New 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum
Vehicle Details
Description
Shoppers who have narrowed their search to a handful of three-Row SUVs will find the Explorer Platinum especially compelling. Those prioritizing comfort for every passenger-whether commuting or taking family road trips in and around St. Louis-will appreciate its ventilated and heated front seats, heated rear seats, and tri-zone automatic climate control. The third-Row bench seat and power liftgate make family loading and unloading seamless, while the expansive panoramic roof creates an airy, upscale atmosphere that sets it apart from the competition.
While Chevrolet Traverse and Toyota Highlander offer strong V6 options, the Explorer Platinum’s 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers confident acceleration with impressive EPA ratings of 20 city and 27 highway MPG. The 4WD drivetrain provides added assurance in inclement weather and on varied terrain, giving drivers more confidence during winter or rainy seasons. Its four-wheel independent suspension and electronic stability control further contribute to a composed, smooth ride whether navigating city streets or open highway.
Safety is another area where this SUV excels, starting with standard features like blind spot monitoring, rear parking camera, rain-sensing wipers, and auto high-beam headlights. While some rivals make buyers upgrade for these technologies, the Explorer Platinum includes them at no extra cost. ABS brakes, traction control, dual front and side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and emergency communication with 911 Assist add further peace of mind, ensuring that both drivers and passengers are well-protected on daily drives or long trips.
Premium features define the Platinum trim, highlighted by the Lux Leather Package, navigation system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, and a high-end 14-speaker audio system with SiriusXM 360L. The panoramic fixed glass roof with power shade enhances both visibility and comfort, while memory seat settings, a heated steering wheel, and fully automatic headlights cater to driver convenience. Power-adjustable front seats, auto-dimming mirrors, and a SecuriCode™ keyless entry key
