The Ultimate Three-Row Command Center
The 2026 Ford Explorer continues to set the standard for family SUVs, offering a refined cabin that balances high-tech sophistication with everyday durability. For 2026, the interior receives a significant upgrade with more soft-touch materials and the introduction of the new Ford Digital Experience. Designed to accommodate up to seven passengers, the Explorer provides a first-class environment for every occupant, from the available multicontour massaging front seats to the spacious third row. It is a vehicle built to make every family road trip feel like a luxury getaway.
Versatile Cargo & Passenger Space
Flexibility is at the heart of the 2026 Explorer’s design. With all seats in place, you’ll find 16.3 cubic feet of storage, which expands to a massive 85.8 cubic feet when the second and third rows are folded flat. Passengers can stretch out with 43 inches of front-row legroom and 31.8 inches in the third row, which is comfortably sized for both kids and adults. Available PowerFold® third-row seats and second-row E-Z Entry captain’s chairs make reconfiguring the cabin effortless, allowing you to switch from carpool duty to hauling 8-foot lumber in a matter of seconds.
Cutting-Edge Connectivity & Features
Technology is front and center with the standard 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The 2026 model features Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing you to access your favorite apps, maps, and music seamlessly. For long highway hauls, the available BlueCruise 1.5 offers hands-free driving with new automatic lane-change capability. From the standard tri-zone climate control to the available 14-speaker B&O® Sound System, every detail is engineered to keep your family connected, comfortable, and safe on the road.
