The 2026 Ford Explorer Active welcomes you with a sense of elevated comfort from the moment you open the door. The Star White Metallic Tri-Coat exterior creates a striking first impression, while the Dark Space Gray interior envelops passengers in a serene, modern cabin. Every detail, from the soft-touch dashboard to the ambient lighting, is designed to heighten the sensory experience, providing a tranquil environment that stands apart from ordinary SUVs.

This SUV is ideal for those seeking refinement in their daily drive and family adventures. The Explorer Active trim offers a thoughtfully balanced blend of utility and sophistication, making it a compelling choice for discerning buyers who value both comfort and advanced features. Its third-row seating and dual-zone automatic temperature control ensure all occupants ride in comfort, whether commuting or embarking on road trips. In climates like Lakeland, FL, the airy cabin and efficient air conditioning system keep every journey pleasant, no matter the season.

On the road, the SUV’s 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers power with impressive smoothness and minimal intrusion into the cabin. The rear-wheel drive setup contributes to confident handling, while the suspension’s tuning absorbs bumps and isolates road imperfections, enabling a quiet, composed ride. Engine vibrations and outside noise are kept at bay, creating an environment where conversations and premium audio can be enjoyed without distraction.

Safety is seamlessly integrated, ensuring peace of mind without disrupting the SUV’s elegant character. Advanced systems such as Electronic Stability Control, ABS brakes, and traction control work in the background to maintain stability and grip. The inclusion of dual front, side, and knee airbags, along with an exterior parking camera and Emergency communication system: 911 Assist, means occupants are shielded by technology designed to intervene only when necessary, reinforcing a sense of effortless protection.

Premium features define the Explorer Active’s interior. The Navigation System and AM/FM radio with SiriusXM and 360L offer entertainment and connectivity, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrate seamlessly with personal devices. Front dual-zone automatic climate control, heated door mirrors, and power driver seat are tailored for comfort and convenience. Thoughtful touches like rear air conditioning, illuminated entry, and steering wheel mounted audio controls enhance the daily luxury experience.

Against premium competitors like the Honda Pilot Touring and Toyota Highlander XLE, the Explorer Active distinguishes itself with its refined cabin atmosphere and advanced technology suite. Tactile quality is evident in every contact point, and the acoustic insulation ensures a quieter ride than many rivals. Ownership is elevated by a transferable 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, reinforcing long-term satisfaction and confidence in the SUV’s value proposition.

What premium materials are used in the interior? The cabin features high-quality soft-touch surfaces and carefully selected trim in Dark Space Gray. How quiet is the cabin? The Explorer Active employs extensive insulation and refined engineering to reduce both engine and road noise, delivering a hushed environment even at highway speeds.
