Upscale luxury meets off-road versatility in the 2023 Ford Explorer, a stylish SUV that delivers reliable engine performance and four-wheel drive in a sophisticated three-row design. In addition to offering seating for up to seven inside its spacious cabin, this rugged adventurer provides plenty of advanced technology to enhance every drive, as well as these five features you’re sure to love.
1. A Fuel-Efficient Hybrid V6
The 2023 Explorer’s many engine options are all impressively powerful, but the 3.3-liter hybrid V6 distinguishes itself from the others by offering the excellent fuel efficiency without compromising performance. This engine helps the vehicle get up to 28 mpg on highways, while also generating 318 horsepower and delivering a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, making it ideal for just about every occasion.
2. Wide-Screen Infotainment
Providing entertainment options, hands-free calling, a wide range of apps, and navigation assistance, this edition’s SYNC 3 infotainment system has it all. Not only does it provide both a 10.1-inch touchscreen display and a voice command option if you’re busy driving, but it also offers smartphone connectivity without cables, thanks to its convenient Bluetooth function.
3. A Self-Parking System
Maneuvering your way into tight spaces in packed parking lots can be stressful, though, luckily, the Active Park Assist 2.0 feature can easily simplify this for you. Once you’ve identified an available parking space, this system can autonomously park the vehicle for you by controlling steering, acceleration, and braking. Best of all, it can handle difficult maneuvers like parallel and perpendicular parking as well.
4. Luxurious Seating Options
The Explorer’s cabin is both luxurious and stylish, and its comfortable seats are a big reason for that. With options like leather trim, Active Motion massage, and both heating and cooling settings, every drive is made more enjoyable. Also offered are both manual- and power-folding rear seats, giving you all the convenience needed to haul cargo with ease.
5. Adaptive Cruise Control
It’s a hassle to have to adjust your speed when the flow of traffic is constantly changing, which is why this SUV offers Adaptive Cruise Control. To make drives more relaxing, you can set a preferred cruising speed, and while this system will keep the vehicle moving at that speed when possible, it can also slow or stop the vehicle if others in front of you do so before resuming your cruising speed again when your path clears.
While the features covered here are all exciting in their own right, they barely scratch the surface when it comes to everything else this versatile SUV has to offer. Contact us today at Jim Hudson Ford to come see the 2023 Explorer up close or to schedule a test drive with our friendly staff.
