Why it stands out
The 2016 Ford Explorer remains a popular choice in the midsize SUV segment due to its spacious interior, smooth ride, and robust performance options. Notably, its strong engine lineup includes a new turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder option that balances torque and efficiency well. The Explorer also introduces a luxury-oriented Platinum trim, upping the ante in terms of features and finishes. Reviews from owners highlight its comfortable seating and family-friendly cargo space, while the design refresh adds a more modern touch to its appearance. Although fuel efficiency may not be its greatest asset, with an average of 16.7 MPG reported, the Explorer compensates with a comfortable ride and reliable features like optional park assist and advanced safety technology. However, some drivers express concerns over reliability and specific missing features, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly evaluating specific models and their maintenance history when shopping for this SUV.

Extreme scratches all over vehicle. Driver seat motor seemed to be going out, and the seat turned and slanted when you moved it forward/aft (so you were not even sitting straight when you moved it back a few inches.

Nice ride. I find it a little big and will need to get used to it after driving compact vehicles. Having said that, the explorer is well laid out and comfortable to drive. Im impressed with the exceleration and handling for a larger vehicle. This sport edition is very well equipped and checks all the boxes for features you could possibly want. Overall Im very impressed with it.

Very satisfied! Excellent smooth ride. Very roomy! I had a Chevrolet Tahoe before and so far the Ford Explorer trumps the Tahoe! Love it!

I love this car! Plenty of room and it’s not a tight squeeze at all when all 3 rows are occupied. I’m 6’4” and my head actually didn’t touch the roof in the 3rd row! The Sport model has a ton of power for towing or for zipping around traffic. I’m really impressed with this model if the Explorer, it’s exceeded my expectations!
