2025 Ford Explorer Interior Seating and Features

For 2025, the Ford Explorer returns as one of the most popular three-row SUVs on the market. It’s ideal for large families who need ample room on the road, as the 2025 Explorer interior provides plenty of seating and cargo capacity options. All Ford Explorer interiors also boast cutting-edge infotainment features and a range of driver-assistance technologies to help you stay safe on the road. Let’s take a closer look inside the three-row Ford Explorer to give you a clearer idea of what’s on offer for the new model year.

What’s New for 2025?

The 2025 Ford Explorer has several new additions for you to explore. A revamped front fascia featuring a new grille and headlights immediately catches the eye. Ford has also streamlined the number of trims to just four, simplifying the decision-making process for buyers. The 2025 trims are the Active, ST-Line, Platinum, and ST. Inside, you’ll find new soft-touch materials on the doors and central console while the innovative BlueCruise hands-free driving system makes its debut. There’s also an upgraded infotainment system that we’ll dive into a little bit later.

Ford Explorer Seats

You can accommodate a total of seven people in the cabin of the 2025 Explorer. Ford has reshaped the dashboard to give front-seat passengers even more legroom and introduced new interior color schemes so you can choose one to match your personal taste. All three rows offer ample legroom for passengers, including an impressive 32 inches in the third row. Accessing the third row is made easy thanks to a mechanism that moves the second row forward at the touch of a button.

The base Active trim features a well built cabin with durable and affordable cloth upholstery. For a more luxurious option, consider the 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum, where you can add the Leather Lux package for unique stitching and quilted leather seats. Even if you opt for the more affordable ST-Line, you’ll get optional second-row captain’s chairs, reducing overall capacity to six, and heated second-row seats.

Safety Features

The Explorer comes equipped with a great range of driver-assistance tech to help protect your whole family. Ford includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert as standard, helping you to avoid accidents on the road. Some of the more premium features available in the higher trims include rain-sensing windshield wipers for clear visibility, adaptive headlights, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

For 2025, Ford also introduces the headline-grabbing BlueCruise hands-free driving system to the lineup. This innovative technology can take over steering, braking, and speed adjustment on certain stretches of highway. BlueCruise is available as an optional upgrade on all trims apart from the base Active.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The Ford Explorer 2025 models come standard with a 13.2-inch touch screen, making it easy for you to navigate the infotainment system. With eight USB ports, you and your family members should have no trouble keeping your phones and other devices charged while on the go. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility help you access your favorite apps and music on your phone. Additionally, all trims except the base Active feature a powerful 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo for top-quality sound.

The Ford Digital Experience is a suite of software integrated into the infotainment system that improves accessibility for passengers. It allows you to use apps and other features from providers such as Google and Amazon more easily. You can also stream videos from your phone directly onto the touch screen.

Ford Explorer Cargo Space

As part of this Ford Explorer seven-seater review, we also wanted to take a look at your cargo options. Even with a full load of passengers, you’ll have over 16 cubic feet of storage at the rear of the cabin. That’s about as much as you’d expect to find in a large sedan, giving you enough room to transport a load of groceries as well as the whole family. If you need to transport bulkier items, folding down the third row opens up 46 cubic feet of space, while 85 cubic feet becomes available with both rear rows folded flat.

If you take a look at Ford Explorer interior, you’ll notice a range of other practical features. The central console and door pockets are ideal for storing small items that you need to easily access during your journey. The liftgate is easily opened for unloading and loading your cargo. There are also optional second-row sunshades and ambient interior lighting so you can create the perfect atmosphere.
