SUVs are excellent options for those who are looking for a family vehicle or a powerful off-road companion. The 2022 Ford Explorer is great for both.
West Point Ford knows how important it is for our West Point, King William, and Williamsburg, Virginia, neighbors to learn all about a vehicle before buying it. That's why we've put together this review.
Below, you'll find information on the Explorer's performance, safety features, and even some features that can help make your life a little bit easier.
2022 Ford Explorer Performance and Power
The Ford Explorer is an SUV that's got plenty of power to get you going. All three engine options deliver at least 300 horsepower and give you the option of rear-wheel drive or available Intelligent 4-Wheel Drive.
The standard engine for the Explorer is a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 with 300 horsepower when working with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Working with the same transmission, the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 generates even more power-hitting a whopping 400 horsepower.
For those who prefer a hybrid engine, the Explorer has got you covered. The available 3.3L Hybrid V6 has 318 horsepower to work with plus an EPA-estimated 27 city/28 highway MPG.
Are you interested in going on some off-road adventures? The Timberline trim of the Explorer is designed for off-roading, and the Terrain Management Systemâ„¢ gives you drive modes to tackle whatever terrain you find with options like:
- Deep Snow/Sand
- Trail
- Sport
Ford Explorer Convenience Features
Your SUV should make your daily drives a little bit easier. The 2022 Explorer can do just that.
The SYNC® 3 infotainment system helps you have fun and get the job done. Part of the infotainment system includes:
- Hands-free capability
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- Access to smartphone apps
The available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate lets you load up the trunk with groceries or luggage without putting anything down. Just wave your foot under the rear bumper!
Ford Explorer: Drive With Confidence
When you drive, the Ford Explorer has your back. The SUV comes standard with driver-assisting features that help keep you safe-many of which are part of the Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ Technology suite.
Standard features in this suite include:
- Rear View Camera
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
The Rear View Camera lets you see directly behind your Explorer. The built-in washer helps keep it clear while you reverse more easily.
The BLIS® system uses radar to keep an eye on your blind spots. If you change lanes, it warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot. The Cross-Traffic Alert warns you while you're pulling out of a parking spot or driveway if cars are approaching from either side.
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking scans the road ahead for potential accidents and warns you if an accident is imminent. It can also apply the brakes when needed.
