Cabin Amenities

From the moment you climb into the 2021 Explorer’s spacious and accommodating cabin, you’ll understand why people from coast to coast can’t stop buzzing about this upscale SUV. While the base edition certainly brings a lot to the table with standard tri-zone automatic climate control and cloth seating surfaces, the Platinum model delivers the epitome of opulence. Thanks to the supple tri-diamond perforated leather upholstery, settling in for a long journey down Route 431 will be an experience to remember. Or, for a sportier look, choose the ST trim level to enjoy its embroidered headrests, City Silver accent stitching, and micro-perforated leather appointments. As an added bonus, available ambient lighting helps to set the mood for just about every occasion.

Technology

So, what else can you expect inside the 2021 Ford Explorer? Without question, this model is a tech icon, courtesy of standard FordPass Connect™¹ and its 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. However, to unlock the full potential of this model’s advanced features, you’ll want to go with the available SYNC® 4 infotainment system. In addition to making it possible to integrate your smartphone with the media center, this hub can also be equipped with voice-activated navigation to prevent you from missing a crucial turn or highway exit. Not to mention, the optional B&O® sound system from Bang & Olufsen®² equips your Explorer with up to 14 speakers, so you can fill the cabin with your favorite tunes wherever you venture. However, the base trim still has your entertainment needs covered with standard SiriusXM® Satellite Radio³.

Performance

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about the Ford Explorer’s performance. In addition to a standard 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine, the base model can also be equipped with optional components such as Intelligent 4WD and the Terrain Management System™ to help you get the most out of your various excursions. Furthermore, the powertrain is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift® capability for effortless acceleration. If you’re interested in tapping into more strength than the standard 300-hp4 and 310 lb.-ft. of torque4, give some thought to the Explorer ST. Along with its exclusive sport-tuned front and rear suspension, this trim level has a twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 powertrain that pumps out a sensational 400-hp4 and 415 lb.-ft. of torque4. When equipped to the Platinum model, this system produces 365-hp4 and 380 lb.-ft. of torque4.
