Your Guide to the 2022 Ford Explorer

1. Exterior

The 2022 Explorer’s redesigned LED low-beam headlights, taillights, and a body-color matching liftgate spoiler will turn heads wherever you go. It also has a length and height of 198.8 and 69.9 inches, respectively. The overall width with mirrors is 89.3 inches. Upgradable exterior features include a dual-panel roof, splash guards, wheel lock kit, and roof rails.

Your newest Ford Explorer comes in several exterior color paint options, including agate black, forged green, rapid red, atlas blue, stone blue, star white, and more.

2. Performance

It is not a Ford if it doesn’t offer you a powerful performance. The base engine is a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb. feet of torque. Drivers seeking more power will be delighted by the 3-liter V6 engine that cranks 400 horsepower and 415 lb. feet of torque. Both engines work with a 10-speed automatic transmission that operates smoothly.

Lastly, the 3.3-liter hybrid powertrain delivers 318 horsepower and 322 lb. feet of torque. While using a rear-wheel drive, the V6 has a fuel economy of 18 mpg in the city and 24mpg on the highway.

3. Driver-Assist Features

The 2022 Explorer comes fully loaded with intelligent driver-aid features to ensure you and your passengers are safe wherever you choose to go. You can access features like auto high beam headlights, rear parking sensors, and Ford’s MyKey, which allows you to set audio and speed restrictions for secondary drivers. The blind-spot monitoring alerts the driver about vehicles that may have escaped visuality in the side-view mirrors.

The lane departure warning helps to avoid possible collisions caused by drifting or departing your lane. Other available features include evasive steering assist, adaptive cruise control, front parking sensors, lane centering, and a surround-view parking camera system.

4. Infotainment and Connectivity

Ford has equipped the all-new Explorer with modern infotainment and connectivity features to help you enjoy even the longest trips. Standard infotainment features include an 8-inch touchscreen system, compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a WIFI hotspot, a 6-speaker sound system, and two USB ports.

If you don’t find the base display system large enough, you may opt for the available 10.1-inch touchscreen. More features provided as upgrades are a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, two more USB ports, and a 12- or 14-speaker B&O stereo.

The new Ford Explorer is ready for all those destinations you’re planning to explore. With three rows of seats, ambient lighting, and a maximum cargo volume of 87.8 cubic feet, this is the best family car you could ever wish for.
