Performance in the Explorer ST-Line is enhanced by the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Electronic systems like speed-sensing steering and electronic stability control optimize handling and driving confidence, especially in changing road conditions. Drive modes and advanced traction control systems work behind the scenes to adapt throttle and shifting behavior, ensuring the SUV feels responsive whether navigating city streets or cruising on the highway.

The vehicle’s exterior parking camera, blind spot sensors, and emergency communication system (911 Assist) provide 360-degree situational awareness. Automatic high-beam headlights, ABS brakes, and electronic stability control work together to prevent incidents before they occur, while airbags for every seating row and occupant-sensing systems add further layers of protection. The Explorer’s approach means safety is proactive and digital, not just reactive.
