The 2025 Ford Explorer continues to raise the bar for what a midsize SUV should be. As one of America’s favorite family vehicles, the Explorer has built its legacy on performance, practicality, and innovation—and this year’s model is no exception. Whether you’re transporting the family, towing weekend toys, or exploring the open road, the 2025 Explorer delivers with refined powertrains, cutting-edge technology, and smart features that make life on the move easier and more enjoyable.

Bold and Confident Design
The 2025 Ford Explorer arrives with refreshed styling that turns heads in any setting. A bolder grille, sleeker LED headlights, and updated wheel designs give the SUV a modern, athletic stance. It’s unmistakably Explorer—but with an extra dose of sophistication. Choose from a wide range of exterior colors and wheel options to personalize your ride, and opt for trims like the ST-Line or Platinum to further express your style with sporty or upscale touches.
The Explorer’s exterior isn’t just about looks—it’s also engineered for function. With available roof rails, hands-free power liftgate, and smart aerodynamic lines, the Explorer is as practical as it is attractive.
Room to Move, Comfort to Enjoy
Inside, the 2025 Explorer is all about space, comfort, and flexibility. With seating for up to seven passengers, the Explorer offers three rows of spacious seating, ideal for growing families or weekend carpools. The available second-row captain’s chairs create a premium feel while making access to the third row easier than ever.
Need more room for cargo? No problem. The PowerFold® third-row seat folds flat with the push of a button, opening up up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space—plenty of room for sports gear, luggage, or even small furniture.
Premium touches like available leather-trimmed seats, a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and tri-zone automatic climate control ensure that every drive is as comfortable as it is capable.
