2023 Ford Explorer, when adventure and comfort meet!
The 2023 Ford Explorer is not a choice of vehicle; it's five choices of vehicle. The mid-size SUV offers a comprehensive lineup of performance, style and comfort. Each offers something extra: XLT is active versatility, ST-Line is performance-inspired design, Limited is unlimited sophistication, Timberline is off-road adventure, ST is high performance and Platinum is the most sophisticated level of SUV.
Comfort for all
Equipped with heated captain's chairs in the first and second rows on select models, Ford Explorer SUVs will make your getaways more enjoyable. No matter where they sit in the cabin, passengers can control the temperature because even the people in the back have climate controls with auxiliary heat. Drivers benefit from the heated steering wheel. For extra space, the 50/50 manually folding bench seat in the third row is also optional.
Power to spare
Depending on the trim level you choose, your 2023 Ford Explorer will give you all the power you need. You can choose from a 365-horsepower 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine or a refined version of this engine on ST models that offers 400 horsepower. The 2.3L 4-cylinder serves as the base engine with a still impressive 300 horsepower. A hybrid version, combining an electric motor with a 3.3L engine, can deliver some 265 horsepower but gets 9.6 L/100 km. Properly equipped, the Ford Explorer has a maximum towing capacity of 5,300 pounds. All versions get a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the Terrain Management System combined with all-wheel drive allows you to choose your driving modes.
Always safe
When you drive your 2023 Ford Explorer, you can be sure you're safe. It's properly equipped for any weather you encounter on the road. Numerous on-board systems, such as crosswind stabilization, lane tracking, lane departure warning and driver alert, allow it to offer more than most of its competitors. Add to that the rearview camera with a cleaning jet, and you'll understand that the Explorer is safe for everyone. As for the more adventurous, they will appreciate the descent control and the trailer stabilization systems. Urban drivers will opt for the automatic parking assistance system.
Practical technology
Beyond comfort, the 2023 Ford Explorer also relies on a technological interior to make trips even more enjoyable. Access to FordPass, for example, allows for remote start and remote keyless entry on your smartphone. The SYNC3 system, displayed on an optional 10.1-inch screen, provides full access to infotainment, and features seamless compatibility with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Optional Active Motion massaging seats and an adjustable distraction-reducing display add to the Bang & Olufsen sound system to provide a pleasant cabin in a vehicle that can take you on an adventure.
