The 2027 Ford Explorer Active has a third-row bench seat and heated captain's chairs, so the whole carpool fits and nobody has to fight over the middle. It is a new Explorer in Agate Black Metallic with a Space Gray interior, and it is priced at $47,210. Under the hood is a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a 10-speed automatic and 4WD. That setup is made for early school drops and weekend tournaments, and it is rated at 20 city and 27 highway MPG.
We know how a family vehicle really gets used. Snacks get dropped, water bottles tip over, and cleats come straight off the field. The Explorer Active has a split folding rear seat, so you can fold part of it down for gear and still carry passengers. There are door bins for the small stuff and rear reading lights for kids who want a book on a long drive. The seats are Heated ActiveX captain's chairs and unique cloth heated captain's chairs. Come see them in person and bring your own spill test if you like. The heated steering wheel and remote start take some of the sting out of a cold New England morning.
Safety gets plenty of attention here. You get dual front airbags, dual front side impact airbags, a knee airbag, an overhead airbag, and an occupant sensing airbag. Electronic Stability Control, traction control, brake assist, and ABS with 4-wheel disc brakes are all included. So are a rear parking camera, a low tire pressure warning, auto high-beam headlights, and 911 Assist. Entertainment keeps the back seats happy, with a navigation system, SiriusXM with 360L, six speakers, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Second row HVAC controls mean the kids can sort out their own temperature.
