If there’s one SUV that has generated a buzz amongst drivers and outdoor enthusiasts alike, it’s the 2023 Ford Explorer. Offering both four-wheel drive and a terrain management system, as well as muscular towing strength, this adventurer is ready for fun, on or off-road.
1. A Fuel-Efficient Engine
Although there are three impressive engines offered for this edition of the Explorer, including a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, it’s the 3.3-liter hybrid V6 that offers the best bet. This engine perfectly blends strong performance with fuel efficiency, as it produces 318 horsepower while still getting an exceptional 27 mpg in estimated city/highway mileage: an achievement just about every SUV strives for but few attain.
2. Entertainment for All
With the vehicle’s infotainment system, SYNC 3, puts navigation, music, videos, and apps all at your fingertips, this vehicle is packed with features. If you’re driving, you can also use your voice to control many of these features. It’s sure to please your passengers, as you can wirelessly connect smartphones, so even those seated in the back can play their tunes or easily make hands-free calls to contacts saved on their smartphones.
3. Automated Cruising
To alleviate much of the stress that comes with driving long distances, the Adaptive Cruise Control feature can take over some of your basic driving responsibilities. While your eyes are still on the road, this system can keep the Explorer cruising along at your preferred speed while also adapting to the speed of the traffic around you by using both brake pressure and engine torque. This ensures there’s always plenty of distance between you and any vehicle that’s driving in front of you.
4. First-Class Seating
Long known for its comfortable interior, the Explorer has always offered luxury seating options, though the 2023 edition takes things up a notch. Along with diamond-perforated leather trim, there are other premium fabrics available, like high-end Deep Cypress ActiveX material or a heating setting to help you quickly warm up as soon as you climb inside on cold days.
5. Active Park Assist
To help make parking an easier process, Active Park Assist 2.0 can perform most functions for you after you’ve chosen an appropriate place to park. Once you come across an available spot, the system can then use braking, steering, and acceleration to move the vehicle into that slot, even if it involves parallel or perpendicular maneuvers.
If the 2023 Explorer’s performance and versatility weren’t already impressive enough, then there’s its cutting-edge technology and interior comfort amenities that all help make it the perfect SUV for every occasion.
