2025 Ford Explorer Active

• The all-new Active trim model delivers a long list of features at an excellent price.
• While the base Active includes modern comfort, tech, and safety features, the mid-level ST-Line adds sporty styling and a few tech upgrades.
• This SUV was built to last — and it provides 300 horsepower to boot!
• Get your Explorer Active starting at just $40,050*.

The Explorer Active impresses with its incredible list of standard features, giving you and your family both a sporty ride and a cushy cabin at the same time. Better still, as the Explorer’s entry-level trim model, the Active delivers everything at a great price! If you’re shopping for a three-row family hauler that won’t put too big a dent in your monthly budget, this is the SUV for you.

The first thing you’ll notice is the price difference; the stylish ST-Line (starting at $45,020) is more expensive than the entry-level Active (starting at $40,050). And while the Active comes standard with some very swanky items (including heated front seats and Ford’s all-new infotainment system), the ST-Line adds more of them (like driver’s seat memory settings and ambient interior lighting). The ST-Line is also notable for its sporty styling, inside and out (featuring 20-inch wheels and Red interior accent stitching).
