Dealer Comments
This SUV appeals to drivers who see refinement as a daily essential rather than a rare indulgence. Those who commute through the Lakeland, FL area or embark on family road trips will find the Explorer Active’s versatile three-row seating, rear air conditioning, and thoughtfully appointed interior allow everyone to travel in comfort. The design prioritizes both elevated style and practical flexibility, ensuring that passengers in every row experience a sense of space and calm. If your lifestyle demands both the presence of an SUV and the subtlety of upscale features, this model’s blend of modern finishes and intuitive controls makes it a rewarding choice.
Powering the Explorer Active is a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, channeled to the rear wheels for a composed and balanced ride. Engineered for quiet operation, it delivers effortless acceleration with minimal vibration, making highway merges and city driving equally stress-free. The suspension and four-wheel independent setup absorb imperfections, allowing the cabin to remain an oasis of calm. This focus on noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) isolation ensures your journeys are as peaceful as they are smooth, distinguishing every drive with a sense of executive polish.
Safety in the Explorer Active is seamlessly integrated, providing peace of mind without intruding on the premium ambiance. Advanced features like electronic stability control, ABS brakes, emergency communication via 911 Assist, and an exterior rear parking camera work quietly in the background to enhance driver confidence. Dual front and side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and active brake assist are complemented by automatic high-beam headlights and speed-sensing steering, delivering unobtrusive support. These technologies collectively create an environment where occupants are protected by sophisticated, nearly invisible systems.
The Explorer Active’s suite of features is tailored for a premium experience. Navigation keeps every journey on course, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make media and connectivity effortless. The AM/FM radio with SiriusXM 360L and a six-speaker setup envelops the cabin in high-quality sound. Dual-zone automatic temperature control and rear air conditioning ensure personalized comfort for every passenger. Power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated mirrors, remote keyless entry, and a power liftgate streamline daily routines, while ambient cabin lighting and touch-friendly finishes reinforce the SUV’s upmarket feel.
Against other three-row crossovers such as the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer Active stands out for its tactile quality and acoustic refinement.
What premium materials are used in the interior? The Explorer Active features finely grained materials, soft-touch surfaces, and a thoughtfully coordinated gray color palette for a cohesive, upscale atmosphere. How quiet is the cabin? Advanced sealing, acoustic glass, and refined suspension tuning keep exterior noise to a minimum for a hushed ride.
To explore the 2026 Ford Explorer Active and discover a new level of everyday refinement, visit Lakeland Automall at 1430 W Memorial Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33815 or call (863) 577-5030. Experience firsthand how this SUV elevates every drive through premium features, comfort, and thoughtful design tailored to your lifestyle.
