The Active trim positions itself as the practical choice for buyers seeking genuine off-road capability without sacrificing daily usability. The 2.3L EcoBoost engine delivers efficient performance, achieving 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, while the standard four-wheel drive system provides traction when you venture beyond paved roads. The ten-speed automatic transmission balances responsiveness with efficiency across varied driving conditions.

Inside, this Explorer accommodates up to seven passengers across three rows, with the front bucket seats offering power adjustment for the driver. The split folding rear seat allows you to reconfigure the cargo area based on your needs—whether you're transporting passengers or maximizing storage space. Automatic temperature control with separate front and rear zones ensures passenger comfort throughout the cabin.

Technology integration reflects modern expectations. The navigation system guides your route while the rear parking camera provides visual feedback during reversals. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility allows you to bring your preferred apps and services directly to the center display. SiriusXM 360L satellite radio delivers consistent entertainment options across your travels.

Safety systems throughout the vehicle work in concert to protect occupants. Electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel independent suspension contribute to confident handling across different road surfaces. The comprehensive airbag system protects both front and rear passengers, while the low tire pressure warning system keeps you informed about critical maintenance needs.

The blue exterior finish presents a bold, distinctive appearance paired with body-color bumpers and a rear spoiler. Eighteen-inch sparkle silver-painted aluminum wheels provide a refined aesthetic while the fully automatic headlights with delay-off functionality enhance visibility and convenience.
