Your Guide to the 2023 Ford Explorer
Dynamic Performance
The 2023 Explorer’s engine options are all notable due to their strong horsepower, as even the smallest option, a 2.3-liter I-4, offers an impressive output with 300 horsepower. Next in line in terms of power is the 3.3-liter V6, a hybrid that gets an EPA-estimated 28 mpg on highways, though if it’s muscle you’re after, the 400-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 is the strongest option.
When taking your adventures off-road, you’ll love the available Intelligent 4WD system, which optimizes the vehicle to different surfaces automatically. This system is complemented by a terrain management system that offers multiple modes for tackling tough terrains, whether it’s sand, gravel, mud, or slippery roads.
A Comfortable Cabin
Also known for its first-class interior amenities, this edition offers heated, perforated-leather seating, an ambient lighting feature for calming vibes when you need it, and a twin-panel moonroof that’s perfect for stargazing with family or friends.
In addition to tri-zone climate control, there’s also a rear auxiliary control, which allows passengers in the second row to fully control temperatures in the rear of the vehicle. As for accessing the rear, the E-Z Entry second-row seats can be moved out of the way by simply pulling a lever.
Cutting-Edge Tech
Many of the 2023 Explorer’s tech features are impressive as well, from the wireless smartphone charging pad to the two high-clarity B&O audio systems. To help you navigate your way around obstacles when driving off-road, the optional 360-degree camera lets you see around the vehicle with live split-screen images.
Mixing entertainment, navigation assistance, apps, and smartphone connectivity into an all-in-one system, SYNC 3 provides everything you need to spice up daily commutes and road adventures with an available full-color 10.1-inch touchscreen.
Sophisticated Safety
Combining convenient technology with safety, the vehicle’s many driver-assist features can make journeys both safer and more relaxing, like the Automatic High-Beam Headlamps. If headlights from an oncoming vehicle are detected, these headlamps can automatically switch your high beams to low beams to prevent distractions for other drivers.
There’s also the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), which keeps guard over your blind spots by letting you know whenever other vehicles are entering them. Even parking is easier, thanks to Active Park Assist 2.0, which can automatically park the vehicle once you’ve chosen a good spot to do so.
The fun-loving 2023 Explorer offers outstanding engine performance, off-road capabilities, and a seven-seater cabin that’s ready to accommodate. Come see all of this versatile SUV’s other features by stopping in and visiting us today at Village Ford.
