overall
Summary
With 5,301 currently listed for sale and an average price of $42,199.00, 36.5% of 2025 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2025 Ford Explorer 5 / 5 stars.
94.7% of 2025 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
The 2025 Ford Explorer features a powerful V6 engine, a stylish interior, advanced tech with a new infotainment system, and a refined exterior design to enhance its appeal.
Why it stands out
The 2025 Ford Explorer distinguishes itself in the crowded midsize SUV market with several compelling features and improvements. Its refined design, marked by a tougher and more modern exterior look, alongside a significantly upgraded interior, provides a comfortable and stylish driving experience. The Explorer's robust performance is attributed to two available EcoBoost engines, with the twin-turbo V6 delivering impressive 400 horsepower for those seeking power while maintaining a refined driving experience. The latest technology, including the new Ford Digital Experience infotainment system, supports features such as Google Built-in and advanced safety technologies like Ford CoPilot 360+, ensuring both convenience and peace of mind for drivers. Moreover, the crew boasts excellent user ratings, highlighting customer satisfaction. However, prospective buyers should note that while the primary attributes of driving dynamics and technology are strong, the absence of a hybrid variant and a cramped third-row seating may limit its appeal for larger families or eco-conscious buyers.

Purchased an ST-Line. Very nice interior, ford updated infotainment system, excellent value between active and ST trims, sportier stylish looks compared to similar models in class, efficient 2.3 eco boost engine with plenty of pickup. Extremely pleased with our explorer.

My seventh Explorer! Always have had good luck with them! It has everything I need. I like the V6 engine vs the 2.3L which is to small for that size vehicle.
