The Active trim brings purposeful engineering to the three-row SUV category. Its 4WD system delivers confident handling across varying road conditions, while the 2.3L EcoBoost engine balances power delivery with efficiency—achieving 20 city and 27 highway MPG. The ten-speed automatic transmission provides smooth acceleration and responsive performance whether you're navigating city streets or highway corridors.

Inside, the Explorer Active prioritizes passenger comfort and driver control. Heated captain's chairs in the first and second rows feature premium ActiveX seating material, complemented by a heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control. The power driver seat adjusts to your preference, while the telescoping steering wheel ensures proper positioning for every driver. All occupants benefit from dedicated HVAC controls, and the rear window defroster handles demanding weather with ease.

Technology seamlessly integrates into your driving experience. The navigation system guides you efficiently, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your smartphone's capabilities at your fingertips. SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio offers entertainment options for extended drives. Steering wheel mounted controls let you manage audio and other functions without taking your hands off the wheel.

Safety is engineered throughout. Dual front impact airbags, front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags create a protective environment. Electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel independent suspension work together to maintain vehicle stability. The speed-sensing steering adjusts responsiveness to driving conditions, and brake assist enhances your stopping power. An exterior parking camera rear helps you navigate tight spaces with confidence.

The Explorer Active's practical design includes a rear window wiper with speed-sensitive operation, power windows and door mirrors, and an overhead console for organized storage. The split folding rear seat adapts to your cargo needs, while 3rd row all-weather floor liners protect against dirt and moisture. Remote keyless entry and a remote start system add convenience to daily ownership.
