Agate Black Metallic is doing a lot of work on this 2026 Ford Explorer Active, and honestly, we are here for it. The deep, glossy finish sits on 18-inch Sparkle Silver-Painted Aluminum wheels, and the two together give this SUV a look that turns heads even in a parking lot full of crossovers. Body-color bumpers and a rear spoiler pull the whole exterior together, so the curb appeal is real before you even open the door.
Under the hood, a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission to keep things moving smartly, and 4WD means you are not stuck when the weather decides to act up. We would say this thing has horsepower to spare, but we do not want to stirrup too much excitement. The fuel economy checks in at 20 city and 27 highway MPG, which means fewer stops at the pump and more miles of smiling. Inside, you get Unique Cloth Heated Captain's Chairs up front in Space Gray, a second-row 35/30/35 bench with E-Z Entry, and a third-row bench, so the whole crew fits without anyone having to call shotgun twice. Dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air conditioning, and heated mirrors mean everyone stays comfortable, not just the driver.
The tech list on this Explorer Active is long enough to keep a road trip entertaining. Navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM with 360L are all on board, so you are never stuck searching for a signal or arguing over directions. Auto high-beam headlights, a rear parking camera, Electronic Stability Control, ABS brakes, and Ford's 911 Assist give you safety features that work quietly in the background. Steering wheel audio controls and a telescoping tilt wheel let you set things up exactly how you like, and once you do, a 10-speed transmission will make sure you are always in the right gear. Pun intended, obviously.
