The 2027 Ford Explorer ST surrounds occupants in a world of sensory refinement, where the Onyx interior with vivid red stitching immediately signals a focus on tactile and visual luxury.
This SUV is crafted for those who see daily driving as a chance to indulge in refinement, whether commuting or embarking on family getaways. The Explorer STâs three rows of seatingâ"including a versatile bench in the third rowâ"accommodate both executives seeking modern luxury and families who appreciate feature-rich value. Residents in and around Homewood, IL will find the 4WD system especially reassuring during Midwest winters, while heated rear seats, tri-zone climate control, and a power liftgate ensure every trip is as comfortable as it is convenient. The advanced navigation system, memory seat, and Ford Connectivity Package further enhance the everyday premium experience, turning routine journeys into elevated encounters.
The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers power effortlessly, emphasizing smoothness and composure over brute force. Acceleration is brisk yet controlled, with the drivetrain and suspension tuned to suppress road imperfections and reduce noise, vibration, and harshness for all passengers. The four-wheel independent suspension and speed-sensing steering create a confident, planted feel, while the cabin remains remarkably quiet even during highway cruising. This level of engineering makes long trips and urban drives equally relaxing, highlighting the Explorerâs ability to balance robust performance with refined comfort.
Safety in this SUV is engineered to be both advanced and unobtrusive, allowing occupants to enjoy a sophisticated sense of security. Features like Blind Spot Monitoring, ABS brakes, traction and stability control, and an array of airbagsâ"including knee and overheadâ"work seamlessly in the background. Rain-sensing wipers, automatic high-beam headlights, and a 360L-connected emergency communication system further elevate peace of mind. The rear parking camera and parking assist integrate discreetly, guiding you in and out of tight spaces without fuss. These technologies work in concert to create a cocoon of confidence, allowing the premium cabin environment to remain undisturbed by the outside world.
The Explorer ST stands out with features that turn every drive into a curated experience. Heated and ventilated Miko Suede Captain's Chairs offer both comfort and support in any weather, while the heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic temperature control ensure personalized comfort. The B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen delivers concert-quality audio, perfectly complementing quiet highway cruising.
When compared to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit and Chevrolet Traverse High Country, this SUV distinguishes itself through its tactile materials, advanced technology suite, and acoustic refinement.
What premium materials are found in the cabin? The interior features Miko Suede seating surfaces, Onyx coloring, and red accent stitching for a modern, tactile feel. How quiet is the cabin at speed? Thanks to refined engineering, four-wheel independent suspension, and advanced sound insulation, the cabin remains exceptionally hushed even at highway speeds.

Love it.
by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM
Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise. - 5.0

I love the suv its fantastic to drive only issue I have is the wind noise in the driver seat but I'd sleep in it every night the seats are comfortable.
