Engine Specs and Fuel Ratings
The 2025 Ford Explorer, which is for sale on our lot over in Roseville, has two engine offerings. First up, the standard motor is present on the Active, ST-Line, and Platinum models: 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood matched with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission, boasting an output of 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. If you decide to move up to the highest trim level, the ST, you get the most powerful engine offering; a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque! These models are also equipped with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The base 2.3-liter engine with a FWD setup returns 20 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway, while the 3.0-liter V6 engine understandably drops a touch to 18 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway.
Interior Highlights
A more premium feel exudes from the revamped interior of the 2025 Ford Explorer, for sale now. Soft-touch materials now cover most touchpoints, while contrast stitching enhances the dashboard, doors, and center console. Ford has transitioned to a sleek 13.2-inch horizontal high-resolution touchscreen, which has been seamlessly integrated into the dash, and presents a more minimalist design with the removal of physical buttons aside from a volume knob. We appreciate the new storage tray beneath the dash that adds both functionality and flair, the large cup holders, and the generously sized cubby under the armrest. Front and second-row seating is very comfortable, with plenty of legroom and headroom, and the fold-and-slide second-row seats provide easy access to the third row. Cargo space behind the third row measures at 16.3 cubic feet, which is about two cubic feet smaller than the previous model of the Ford Explorer. Technology is at the forefront, with an all-new Google-based system that features Google Maps and Google Assistant, which makes it easy to make calls and adjust the temp. One neat feature is the embedded Vivaldi browser, which lets you watch movies or TV shows, and even play games when the 2025 Ford Explorer is parked.
Trim Offering
Four trim levels of the 2025 Ford Explorer are for sale at Future Ford of Roseville, including the Active, ST-Line, Platinum and ST. They all come standard with RWD with the option to upgrade to four-wheel drive. Here is a breakdown of each model for your review
Active
This well-equipped base offering has ample seating for up to seven passengers and plenty of features to keep everyone comfortable like tri-zone climate control, heated and power-adjustable front seats, a 13.2-inch infotainment screen, and 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and multiple USB ports. We love the 18-inch Sparkle Silver-painted aluminum wheels and black mesh grill with chrome cross bars on the exterior, as well as the power liftgate and the LED headlights and taillights.
ST-Line
If you are the sporty kind, you will love the 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line trim level, which adds sporty black exterior accents like a black mesh grill and blackout treatment on the headlights and taillights, as well as 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with ebony accents, and an “EXPLORER” hood badge to finish off the look. Luxurious interior accents like ActiveX seating material with Miko inserts and red accent stitching add to the upscale feel. You also get a 10-speaker sound system by Bang & Olufsen with a subwoofer, a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, and a 360-degree view camera
Platinum
Luxury is at its highest with the Platinum trim, which boasts heated and ventilated multicontour front seats, leather upholstery, a twin-panel sunroof, a 980-watt B&O sound system with 14 speakers, a wireless charging pad, and heated rear seats. The exterior receives special treatment with satin aluminum trim elements, 20-inch Luster Nickel-painted aluminum wheels, a unique grille, and adaptive headlights.
ST
The ST is the only trim to offer the more performance-oriented 3.0-liter engine that pounds out 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, and features high-performance brakes with red calipers, 21-inch Magnetite-painted aluminum wheels, and quad chrome exhaust tips.
