The 2026 Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV that offers a premium interior experience with roomy, comfortable seating for up to seven passengers. Many trims come standard with heated captain's chairs in the first and second rows, upholstered in quality cloth or ActiveX materials. Higher-end trims like the Platinum and ST offer multicontour seats with Active Motion massage functionality and premium quilted leather. With power adjustments and ample legroom, it's an inviting space for any journey.
Attention to detail is evident throughout the Explorer's well-appointed cabin. Depending on the trim level, you'll find interior accents like genuine wood inlays, brushed aluminum, and chrome finishes. The top Platinum trim features an elegant leather-wrapped dashboard and door panels. Thoughtful touches contribute to a decidedly upscale ambiance.
An available panoramic fixed glass roof with power sunshade allows natural light to fill the cabin. This expansive moonroof makes the interior feel open and airy. On pleasant days, a simple button press retracts the sunshade to let in sunshine and fresh air.
Behind the third row, the Explorer offers 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to 47.9 cubic feet with the third row folded. A power liftgate comes standard on most trims for convenient loading and unloading. With all rear seats folded, you'll have a generous 87.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity—perfect for transporting large items or all your gear for an outdoor adventure.
