The 2026 Explorer Active is built on a foundation of thoughtful design and practical engineering. Its 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive delivers an efficient balance of power and fuel economy, returning 20 miles per gallon in the city and 27 on the highway. The blue exterior finish presents a sophisticated appearance that complements the vehicle's active lifestyle positioning.
Inside, the cabin reflects Ford's commitment to comfort and connectivity. The heated captain's chairs in the front and second rows provide support for longer journeys, while the second row HVAC controls ensure passengers stay comfortable. The panoramic roof floods the interior with natural light, creating an open and inviting atmosphere. Climate control extends throughout the cabin with automatic temperature management and rear air conditioning.
Safety is woven into every aspect of this Explorer Active. The comprehensive airbag system, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control work together to protect occupants. The exterior parking camera assists with maneuvering, while the low tire pressure warning system and emergency communication system provide additional peace of mind.
Technology seamlessly integrates into your daily driving experience. The navigation system guides your route, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your smartphone connected through the six-speaker audio system. SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L brings entertainment options to every drive. The remote start system allows you to warm or cool the cabin before you even step outside.
Practical touches make ownership convenient. The SecuriCode keyless entry keypad offers secure access without fumbling for keys, and the front and second-row floor liners protect the interior from dirt and moisture. An 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit ensure you're prepared for unexpected situations.
