Known for its adventurous spirit, the 2023 Ford Explorer is an SUV that's ready for fun, thanks to its reliable engine performance and available off-roading capabilities. It's also perfect for both daily commutes and long-distance journeys, as it offers a spacious cabin that seats up to seven and plenty of tech features.

1. A 318-HP Hybrid Engine

This edition of the Explorer provides three engine options to choose from, with up to 400 horsepower produced by the strongest, though the 3.3-liter hybrid V6 is the most unique in the group. Not only does this engine churn out 318 horses, more than enough to easily go the distance on highways or power your way through off-road trails, but it also lends the vehicle an impressive 27 mpg in combined city/highway mileage.

2. A Self-Parking System

Maneuvering your way in and out of tight parking spaces can be stressful sometimes, which is why Active Park Assist 2.0 easily makes this list. This feature can simplify the process for you by parking the vehicle automatically after you've selected a parking spot by controlling engine torque, steering, and braking, and best of all, it can perform parallel and perpendicular maneuvers as well.

3. Full-Color Entertainment

Among this edition's many impressive tech features, the SYNC infotainment system takes center stage. This system delivers turn-by-turn route instructions when you're lost, access to SiriusXM radio for podcasts and music, and hands-free calling when you need to reach out to family or friends, as well as your choice of how to control it between its full-color touchscreen display and voice recognition capabilities.

4. Unique Seating Options

The Explorer's seats are praiseworthy as well, with both luxury and style prioritized in every unique option. In addition to both ventilated and heated seats in the front row and heated seats in the second row, you can opt for many stylish designs, like the City Silver accent stitching and ST logo found on the ST trim's seats and the Mesa/Norias-colored leather seats with Lasso-perforated inserts in King Ranch models.

5. Smart Collision Avoidance

If you've ever found yourself approaching a stationary vehicle too quickly, Pre-Collision Assist was designed for this type of scenario, as it warns you when this is occurring, and if you don't respond by slowing down or changing lanes, Automatic Emergency Braking then activates to automatically slow your vehicle to prevent a collision.

Impressive horsepower, excellent fuel-efficiency, a cozy cabin, and advanced safety systems are just the start of everything this versatile SUV has to offer. Come get a closer glimpse at Coughlin Ford of Circleville today.
