Vehicle Details
Description
Enthusiasts who appreciate the nuances of the driving experience will find this SUV compelling, especially those who seek a balance of comfort, responsiveness, and practical capability. The Explorer Active is well-suited for drivers who notice the difference in steering feedback or chassis composure and want a vehicle that makes every journey-whether through busy St. Louis commutes or long highway stretches-feel both confident and enjoyable. Its thoughtful mix of responsive controls, modern technology, and family-friendly features makes it a strong Fit for buyers who refuse to sacrifice engagement for utility.
Performance is where the Explorer Active truly excels. Powered by a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it responds briskly to throttle inputs, delivering smooth, linear acceleration ideal for merging or passing. The transmission shifts seamlessly, adapting quickly to changing demands while keeping the engine in its sweet spot. Four-wheel drive adds confidence on slippery roads and varied terrain, and the suspension tuning achieves the rare feat of absorbing road imperfections while maintaining reassuring composure through corners. The speed-sensitive steering communicates road texture subtly, making each drive feel both secure and involved.
Safety technology in the Explorer is designed to complement-not override-the driver’s control, enhancing the overall driving experience. Electronic Stability Control and traction control provide a secure foundation, intervening only when necessary to maintain composure during evasive maneuvers or slick conditions. The standard rearview camera aids in tight parking scenarios without detracting from the driver’s situational awareness. Emergency communication via 911 Assist adds peace of mind, while features like ABS, dual front and side airbags, and a brake assist system support confident stops in demanding situations, letting drivers focus on enjoying the road.
Inside, the Explorer Active blends comfort with purposeful technology. The Ultra Dark Space Gray cloth seats offer support for long drives, while three rows of seating-including a split-folding bench in the third
