The 2026 Ford Explorer Active RWD is built for families and professionals who want everyday comfort paired with confident performance and modern technology. Finished in Space White Metallic with a Dark Space Gray ActiveX interior, this Explorer delivers a clean, upscale appearance while remaining practical for real-world use.

Inside, the Explorer Active immediately feels modern and driver-focused. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster provides clear, customizable information right in front of you, while the large 13.2-inch touchscreen anchors the dash with intuitive controls for navigation, audio, and vehicle settings.
