Dealer Comments
Analytical shoppers who compare spec sheets and prioritize maximizing value will appreciate the Explorer Active’s blend of included features and cost efficiency. Its third-row seating and premium synthetic interior provide flexibility for families or those needing extra cargo capacity, making it especially useful in regions like Lakeland, FL, where versatility for weekend trips or daily commutes is a plus. The inclusion of SiriusXM with 360L, remote keyless entry, and a power driver seat as standard ensures buyers don’t have to compromise on comfort or technology. This SUV appeals strongly to those who want a complete package without upselling or forced add-ons.
The Explorer Active delivers a compelling power-to-price ratio with its 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth, responsive acceleration and efficient highway cruising. Its rear-wheel drive configuration strikes a balance between handling confidence and cost efficiency, particularly advantageous for drivers seeking lower maintenance expenses over time. With an EPA-estimated 20 city and 29 highway MPG, owners benefit from meaningful fuel savings compared to larger, less efficient SUVs, translating directly into lower operating costs and better long-term value retention.
Safety value is a highlight in this SUV, as it includes a comprehensive set of standard safety technologies such as ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, dual front and side impact airbags, and an exterior parking camera. Unlike some competitors that charge extra for active safety suites, the Explorer Active features auto high-beam headlights and emergency communication with 911 Assist without any additional cost. Practical safety integration means buyers receive genuine protection as part of the base offering, not as an expensive add-on.
This SUV’s standard equipment list is impressively dense, with automatic temperature control, rear air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a split folding rear seat all included. Comfort and convenience are further enhanced by a power driver seat, speed-sensing steering, and steering wheel audio controls.
When compared to alternatives like the Honda Pilot EX and Toyota Highlander LE, the Explorer Active distinguishes itself by including navigation, advanced infotainment, and premium synthetic seating at the base trim, while competitors often require stepping up to higher trims for similar content.
What’s included as standard equipment? The Explorer Active provides navigation, tri-zone climate, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM, rear camera, and comprehensive airbags all as standard. Is this SUV worth the price? Yes, because it delivers a greater spread of standard features and safety tech than most entry-level competitors. Which trim level offers the best value? The Active trim sits at an ideal intersection of equipment and affordability.
