Interior Fit for Family Life
Three rows, the backmost of which can fold down to afford drivers more cargo capacity, makes this an excellent choice for families.
A roomy storage shelf below the standard 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen with connectivity options, eight USB ports, three 12-volt power sockets, and an available wireless charging pad allows drivers to incorporate other technology. (More on the Ford Digital Experience below.)
The interior redesign includes surfaces soft to the touch, making the center console, door panels, and dashboard comfortable to interact with.
Third-row passengers do not need to climb cramped into the back row, instead merely touching a button to move the second-row seat.
A Redesigned Exterior That Stands Out
The exterior boasts a more refined and modern aesthetic.
Sleek updates to the grille, headlights, and taillights, give this SUV a bold look.
The black-painted roof contributes to the sporty aesthetic of this family vehicle.
A 119.1-inch wheelbase and broad overall look makes this vehicle a true SUV.
Advanced Tech in the Ford Digital Experience
The Ford Digital Experience infotainment system invovles connectivity software that can integrate with a variety of apps, including displaying Google Maps directly on the instrument cluster to provide real-time navigation without distraction.
The Ford Digital Experience also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone integration.
When parked, users can stream videos on YouTube or another provider and browse the Internet and even play games available on Google Play.
Performance and Efficiency: Powertrain Options
The base Active, ST-Line, and Platinum trims have a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
The ST and Platinum trims come with the option of turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine offers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Standard 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is available), in combination with the 5,000-pound towing capacity.
The EPA rates fuel economy at 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway for rear-wheel-drive models, with all-wheel drive decrementing mpg by 1 mpg. All-wheel-drive variants offer slightly lower figures but still provide commendable fuel economy for the segment.
Ready for the Long Haul
The true test of a family SUV is whether it can keep people comfortable and entertained throughout a long journey.
This vehicle certainly has the cargo capacity to accommodate family trips, especially with the third row folded down. Passenger volume is 63/56/36 cubic feet for the front, middle, and rear rows, respectively. Cargo volume behind those same rows is 85/46/16.
Second-row passengers enjoy heated seats and a redesigned dashboard provides front-row passengers with more space.
Advanced Safety Features
Standard advanced driver-assistance features include blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and forward-collision warning.
An available BlueCruise hands-free driving system offers autonomous driving capabilities on compatible highways’ “Blue Zones”. This system includes features like lane change assist and in-lane repositioning, providing a more relaxed driving experience during long-distance travels.
Trim Levels
The 2025 Ford Explorer is available in several trims to cater to various preferences and budgets:
- Active
- ST-Line
- ST
