The 2025 Ford Explorer: Advanced Technology Meets Refined Design
Posted on February 2, 2025
The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer is redefining the SUV experience with the integration of Ford's Fully Networked Vehicle (FNV) electrical architecture. This cutting-edge system, first introduced on models like the Mustang Mach-E and F-150, brings enhanced over-the-air (OTA) updates, improved cybersecurity, and advanced connectivity to the Explorer. Designed to protect against cyber threats and safeguard user data, the FNV architecture ensures that the Explorer remains secure and capable of adapting to future technological advancements.
Beyond its tech innovations, the 2025 Ford Explorer showcases a refreshed design with distinct updates that set it apart. The SUV boasts a sleeker front fascia, featuring slimmer LED headlights and wider air curtains, while the rear updates include a redesigned liftgate with taillights that extend into the nameplate applique. Certain trim levels now offer a sporty black-painted roof for those seeking a more dynamic appearance, adding to the Explorer’s appeal.
Inside, the 2025 Explorer introduces a more spacious and luxurious cabin. Soft-touch materials, available ActiveX seating, and silver mesh accents create a premium atmosphere. A redesigned dashboard provides increased room for passengers, and the centerpiece of the interior is a new 13.2-inch display powered by the Ford Digital Experience software. Enhanced air vents and a revamped center stack complete the modernized cockpit, delivering both comfort and functionality.
Production of the 2025 Ford Explorer began in May at Ford's Chicago Assembly plant, with vehicles reaching dealerships by July. Starting at $38,670 USD for the new base Active trim, the refreshed Explorer offers improved features and even more value, with certain trims priced lower than the 2024 model. The 2025 Explorer combines advanced technology, refreshed styling, and practical updates to meet the needs of modern SUV enthusiasts.
