New 2026 Ford Explorer Active 4x4 in St. Louis, MO

The 2026 Ford Explorer Active makes family life easier with its spacious three-row layout, designed to fit multiple car seats and allow easy access for children. With a roomy gray cloth interior and flexible bench seat in the third row, this SUV adapts to growing families.

Parents seeking a reliable SUV for daily school runs and weekend adventures will appreciate the Explorer’s comfort and versatility. With three rows, this vehicle easily accommodates young children in car seats or older kids heading to after-school activities. The rear air conditioning keeps every passenger comfortable, and keyless entry simplifies hectic mornings. For St. Louis families, the 4WD system offers added confidence during winter weather and occasional road trips.

The Explorer’s 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivers smooth, predictable power whether merging onto highways or navigating city traffic with a full cabin. The 4WD drivetrain ensures stable handling in rain or snow, and the independent suspension absorbs bumps for a composed ride. With EPA ratings of 20 city and 27 highway MPG, it helps keep fuel stops minimal during busy family routines. Its low mileage of 1,123 miles means it’s nearly new and ready for many adventures ahead.

Safety is a top priority for families, and this SUV is equipped to protect what matters most. Dual front, side, knee, and overhead airbags provide comprehensive coverage throughout all three rows. The LATCH system supports car seat installation, while a rearview camera enhances visibility in crowded parking lots. ABS brakes, stability control, and traction control help keep the vehicle steady in unexpected situations. Automatic high-beam headlights and emergency communication via 911 Assist further contribute to peace of mind on every drive.

Feature highlights include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless device integration, a navigation system to keep family trips on track, and rear air conditioning for back-row comfort. SiriusXM with 360L and six speakers provide entertainment for long drives. The power driver seat and dual-zone automatic climate control make it easy to tailor the environment for both driver and passengers. Split folding rear seats increase cargo flexibility, and remote keyless entry adds convenience to busy family routines.
