In the ever-evolving world of sport utility vehicles, the Ford Explorer has been a constant, charting the path for what an SUV can be with its blend of comfort, performance, and functionality. As we look ahead to the 2025 model year, the Ford Explorer is poised to redefine standards once again. With a comprehensive update that spans the entire model range – from the versatile Active to the sleek ST-Line, the dynamic ST, and the luxurious Platinum – the latest iteration marks a significant leap forward for America’s all-time best-selling SUV.
The 2025 Explorer benefits from a meticulous redesign that touches every aspect of the vehicle. Inside, occupants will be greeted by a cabin that exudes sophistication, thanks to an array of new color schemes, textures, and materials, meticulously chosen to enhance comfort and aesthetic appeal. The introduction of the Ford Digital Experience infotainment system promises an intuitive and engaging interface, setting a new benchmark for in-car technology.
As the 2025 Ford Explorer embarks on this new chapter, it carries forward a legacy of over three decades in shaping the SUV landscape, while setting its sights on a future where technology, luxury, and versatility converge.
The 2025 Ford Explorer emerges with a significant exterior redesign that not only elevates its aesthetic appeal but also offers an unprecedented level of customization for its clientele. This redesign embraces a philosophy of personalization, allowing owners to sculpt the Explorer to their unique tastes and preferences through a selection of custom packages and distinctive design elements.
The heart of this personalization lies in the array of custom packages designed to enhance both appearance and functionality. These include options that range from the sophisticated Platinum Lux Leather Package, which brings an upscale ambiance with its premium leather seating and detailed accent stitching, to the sporty ST-Line Street Pack, which focuses on performance aesthetics with its Magnetite-painted wheels and red-painted brake calipers. For those seeking comfort with a touch of luxury, the Active Comfort Package introduces elements like LED fog lamps and signature lighting, alongside the practicality of heated steering wheels and specialized seating materials.
Distinctiveness continues with the Explorer’s grille options, each model boasting a unique design that reflects its character. From the Platinum's elegant wing design with its satin chrome finish to the ST's assertive honeycomb gloss black grille, and the Active's rugged saw-tooth black mesh grille, each choice sets a different tone for the vehicle's front fascia.
Rounding out the exterior transformation are seven wheel options that cater to varying tastes and styles. These range from the understated elegance of the 18-inch Sparkle Silver-painted aluminum wheels to the bold statement of the 21-inch dark alloy polished aluminum wheels. Each selection is designed to complement the Explorer’s redesigned silhouette and contribute to its overall road presence.
The 2025 Ford Explorer stands at the forefront of automotive innovation with the introduction of the Ford Digital Experience, a pioneering infotainment system that transforms the in-vehicle digital environment. This advanced system is a testament to Ford's commitment to enhancing connectivity, personalization, and entertainment for drivers and passengers alike, marking the Explorer as the first Ford model to embrace this technology.
Central to the Ford Digital Experience is a user-centric design that integrates seamlessly into the digital lives of its users. It offers an unprecedented level of personalization through customizable profiles, content, and apps, ensuring that every journey is tailored to the preferences of the occupants. Whether moving or parked, this system enriches the time spent behind the wheel, making every moment more enjoyable and connected.
At the heart of this technology suite is a 13.2-inch touchscreen display, offering intuitive control over the system's myriad features. This is complemented by a 12.3-inch digital cluster, enhancing the visual experience for the driver. Navigation is revolutionized with Google Maps integration, displaying routes both on the touchscreen and the digital cluster, ensuring directions are clear and accessible.
Voice control is prioritized through Google Assistant, set as the default voice assistant, with Alexa Built-In available as an alternative. These tools offer extensive control over the vehicle's functions, including temperature settings, navigation, communication, and even connected home devices, through simple voice commands. The system's compatibility with a range of entertainment apps like Spotify, Amazon Music, and SiriusXM with 360L, ensures a rich audio experience, tailored to the listener's preferences.
The Ford Digital Experience also extends its capabilities to parked scenarios, allowing occupants to watch videos, stream movies, surf the web, and even play games directly from the touchscreen. This includes access to a curated selection of apps and games from Google Play, promising endless entertainment options.
The 2025 Ford Explorer introduces the cutting-edge Ford BlueCruise technology, a revolutionary advancement in autonomous driving that brings hands-free highway driving capabilities to select trims of the vehicle. This system is designed to significantly enhance the driving experience on highways, making long-distance journeys and navigating through congested traffic smoother and more relaxed.
Blue Cruise is an advanced driver-assistance system that allows for hands-free operation of the vehicle on prequalified sections of divided highways. It achieves this through a combination of radar, camera technology, and sophisticated software, enabling the vehicle to maintain its lane, adjust speed, and manage distance from vehicles ahead without the driver needing to keep hands on the wheel, provided they remain attentive to the road.
The 2025 Ford Explorer introduces a lineup of EcoBoost engines, exemplifying a commitment to blending power with efficiency. The range starts with the advanced 2.3L EcoBoost engine, a turbocharged unit designed for those who value a spirited yet economical driving experience. For drivers looking for elevated performance, the Explorer offers an optional 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine, enhancing the SUV's capabilities for more demanding driving and towing requirements.
