Ford Explorer® – America’s alltime best-selling SUV1 – sets a new standard again with an updated lineup of models, all featuring a redesigned interior, advanced new technology and bolder exterior styling to create Ford’s best Explorer yet.  For more than three decades, Explorer has helped define SUV comfort, performance and functionality. The new 2025 Explorer lineup – from well-equipped Active to stylish ST-Line to high-performance ST and top-of-the-line Platinum – continues that legacy with a more refined cabin that features sophisticated new color, texture and material choices, and introduces the new Ford Digital Experience infotainment system.  And for the first time, Explorer drivers who opt for ST-Line, ST and Platinum models can enjoy the convenience of Ford BlueCruise2 hands-free highway driving.      “For nearly 35 years, families have chosen the Ford Explorer, making it America’s all-time bestselling SUV. We have refined almost every part of the new Explorer – focusing on a redesigned interior, additional technology like BlueCruise hands-free highway driving and special editions like the 400 horsepower Explorer ST. It’s the right combination of delivering what the next generation of customers want and love in a large SUV,” said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue.  Explore with More • Travel in comfort – Redesigned interior with softer touchpoints and premium materials makes for more comfortable journeys.  • Hands-free exploring – Available Ford BlueCruise2 makes hands-free highway driving a reality for Explorer owners. • Extend your digital life – The Ford Digital Experience infotainment system enables drivers to access their favorite apps and services from Google and Amazon3, through the new integrated native experience, as well as with Apple CarPlay® powered by iPhone and Android Auto™ through other compatible devices4.

An integrated tray below the touchscreen houses an available wireless phone charging pad and there are USB connections to charge mobile devices in all three rows.5 “The new Explorer starts with a great foundation. Customers told us they love the way it drives and the choice of rear-wheel and all-wheel drive.
