New 2027 Ford Explorer Active 4x4 in St. Louis, MO

The 2027 Ford Explorer Active is designed for families needing flexible space, daily convenience, and real peace of mind. With three rows of seating, this SUV accommodates growing families and easily handles multiple car seats. Access to the rear bench is straightforward, making school drop-offs and family outings simpler, while the fold-flat third row means strollers or sports gear fit in the back without hassle.

Parents balancing active family routines and busy schedules will appreciate the Explorer’s thoughtful layout and practical features. The spacious cabin and Lincoln Soft Touch Ebony interior provide quiet comfort for both young children and teens. Its combination of easy rear-seat access and ample cargo capacity supports everything from after-school pickups to weekend getaways. For St. Louis families, all-weather confidence from standard 4WD makes this SUV a strong fit for Midwest seasons and unpredictable road conditions.

Handling everyday errands or vacations is smooth thanks to the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. The Explorer strikes a balance between brisk acceleration and fuel efficiency, delivering an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. The drivetrain’s capability ensures confident traction on slippery roads or light trails, while the platform’s quiet ride and well-tuned suspension minimize fatigue for both drivers and passengers on long trips.

Family safety is a top priority, and this SUV delivers with advanced active safety equipment. Dual front, side, knee, and overhead airbags provide comprehensive occupant coverage. Active systems like electronic stability control, ABS brakes, and traction control help keep the vehicle composed in changing conditions. The rearview camera and emergency communication system (911 Assist) offer added reassurance, while LATCH anchor points in the second and third rows make child seat installation straightforward, so parents know their loved ones are secure on every drive.

Daily convenience comes from features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a navigation system, and remote keyless entry. The Explorer’s automatic temperature control and front dual-zone A/C keep the cabin comfortable for all passengers, and the rear window wiper and defroster ensure clear visibility.
