The 2025 Ford Explorer is a versatile mid-size SUV, and is the ideal choice for families for a variety of reasons. When shopping at Kelly Ford in Melbourne, FL, there are many good choices, to be sure, when it comes to family-friendly SUVs. However, the following information will outline what makes the 2025 Ford Escape stand out among the crowd.
Overview of the 2025 Ford Explorer
This model of the Ford Explorer is ideally suited for family life thanks to the fact that it offers flexible three-row seating, allowing you to carry up to seven passengers, along with the fact that it boasts ample legroom and a comfortable interior. In addition, features like the Ford Digital Experience enhance the entertainment and connectivity of the vehicle, which is a fact loved by kids, especially those in tween and teenage groups. Overall, this vehicle is a well-rounded option at an affordable price point that gives you a safe, yet stylish and sporty option to get your kids to and from all their activities and commitments.
Comfortable For Everyone
We all get it. When kids aren’t comfortable in the back seat, even short trips can seem torturous. The “are we there yet?” questions and the fighting for arm and leg space can get tiresome quickly. Thankfully, the ample and comfortable interior offered by the Explorer has this covered. As previously mentioned, you can seat up to seven people. Also, even in the back, adults— or kids the size of adults— are comfortable. In addition, you can also opt instead for captain’s chairs in the second row to provide even more space for older kids. All this, and when you do need to haul stuff, there is plenty of space for cargo.
It’s Safe
Aside from technology and a comfortable ride, another immensely important characteristic of any family vehicle should be one of overall safety. The 2025 Explorer boasts the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist safety technology features on all models. This includes blind spot information (with cross-traffic alert), a lane-keeping system, auto high-beam headlamps, automatic emergency braking and pre-collision assist, reverse sensing system and active park assist. This is all in addition to BlueCruise hands-free highway driving.
You Can’t Not Mention The Technology
When it comes to today’s kids, technology is king. The 2025 Ford Escape excels in their area as well, much to the elation of the kids who get toted around in this vehicle. The Escape offers seamless smartphone integration, which we all know is important. In addition, for the driver’s ease of use and the passengers who hog the controls, there is an updated infotainment system, large touchscreen display measuring 13.2 inches, and intuitive controls. There is even a fully digital instrument cluster for the driver. Notable tech-based features include voice-activated control, USB ports in all three rows, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and available built-in navigation.
Power and Comfort
When it comes to what’s under the hood instead of what’s in the cabin, the 2025 Ford Escape earns its flowers here too, with a powerful 400-horsepower 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine. This vehicle effectively balances efficiency and power. This means the engine provides strong acceleration, allowing for confident highway passing. It can also be bought in all-wheel drive, which gives more control for drivers on slippery roads. Higher trim levels even include upgraded engines and sport-tuned suspension. Overall, the Escape handles smoothly and is easy to maneuver even though it’s not exactly small in stature. It is also powerful enough to tow with, which is important when you are a camping or boating family. You can tow up to 5,600, which is a best-in-class towing capacity.
It Looks Great Too
In addition to all the features that the 2025 Ford Explorer boasts and its powerful, yet comfortable ride, it also has some redesigned exterior features like the black-painted roof option and revamped grille, headlights, and taillights. This means that not only is this SUV a great option for families because of all that it offers, but it also looks pretty good driving down the road too! Let’s just put it this way: it doesn’t scream family car. It looks like something anyone would want to drive.
