The 2025 Ford Explorer: A Versatile SUV for Canadian Drivers

The 2025 Ford Explorer, now available at Thorncrest Ford, continues to set the bar high for midsize SUVs in Canada. Known for its combination of performance, technology, and family-friendly design, the Explorer is well-equipped for both urban commutes and outdoor adventures across British Columbia. With its refreshed features and spacious interior, the 2025 Explorer is designed to meet the diverse needs of Canadian drivers.

Notable Changes for 2025

The 2025 Ford Explorer comes with some key updates, enhancing its already versatile nature. Notable changes include an upgraded infotainment system with a larger touchscreen, making it easier to navigate apps, maps, and entertainment. The new SYNC® 4A system, now standard on all trims, offers better connectivity with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, along with an available 14-speaker B&O® Sound System in higher trims for those looking to elevate their in-car audio experience.

Additionally, Ford has made small refinements to the exterior design, such as a more sculpted grille and sleek LED lighting. These updates give the Explorer a more modern and aggressive appearance, perfect for standing out on the streets of Vancouver or during family trips to the surrounding provincial parks.

Exterior Design and Presence

The 2025 Ford Explorer continues to embody a rugged yet modern design. The SUV’s bold grille and sharp LED headlights give it a commanding presence on the road. Standard 18-inch wheels and roof rails add functionality, while higher trims offer available features such as 20-inch alloy wheels and a power liftgate, making loading and unloading gear much easier. Whether you're cruising through White Rock or heading for a weekend camping trip, the Explorer is equipped to handle it all.

Interior Comfort and Cargo Space

Inside, the 2025 Explorer offers ample room for families and adventurers alike. With seating for up to seven and over 2,486 litres of cargo space when the rear seats are folded, this SUV ensures you have plenty of room for passengers and luggage alike. Available features such as heated and ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a panoramic sunroof elevate comfort across all rows.

Ford has also included thoughtful storage solutions throughout the cabin. The rear seats fold flat with ease, creating a flexible cargo area ideal for hauling sports gear, luggage, or camping essentials. For those planning longer trips, the Explorer’s spacious design and comfortable seating make it the perfect companion for adventures across BC, from hiking trails to coastal getaways.

Performance Features: Power and Efficiency

The 2025 Explorer is powered by a standard 2.3-litre EcoBoost® engine, delivering 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering smooth shifts and optimal power distribution. For those who need more capability, the available 3.0-litre V6 produces up to 400 horsepower and is ideal for towing up to 5,600 pounds, making it perfect for hauling trailers, boats, or campers.

The Intelligent 4WD system comes in handy for navigating through snow-covered roads or rougher terrains, especially useful for Canadian winters. The Explorer also offers up to 5 drive modes—Normal, Sport, Eco, Slippery, and Tow/Haul—allowing you to adapt to any driving condition, from city streets to mountain roads.

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
