Top Features in the 2025 Ford SUV Lineup
The 2025 Ford Explorer offers a range of trims perfectly designed for different lifestyles in and around Fredericton. From outdoor seekers to urban adventurers, the Explorer family makes it easy to pick the one made just for you. Let’s explore how each trim stands out and meets your needs.
2025 Explorer Active
The Explorer Active is ready for adventure. Its turbocharged 2.3‑litre EcoBoost engine with 300 horsepower and 310 lb‑ft of torque gives it a confident, agile feel. It comes standard with rear‑wheel drive and offers intelligent all‑wheel drive. Cloth seats feature durable ActiveX inserts, while the second row folds flat at the touch of a button. You’ll find a 13.2‑inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, fog lights, and keyless start. With 1,302 litres of cargo space behind the second row, it’s great for beach gear, boots, or a day trip to the Saint John River.
2025 Ford Explorer ST‑Line
The ST‑Line adds sporty style and enhanced driving feel. It keeps the same 300‑horsepower engine but adds dark 20‑ or 21‑inch wheels and blacked‑out trim. All‑wheel drive and paddle shifters bring extra driver appeal. Sporty design gives this Explorer a stronger street presence. The cabin includes athletic styling and keeps the same comfort features as Active. It’s ideal for drivers who want a sharper look and dynamic feel without compromising space or tech.
2025 Ford Explorer Platinum model
Luxury grows with the Platinum model. It offers both the 300‑horsepower engine or a twin‑turbo V6 with 400 horsepower and 415 lb‑ft of torque. Leather appointments include heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and second‑row captain’s chairs for extra comfort. A twin‑panel moonroof opens the cabin to the sky. You also get hands‑free liftgate and the same high‑end touchscreen experience. Ford BlueCruise, the hands‑free highway driving system, is available for busy travel or regional drives.
2025 Ford Explorer ST
The ST model is the performance flagship. It features the twin‑turbo 3.0‑litre V6 with 400 horsepower and 415 lb‑ft of torque. Sport-tuned suspension, red brake calipers, and 21‑inch wheels give it powerful handling. A 10‑speed transmission and all‑wheel drive come standard. Every model seats six or seven people while still offering the Explorer’s generous 1,302‑litre cargo space. Inside you’ll find the same tech setup as other trims plus unique ST accents. If you want excitement on your commute or weekend trips, the ST matches strength with utility.
