The 2023 Ford Explorer has three rows of seating, an amazing infotainment system, and comes with a hybrid option. As a Ford dealer, we’ve gotten the chance to really get to know this amazing vehicle. Read on for more details about why we love this family SUV so much.
Powerful Performance
Drivers can choose from three different engines for the 2023 Explorer. The standard engine in the entry-level model is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This powerful design generates up to 300 horsepower.
The higher trims have an available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that generates up to 400 horsepower. Additionally, there is a hybrid option. The hybrid system helps your Explorer avoid the gas station for as long as possible, while still generating an impressive 318 horsepower. The hybrid option is standard on the top-tier Platinum trim.
A Spacious Interior
The Explorer comfortably seats up to seven passengers. The driver will enjoy an eight-way power driver’s seat in the entry-level Explorer, while higher trims enhance this even further with a 10-way power seat. In the second row, passengers will have plenty of space, with 39 inches of legroom. In the higher trim levels, like the Platinum, passengers will enjoy second-row heated captain seats.
If you’re looking to bring along more cargo, your Explorer makes that easy. Behind the third-row seats, there is 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space. When you easily fold down the second and third-row seats, you’ll have a maximum cargo volume of 87.8 cubic feet.
Impressive Safety Assist Features
Your standard Explorer comes equipped with adaptive cruise control. When activated, this feature can handle accelerating and braking for you to help you maintain a preset following distance. Additionally, your Explorer comes standard with a rearview camera with backup assist grid lines, making it easier than ever to handle busy parking lots. When in reverse, your rear parking sensors will alert you when you’re getting close to an obstacle behind your SUV.
Your Ford will also have a lane-keeping assist system, as well as a pre-collision assist. You’re going to love the convenience of your automatic high beam feature. Your Explorer will handle adjusting your high beams for oncoming traffic so you can stay focused on the road.
Advanced Infotainment
The 2023 Explorer is a great option for drivers who love a quality infotainment system. This vehicle comes equipped with a 10.1-inch LCD touchscreen as standard. This system is loaded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This makes smoothly connecting your smartphone apps a breeze.
Upgrading to the top-tier Platinum means your infotainment system will come with navigation at the ready. You’ll also enjoy a 12-speaker sound system paired with a subwoofer for excellent sound quality.
