The Explorer Active delivers strong fuel efficiency for a vehicle in its class, achieving 20 city miles per gallon and 27 highway miles per gallon. With its 2.3L EcoBoost engine paired with intelligent four-wheel drive, you gain both responsive performance and confident traction in varying weather conditions. The sophisticated suspension system—featuring four-wheel independent design with front and rear anti-roll bars—ensures composed handling whether navigating city streets or highway curves.

Interior comfort extends throughout the cabin with heated front door mirrors, power adjustments throughout, and dual-zone climate control that allows both driver and front passenger to set preferred temperatures independently. The second row benefits from dedicated HVAC controls and individual reading lights, ensuring all passengers travel in comfort. The split-folding rear seat provides flexibility for both passenger accommodation and cargo versatility.

Safety remains central to the Explorer Active's design. Electronic stability control, traction control, four-wheel independent suspension with speed-sensing steering, and anti-lock brakes work together to maintain vehicle control and stability. The comprehensive airbag system protects occupants throughout the cabin, and the low tire pressure warning system alerts you to maintain optimal tire condition. Emergency communication capability provides added confidence during travel.

Entertainment and connectivity keep occupants engaged on every journey. The integrated navigation system works seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the SiriusXM 360L service offers extensive entertainment options. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls let you manage your experience without taking your hands from the wheel.

The Black exterior finish paired with carbonized gray aluminum wheels creates a striking, modern appearance. Remote start capability allows you to prepare the cabin before departure, and the included 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit provide road-ready preparedness.
