A Closer Look at the 2026 Ford Explorer
Performance
The nice part of getting behind the wheel of a new CUV is the balance of capability and fuel efficiency. In the new Explorer, you’ll find a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 with Auto Stop-Start Technology engine under the hood that can achieve an estimated 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. With this level of performance, the Explorer feels like you’re driving a sedan tailored into an SUV frame. Some other key performance features on this model include:
- Selectable Drive Modes
- Side-Wind Stabilization
- Trailer Sway Control
Technology
What you can expect from the tech features available for the Ford Explorer is an abundance of safety features. Ford offers available features and safety systems designed to help you avoid accidents and to protect you and passengers from harm. That means a stress-free ride for everyone in the car is business as usual with the Explorer. The Ford isn’t limited to the above technology features, though. Here are a few more:
- SecuriLock® Passive Anti-Theft System
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane-Keeping System
Design
Present-day CUV models should give their larger counterparts a run for their money in the practicality department. With 85.8 cu ft of cargo space, you don’t have to be picky about what you take with you. And with interior refinements to match usability, the new Explorer is the reason you choose a CUV over other body styles. These design features are also available for this model:
