The Ford Explorer, an American staple in the mid-size SUV market and one of the most popular SUVs in America, has been redesigned for the 2025 model year. Although not a complete overhaul, the Explorer’s revamp will help Ford maintain its leadership in this competitive market segment. The design refresh brings many exciting updates, from aesthetic changes to technological advancements, ensuring that the 2025 Ford Explorer will appeal to long-time fans and new buyers alike.
At Mike White Ford, we’re thrilled to introduce the newest Explorer which is slated to be in our showroom later this year. If you come into our showroom for a test drive, here are some features you’ll notice.
Modernized Exterior
The 2025 Ford Explorer sports a modern and sophisticated exterior. The front has been reimagined, featuring a bolder grille, sleeker headlights that utilize the latest LED technology, and updated fog lamps. These changes not only enhance the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal but also improve visibility and safety during nighttime driving. The rear of the Explorer has received attention, too, with updated taillights, a lightbar, and a redesigned bumper that give the SUV a more contemporary look. All Explorers come equipped with a standard Class II trailer hitch.
Upgraded Interior
Step inside the 2025 Explorer, and you’ll immediately notice changes in the cabin. The interior architecture has been redesigned for visual appeal and convenience, providing greater comfort and luxury. The dash offers a digital instrument cluster for clear visibility and monitoring of vehicle systems. Quality materials like soft-touch plastics are now standard across all trims. The seating has been improved to provide enhanced ergonomics, ensuring a comfortable ride for six or seven occupants (depending on the seat configuration), whether on a short commute or a long road trip. The third-row seats offer more legroom, making the Explorer a more viable option for families.
Enhanced Technology
Ford has packed the 2025 Explorer with the latest technology for connectivity and entertainment. The centerpiece is the new 15.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dubbed the “Ford Digital Experience,” that provides a more intuitive interface with a suite of Google applications, faster processing times, and seamless integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can download apps directly into the system to stream video or even play video games when the vehicle is not moving. For audiophiles, the Explorer offers a premium sound system by Bang & Olufsen with a speaker bar integrated into the dashboard, ensuring high-quality audio throughout the cabin.
Advanced Safety Features
Ford has always prioritized safety, and the 2025 Explorer is no exception. The redesigned model has advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) under the Ford Co-Pilot360™ umbrella. New features include Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system, an improved adaptive cruise control system with stop-and-go functionality, lane-keeping assist, and an enhanced blind-spot monitoring system with cross-traffic alert. The Explorer also features a 360-degree camera system that provides the driver with a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s surroundings.
Improved Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the 2025 Ford Explorer offers several powertrain options. The base model features Ford’s turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine, delivering a balance of power and fuel efficiency. For those seeking higher performance and power, there is an available 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine, providing robust acceleration and towing capabilities.
The 2025 Ford Explorer’s refreshed design brings a host of improvements that make this already popular SUV even more appealing. With its modernized exterior, upgraded interior, enhanced technology, advanced safety features, and improved performance options, the new Explorer is ready to tackle the demands of today’s drivers.
