Impressive Cargo Capacity
Explorer provides up to 87 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first-row of seats when the second- and third-row seats are folded flat.

Tri-zone climate control lets you personalize the comfort level in all three rows with available individualized temperature settings. And the available heated steering wheel and heated and cooled seats are sure to keep you comfortable behind the wheel.
Hands-Free, Foot Activated Liftgate
With the available Intelligent Access key fob in your pocket or purse, just give a little kick under the rear bumper and the hands-free, foot-activated liftgate automatically opens - making it easier to load and unload cargo. You can also adjust the liftgate height, which is helpful for lower overhangs.
Intuitive Interior Design
Once inside, you'll notice an array of amenities that make for a comfortable and convenient drive.

Once you're there, all you have to do is hold the Active Park Assist button for the duration of the park and the system does the rest.

Post-Collision Braking

Available Reverse Brake Assist
With increasing audio and visual warnings, Reverse Brake Assist helps alert you to any objects you might have missed while slowly backing up. The system can detect both stationary and moving objects, including people and vehicles behind you, and can even apply the brakes to help prevent a collision.
