The 2021 Ford Explorer is incredibly fun to drive, thanks in large part to the engines it has to offer. You can choose from four different engines to tailor your vehicle's performance to your personal needs, from the efficient hybrid option to the powerful V-6 EcoBoost. But no matter which way you go, you will find a terrific driving experience - even with the standard engine, you will still find the Explorer to be a fun and rewarding experience.
The standard Explorer, XLT, and Limited trims come with a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine that provides up to 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. With the standard rear-wheel drive powertrain, this engine is rated for 21 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway, although those figures will drop by 1 MPG if you opt for all-wheel drive. For a more powerful option, the Platinum trim features a 3.0L EcoBoost V-6 engine that delivers 365 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque, with a slightly lower fuel efficiency of up to 18 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway.
If you are looking for more power and higher performance, then the sporty ST trim comes with a 3.0L EcoBoost V-6 engine that has been tuned by the engineers at Ford Performance for an exhilarating driving experience, providing you with 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, if fuel economy is your biggest concern, then the Limited Hybrid trim features a 3.3L V-6 Hybrid engine that still provides 318 hp and 322 lb-ft torque while giving you fuel efficiency of up to 27 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. As you can see, these options really let you prioritize what is most important to you and offer a superb driving experience to meet the needs of pretty much everyone.
When choosing an SUV, you want to pick one that is large enough for what you need without going overboard – otherwise, you can end up with a much bigger vehicle than is necessary. A midsize model like the 2021 Ford Explorer is one of the best ways you can find that "middle way" without too much extra work on your part. The Explorer is a great choice for such a ride, as it provides you with plenty of room inside for your passengers and cargo.
You get three rows of seating in the Explorer, with safe, comfortable seats for up to seven total passengers inside the vehicle. This includes a pair of front-row seats, two captain's chairs in the middle row, and a third-row bench seat that can fit up to three people. Everyone will stay nice and comfortable, even on long road trips, thanks to a luxurious interior that provides up to 43 inches of legroom in the front row, 39 inches in the middle row, and more than 32 inches of legroom in the rear seats. You also get nearly 60 inches of hip room in the front and second rows of seats, which is better than most other models out there.
If you are more interested in loading up with everything you need, then the Explorer is a fantastic option with a lot of room inside. Available power-folding third-row seats are incredibly easy to lower so that you gain more room in the back, while fold-flat second-row seats let you really take advantage of the cargo space inside the Explorer. Even with seven passengers, you get more than 18 cu ft. of cargo capacity behind the third row, or up to about 48 cu.ft. of cargo space behind the second row of seats. If you really need to take a lot with you, then you get nearly 88 cu.ft. of total cargo volume behind the front row of seats. Finally, the available hands-free power liftgate makes it easy to load up and hit the road.
When looking at a model like the 2021 Ford Explorer, you expect to find excellent technology features and options that make your experience while driving more enjoyable. Fortunately, that is exactly what you will find in this model, including a wide range of entertainment and comfort features that surpass many other SUVs on the road. As you might expect, the availability of many of these features depends upon which trim level you look at, so keep that in mind while considering your options.
One of the first things you might notice inside the Explorer is the available 10.1-inch LCD capacitive portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment display. This is like having a large tablet inside your vehicle at all times, relaying information to you about your entertainment features, navigation, and much more. As if that is not enough, there is also an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that provides you with critical information in real-time. You can customize and configure this display as you need, with different styles and animations indicating different drive modes.
The 2021 Ford Explorer has available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot functionality with support for up to 10 devices connected simultaneously to keep you connected at all times. You can choose available Multicontour front seats with Active Motion functionality that provides you with incredible comfort, as well as five different massage settings and three levels of intensity to help relieve any stress you might feel. If entertainment is a major interest for you, then the available 14-speaker premium B&O sound system will elevate your driving experience and surround you with incredible audio that you truly have to hear for yourself.
You can also get incredible safety technology with the Explorer, including the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 package. Every model comes with a pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, a blind spot information system, a lane-keeping system, and rear cross-traffic alert. Available additional safety technology includes evasive steering assist, intelligent adaptive cruise control, and a 360-degree camera for enhanced visibility around your vehicle. No matter what kind of technology you are most interested in, Ford has you covered.
