Overview
The 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid brings a fuel-efficient powertrain to the versatile and accommodating Explorer platform. The Explorer Hybrid was introduced for the 2020 model year—the same year the current generation of conventionally-powered Explorer made its debut. Like other Explorer models, the hybrid carries into 2021 with only minor changes.
The Explorer boasts three rows, with seating for up to six, as the second row features individual captain’s chairs. With the third-row seats in place, 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space is available. With the third row folded, there’s up to 47.9 cubic feet. When all seats are folded, the Explorer Hybrid offers 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space. A hands-free power liftgate comes as standard equipment.
The hybrid equation starts with a 3.3-liter V6 and adds an electric motor, putting out a combined 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels or available four-wheel drive (4WD) through a 10-speed automatic transmission. With rear-wheel drive (RWD), this setup returns fuel economy of 27 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined. When equipped with 4WD, the Explorer Hybrid returns 23 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.
The Explorer Hybrid is offered exclusively in the upscale Limited trim level. Standard features include remote keyless entry, remote start, three-zone climate control, leather upholstery, heated-and-ventilated front seats, and wireless device charging. It also comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen that runs the intuitive SYNC 3 infotainment system, with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Ford also provides the Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistance features as standard equipment. This includes automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams. The Explorer Hybrid also comes standard with blind-spot monitoring, front-and-rear parking sensors, traffic-sign recognition, and a 360-degree parking camera system.
The 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid starts at $49,855 in its lone Limited trim. It’s backed by a three-year/36,000-mile powertrain warranty. Hybrid components are backed by an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.

How much does the 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $23,211 |
| Year-Round Low | $23,211 |
| Year-Round High | $27,414 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $27,416 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −15.34% |
Prices have softened 15.34% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 212 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.
Is the 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid a good car?
Yes — the 5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction for this model year.
With 35.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively and still find attractive pricing.
Is the 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
For used buyers, that kind of feedback suggests lower ownership risk than you might expect, but you should still confirm maintenance history and overall condition before committing.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should prioritize a pre-purchase inspection and focus on signs of wear, prior damage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained. If a listing has incomplete records or visible condition issues, treat it as a higher-risk buy even if the price looks appealing.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.
- Deal availability: 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 212 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 15.34% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 78.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $23,211, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid's resale value?
The current average of $23,211 sits slightly below last year's $27,416.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy at a better entry point today but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you keep the vehicle in strong condition and buy at a competitive price, you improve your chances of protecting value later.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Ford Explorer Hybrid or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 15.34% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value and owner satisfaction, the 2021 is the year to focus on. If you're especially price-sensitive, compare it against nearby years and target the lowest-mileage, best-documented example you can find.
