A New Standard for the Family SUV

The midsize SUV market is more competitive than ever, but the redesigned 2026 Ford Explorer stands out as a top contender for families and adventurers alike. Combining a bold new look with advanced technology and versatile capability, the latest Explorer is built to handle everything from daily commutes to cross-country road trips. If you're searching for a vehicle that seamlessly blends safety, comfort, and innovation, the 2026 Ford Explorer might be the perfect fit. Let's explore some of its most impressive features.

A Commitment to Safety

For any family vehicle, safety is essential. The 2026 Ford Explorer delivers peace of mind with the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, a suite of advanced driver-assist features. This system acts as a vigilant partner on the road.

The lane-keeping system helps prevent unintentional drifting by using a forward-facing camera to scan lane markings, alerting you or providing gentle steering assistance if you start to stray from the lane. Another key feature is BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, which acts as a second set of eyes. It alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots during lane changes and can detect traffic approaching from the sides when you're backing out of a parking space. For long highway drives, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go not only maintains your set speed but also automatically adjusts to keep a preset distance from the vehicle ahead, even bringing your Explorer to a complete stop in traffic.

Unparalleled Comfort and Convenience

Inside, the 2026 Explorer is a sanctuary of comfort. With three rows and spacious seating for up to seven people, there's ample room for the whole family and their friends. Long journeys become more pleasant with available heated front-row seats that provide warmth on chilly mornings.

For those seeking a truly premium experience, the Explorer offers available multicontour front seats with Active Motion massage technology, perfect for reducing fatigue on extended trips. Elevate the cabin's atmosphere with available ambient lighting that provides a choice of colors to match your mood. The auditory experience is just as luxurious, thanks to an available Bang & Olufsen sound system. Depending on the trim, you can enjoy your favorite music and podcasts through a crystal-clear 10-speaker or a dynamic 14-speaker setup.

Expansive Cargo Room for Any Adventure

Versatility is a hallmark of a great SUV, and the Explorer excels with its flexible interior and impressive cargo capacity. Even with all three rows in use, you get a generous 18.2 cubic feet of space, perfect for groceries or sports equipment.

Need more room? Folding the third-row seats is simple, opening up the cargo area to 47.9 cubic feet. For those moments when you need maximum hauling capability—whether for a home improvement project or moving day—folding both the second and third rows flat reveals a cavernous 87.8 cubic feet of space, ensuring you're ready for whatever life throws your way.

Cutting-Edge Technology at Your Fingertips

The 2026 Explorer is the smartest one yet, thanks to the all-new Ford Digital Experience infotainment system. It is powered through a stunning, standard 13.2-inch touchscreen that serves as your command center. This system provides seamless access to your favorite apps and entertainment.

Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration means you can leave the cords at home, while a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot keeps everyone connected on the go. The system also features an integrated voice assistant and Google Maps for intuitive, real-time navigation and traffic updates, making every drive simpler and more connected.
