Hybrid Performance

2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid Review

The Ford Explorer has one hybrid engine option that provides quite a bit of power. The 3.3L Hybrid engine delivers an impressive 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque. You’ll have the option of rear-wheel drive for a sporty performance or available intelligent 4-wheel drive, which provides traction when you need it.

If you’re interested in off-roading, the standard Terrain Management System™ will come in handy. This system shifts the engine’s performance to adapt to the environment you’re in.

Want to take a weekend away with a few toys? Bring whatever you need with the Explorer Hybrid’s maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

Interior Features

The interior of the Explorer Hybrid has room for up to seven people. Leather-trimmed seats come standard. Heated and ventilated front seats are also standard to keep those in the front comfortable, no matter the weather.

To help you get all the information and entertainment you need while on the go, the Explorer Hybrid has a standard infotainment system. This system has a 10.1-inch touchscreen, which you can use to access vehicle information and standard in-vehicle navigation. 

Audiophiles interested in the Explorer Hybrid will enjoy the available 14-speaker B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with a subwoofer. You’ll feel like you’re center stage while on the go!

Driver-Assisting and Safety Technologies

2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid Review

The 2023 Explorer Hybrid comes equipped with a suite of driver-assisting and safety features that can help mitigate accidents and make driving easier.

Some of the features that are part of your Explorer Hybrid include…

  • Rear parking sensors: These sensors monitor the space behind your vehicle. As you get closer to an object, the sensors beep and increase in frequency the closer you get.
  • Pre-Collision Assist® With Automatic Emergency Braking: This system uses sensors to detect potential crashes. If a crash is imminent, it will warn you and apply the brakes if needed.
  • Lane-Keeping System: This feature scans the road ahead of your Explorer Hybrid and alerts you if you begin to drift out of your lane. If you drift a few times, the system can even suggest a break.
