For extreme off-road driving and comfortable city commutes, only one rugged vehicle comes to mind. The seven-seater 2022 Explorer is the original go-anywhere SUV with an updated design that offers phenomenal performance, trailblazing technology, and the safety systems every driver deserves on today’s unpredictable roads. As a proper introduction, here are some of the alluring key features you’ll find in the 2022 Ford Explorer.
Three Stunning Engines
The Explorer’s wide array of stunning engine options includes a 2.3L I4 engine with 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, which is sure to impress with its responsive acceleration. If you’re looking for the benefits of owning a green vehicle, a 3.3L V6 hybrid engine is also available, which ups the ante with 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque, a surprising combo for any fuel-efficient vehicle.
Then there’s the strongest engine, a 400 horsepower 3.0L EcoBoost V6, which pairs perfectly with the Explorer’s race-inspired ST trim. As for shifting, a 10-speed automatic transmission complements every engine, so you have a full range of gears available for quiet, effortless shifts at all speeds.
Comfort Meets Style
As one would expect, the Explorer’s performance is paired with a luxurious cabin that’s packed full of comfortable seating options, including leather heated seats. To stay refreshed on long drives, there’s also a pair of multi-contour seats with lumbar support and an Active Motion massage function for both your upper and lower back.
If you opt for one of the Timberline models, you’ll find bright orange-colored tow hooks in the front of the vehicle for getting out of jams or helping out others, as well as all-terrain tires, and the Timberline logo laser etched onto a set of distinctive high-gloss black-painted aluminum wheels.
Advanced Technology
To simplify parking, Active Park Assist 2.0 is an autonomous system that can locate available spots for you to park in, at which point you can simply shift the Explorer into neutral, press the activation button, and the vehicle will then maneuver itself into the spot without any further input from you.
There’s also an available 360-degree camera bundle, which transmits a split-view projection to the SYNC 3 infotainment system’s capacitive touchscreen inside the cabin, so you can keep an eye on more than one area around the vehicle at all times.
Sophisticated Safety
Also offered with the Explorer is Ford Co-Pilot360, a unique suite of safety features that remain active during drives to monitor both the road and the vehicle’s behavior. Pre-Collision Assist and rear parking sensors help to keep you safe by making you aware of obstacles or other vehicles that are either nearby in parking lots or stopped on the road up ahead.
Any driver that has had to stop at a traffic light on a hill knows how easy it is for the vehicle to roll its way into an accident if the driver’s foot doesn’t move fast enough between the brake and accelerator pedal. With Hill Start Assist, you won’t have to worry about this, as the system gives you additional time to safely make the switch between the pedals.
